Rome Resources Confirms Significant Copper Intercept in Expanding Polymetallic Potential at Mont Agoma

• Drill hole MADD018 at Mont Agoma intersected a broad 148m copper zone from 73.6m depth, including a 62.25m cumulative higher-grade zone averaging 0.61% Cu.
• The most recent drill hole MADD024 encountered visible tin mineralization across a 40m interval, with early indications suggesting tin grades are strengthening at depth. This supports Rome's geological model and strategy of deeper drilling to assess the tin potential.
• Drilling to date has defined a robust polymetallic system at Mont Agoma, with copper and zinc dominant in the upper levels. High-grade zinc mineralization has been intersected over a strike length of 500m so far.
• The mineralized system remains open for extension along strike for over 1km, as well as at depth, providing substantial potential for further growth. Rome currently has four drill rigs operating at Mont Agoma to accelerate the evaluation of these extensions.
• The encouraging results provide a strong foundation for continued exploration at Mont Agoma aimed at expanding and defining a major copper-tin-zinc-silver discovery. Rome is systematically exploring the project to unlock its full potential as a large-scale polymetallic deposit.

Rome Resources (AIM:RMR) is a tin and base metals explorer focused on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The company's flagship assets are the Mont Agoma and Kalayi prospects located in the prolific Bisie North region. Rome is systematically exploring these projects to unlock their potential as large-scale copper, tin, zinc and silver deposits.

Intersect Copper Zone Confirmed

The latest assay results from drill hole MADD018 at Mont Agoma have confirmed a significant 148m copper zone from 73.6m depth. This intercept includes a 62.25m cumulative higher-grade zone at 0.61% Cu. Key intervals include:

• 5m at 0.84% Cu from 79m
• 10.5m at 0.56% Cu from 109.5m
• 6m at 0.76% Cu from 129m
• 9.75m at 0.68% Cu from 172m
• 17.25m at 0.43% Cu from 199m

In the news release, CEO Paul Barrett commented:

"The confirmation of 148m of copper mineralisation at Mont Agoma is a major milestone in defining the potential scale of this system. These results demonstrate that Mont Agoma hosts a large-scale, high-value copper-tin-zinc-silver system, where copper and zinc dominate at shallower near surface levels and tin grades strengthen at depth - exactly the zonation model we are targeting."

Tin Potential Increasing With Depth

Recent drilling in hole MADD024 has identified visible tin across a 40m interval along with a 179m visible copper zone. This hole is approximately 70m beneath MADD012 which previously reported a 40m wide zone of tin grading between 0.1-0.3% Sn.

While assays are pending for MADD024, the visual observations and handheld XRF readings suggest tin grades are increasing with depth. This supports the company's geological model and strategy of drilling deeper to assess the tin mineralization. The presence of tin, especially with potentially improving grades at depth, significantly enhances the economic appeal of the Mont Agoma project.

Robust Polymetallic System

The drilling to date has defined high-grade polymetallic mineralization over a 500m strike length, remaining open for over 1km to the northwest as well as at depth and to the southeast.

Copper and zinc appear dominant in the upper levels, with copper strongest to the northwest and zinc to the southeast, aligning with extensive soil anomalies in those directions. Significant previous intercepts include 41m at 3.52% Cu, 90m at 4.17% Zn, and 25.4m at 13.97% Zn (equivalent to 4.1% Cu). High-grade silver is also present throughout, associated with the copper and tin zones.

These results suggest potential for substantial open-pit copper and zinc resources at shallower depths, with higher-value tin mineralization emerging below.

Expanding Strike & Depth Potential

The 200m wide mineralized corridor identified at Mont Agoma remains open along strike and at depth, providing extensive potential to further grow this discovery with continued drilling.

CEO Paul Barrett commented: "Whilst it is still early days and we need to receive the assays back from the lab for MADD024, early indications seem to very encouraging in proving up our understanding of the geological model. With all four drill rigs now focused at Mont Agoma, we are accelerating exploration efforts to explore deeper and continue extending strike. This expanded drill programme will drive a steady stream of newsflow as we work towards defining a major copper-tin system."

For Investors

The latest drilling results from Rome Resources' Mont Agoma prospect confirm the presence of a significant copper-rich polymetallic system. The 148m copper intercept, including a higher-grade zone of 62.25m at 0.61% Cu, demonstrates the scale potential, while the emerging tin mineralization at depth adds an important high-value component.

With four rigs now drilling to extend the strike and depth extent of the mineralization, Rome is well positioned to continue growing this discovery. Investors can look forward to a strong news flow as the company works towards defining a major copper-tin-zinc-silver deposit at Mont Agoma.

The company is also awaiting assays from the nearby Kalayi prospect as it advances towards a potential maiden resource estimate. With its dominant ground position in this prolific district, Rome offers investors exposure to the potential for multiple large-scale base metal and tin discoveries in the DRC.
