Resource Mining Corporation’s Tanzanian Projects

Resource Mining Corporation (ASX:RMI) has been actively involved in several exploration projects in Tanzania, primarily focusing on nickel occurrences in sulphides within known and prolific mafic and ultramafic intrusions.

  1. Kabanga North Nickel Project: This project is strategically located along the strike from the Kabanga Nickel Project. The Kabanga Nickel Project is noteworthy for its estimated mineral resource of 58 million tonnes with a nickel grade of 2.62%. This project showcases the potential of the region for significant nickel deposits.
  2. Kapalagulu Project: Spanning an impressive 32 km, this project involves a mapped mafic/ultramafic sequence. Historical reports from this area have indicated the presence of nickel, PGE (Platinum Group Elements), and copper anomalism, making it a site of significant interest for Resource Mining Corporation.
  3. Southern Projects: This encompasses three distinct areas – Liparamba, Kitai, and Mbinga. These sites were previously explored by industry giants like BHP/Albidon and Jacana Resources. The historical exploration data from these areas further underscores the potential for nickel discoveries.
