[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \n14 May 2025\nTertiary Minerals plc\n (\"Tertiary\" or the \"Company\")\n \nProject Focus: Mushima North copper-zinc-silver Project, Zambia\n \nTertiary Minerals plc (AIM: TYM) is pleased to provide the following project summary highlighting its Mushima North Project (\"Mushima North\" or the \"Project\"), one of five prospective projects Tertiary currently holds within key locations in Zambia and targeting copper and associated metals (silver, zinc, cobalt).\n \nHighlights:\n \n· Large licence located in the Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (\"IOCG\") region of northwestern Zambia. Highly prospective for IOCG and sedimentary copper and polymetallic replacement occurrences.\n· Located only 20km east of the historic Kalengwa copper-silver mine, currently being re-developed by Moxico Resources plc.\n· Extensive, historic regional datasets including exploration undertaken by BHP Billiton and First Quantum Minerals (\"FQM\") from the 2000s onwards.\n· The Project is part of a technical cooperation agreement with FQM allowing Tertiary access to FQM's extensive dataset and technical expertise.\n· Multiple targets identified based on re-interpretation of historic geochemistry and geophysical datasets and confirmed by recent exploration work undertaken by Tertiary.\n· Promising initial drilling confirms Tertiary's approach and exploration model. Current priority, targeting near surface, polymetallic silver-copper-zinc at the A1 target.\n \nRichard Belcher, Managing Director of Tertiary Minerals plc, commented:\n\"The Mushima North Project hosts several drill-ready exploration targets defined by a combination of regional geochemical and geophysical surveys. Initial, low-cost exploration by Tertiary has returned promising results, including the identification of polymetallic silver-copper-zinc mineralisation at the A1 target. This mineralisation remains open-ended, both along strike and down dip, and has several geological similarities to the nearby Kalengwa copper-silver deposit, located approximately 20km to the west.\n\"This Project is clearly highly prospective and will form the focus of our planned exploration for the upcoming field season, in addition to our projects being advanced by our joint venture partners.\n\"Mushima North fo...
