Operations Update: No Impact from Goma Unrest

Rome Resources Plc (AIM: RMR), the DRC-focused tin explorer, announces that its operations and on-site activities remain unaffected by the recent developments in the city of Goma. As a precautionary measure, the Company has relocated its field operations, including helicopter support, to Bukavu. Bukavu is located approximately 200 kilometres by road from Goma. 

Rome's drilling activities are continuing as planned, with three rigs currently operational and drilling across the Mont Agoma and Kalayi prospects, also situated 200 kilometres from Goma. A fourth drill rig is undergoing routine repairs and operations remain as scheduled. Rome is in the process of reviewing drill results from a number of holes at Kalayi, with an update anticipated in the coming days.

Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome Resources Plc, commented: "Our exploration programme is progressing steadily across our licences and we remain committed to advancing our projects in a safe and responsible manner. The well-being of our employees and contractors is our primary consideration, and we are closely monitoring the situation in Goma, while maintaining open lines of communication with our local team."
