Arc Minerals to start over 6,000m drilling at Virgo copper project near MMG's Khoemacau mine

Arc Minerals announced a new diamond drilling campaign exceeding 6,000 metres at its Virgo copper project in Botswana, targeting areas near MMG's Khoemacau mining project. The drilling will focus on about 14 kilometres of the Kalahari Copper Belt, testing promising zones identified by recent surveys. Priority targets include the South Fold, Central area, and Zone 9, where near-surface copper extensions are expected. This campaign aims to expand on recent copper discoveries close to MMG’s operations, with drill core analysis to follow.
