• Transformative Copper Discoveries in the Heart of Zambia

Midnight Sun is focussed on the exploration and discovery of world class copper deposits in the heart of the prolific Zambia-Congo Copperbelt. Our vast 506² km Solwezi Project in Zambia represents multiple distinct opportunities for the discovery of transformative, multi-generational copper deposits. We are surrounded by world-class operating mines and located adjacent to the largest copper mine in Africa – First Quantum’s Kansanshi Mine. We have joined forces with Bill Gates-backed KoBold Metals, to explore our flagship target – Dumbwa. KoBold will spend $15 million USD in exploration over the next 4.5 years, to earn a 75% interest in the target. And now, we are executing our plan to further explore the discoveries we’ve already made, systematically, across the extent of our property.

The Zambia-Congo copper belt is host to world-class copper deposits and some of the world’s richest mines. Many of the world’s leading mining companies are active in the region both as operators and explorers, including Barrick, Rio Tinto, Glencore, Ivanhoe Mines, First Quantum, Anglo American and KoBold Metals.

Midnight Sun & KoBold Metals Earn-In at Dumbwa

In January 2024, we entered into an Earn-In Agreement with KoBold Metals to explore our Dumbwa Target. KoBold can earn a 75% interest in Dumbwa by incurring USD$15 million dollars in exploration expenditures and making cumulative cash payments to Midnight Sun of USD$500,000 over 4.5 years.

Dumbwa is a tier-one exploration target, featuring a continuous high-grade copper-in-soil anomaly, which extends for over 20 km along strike and +1 km in width, with peak values of up to 0.73% copper. It is one of four key prospects that comprise our Solwezi Project.

KoBold plans to initiate an aggressive drill campaign in 2024 to begin systematic exploration of structural targets at Dumbwa.
