Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc - Encouraging Deep Level Drilling Results at Blanket Mine
Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc has reported encouraging results from its deep-level drilling program at the Blanket Mine. The drilling campaign, which focused on evaluating the continuity of the main orebodies (Blanket, Eroica, and Lima) at depth, has demonstrated that these orebodies extend below the current lowest levels of the mine (34 level, approximately 1,110 meters below surface). Key highlights include over 10,000 meters of drilling completed, with the Blanket and Eroica orebodies showing grades and widths consistent with or exceeding expectations. Notably, high-grade intersections were found in the newly identified Blanket 7 orebody, and the Lima orebody was confirmed down to the 34-level horizon. These results are expected to increase confidence in the existing mineral resources, potentially upgrade inferred resources to the indicated category, and support future life-of-mine planning. The findings will be incorporated into an updated mineral resource and reserve statement in 2026. The company emphasizes that these results reinforce the geological strength of the Blanket Mine and highlight the value of its investments in enhancing resource confidence and building a stronger foundation for future value creation.
