Rome Resources plc is commencing its 2026 field program this week at its New Brunswick tin-tungsten-indium project in Eastern Canada, with the company expecting to incur a maximum of CA$150k in exploration costs. The program will involve over 500 samples from surface and trench sampling across three priority target areas, including locations adjacent to the historic Mount Pleasant Tungsten Mine, aiming to identify tin, tungsten, and indium mineralization. The company has also received an exploration grant from the Province of New Brunswick to support these expenditures. Disclaimer*
