South Pacific Metals Returns up to 12.8% Copper from Outcrop Outside the Kili Teke Resource; Massive Sulphide Traced over 200 Metres
NewsfileAug 31, 2026 · 5 days ago
Analyst Takeaways
- High-grade copper outcrop samples (12.8% Cu) discovered outside the current Kili Teke resource boundary suggest significant exploration upside and potential resource expansion.
- A 200-metre-long massive sulphide unit mapped along a structural contact remains open, indicating the mineralized system extends beyond currently defined limits.
- Historic trench validation through new sampling (averaging 0.36% Cu and 0.72 g/t Au) provides confidence in previously identified mineralization and exploration methodology.
- Multi-element tenor (Cu, Au, and Ag) demonstrates a robust mineralization system typical of porphyry deposits with economic stacking potential.
- The discovery outside the resource boundary positions the company to potentially expand the mineral resource through follow-up drilling on a proximal, well-defined target.
