Mobilisation Update

Start of the next phase of exploration

 

Rome Resources (AIM: RMR), the DRC-focused tin and copper explorer, is
pleased to announce that the mobilisation of equipment and personnel to its
Bisie North Project is now underway. This marks the start of the next phase of
exploration following the Company's maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE")
released on 30 October 2025.

 

The MRE confirmed Bisie North as a large, multi-metallic system, with
significant tin, copper, zinc and silver mineralisation defined at Kalayi and
Mont Agoma.  Importantly, drilling to date has only tested a small portion of
the licence area and only to shallow depths of approximately 220 - 250 metres.
Internal geological modelling by Rome Resources indicates exploration targets
across the two deposits of between 102,000 and 260,000 aggregate tonnes of
contained tin, highlighting the scale of potential growth as the system is
drilled deeper and along strike.

 

As such, the next phase of exploration is designed to begin testing that
deeper potential by targeting:

 

·    Deeper tin zones beneath the main Mont Agoma polymetallic system,
where modelling indicates tin grades are likely to strengthen with depth as
copper declines, consistent with regional analogues such as Alphamin's Bisie
mine;

·    The Mont Agoma East tin zone, where a near-surface 23 metres tin
intercept was identified post-MRE and will now be drilled out ahead of
inclusion in a follow-up resource estimate; and

·    High-grade tin shoots at Kalayi, where shallow historic intercepts
suggest thicker, higher-grade zones may exist at depth, mirroring patterns
seen at the neighbouring Bisie mine.

 

The BAC contract helicopter returned to the DRC over the weekend and is now
preparing for phased mobilisation of the crews and equipment to the project
site over the coming days.  Drilling will commence first on Mont Agoma, where
the three rigs are currently positioned, before moving to Kalayi once the
initial sequence of drill holes is completed.

 

A further update will be provided as drilling commences, followed by regular
updates as results start to flow.

 

Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome Resources, commented:

 

"We are very pleased to restart operations so soon after delivering the maiden
MRE, which confirmed Bisie North as a significant, multi-metallic system with
exceptional growth potential. This new drilling phase is designed to test
exactly where the system is expected to become highest grade specifically at
depth beneath Mont Agoma, within the newly identified Mont Agoma East zone,
and below the known high-grade shoots at Kalayi.

 

This is a strategically important programme for Rome Resources, focused on the
deeper source of the tin. With mobilisation underway, we look forward to
advancing drilling rapidly and updating the market as results come through."
