Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR, FRA:33R) CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest drilling results from the Kalayi prospect in the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting what he described as the strongest intercepts achieved to date.
Barrett explained that the recent campaign, which covered over 3,000 metres of drilling, focused largely on Kalayi and delivered significantly wider intercepts than previously seen. He noted that “5 or 6 of the holes in this sequence have been much, much better… in terms of the widths of the intercepts,” pointing to encouraging signs for the project’s scale.
The company has been targeting deeper extensions of previously identified mineralisation, with early XRF readings suggesting strong continuity. While Barrett cautioned that these results remain semi-quantitative until lab assays are confirmed, he expressed confidence that the increased widths should provide a reliable indication of overall mineralisation.
Importantly, new intercepts in previously untested areas could expand the footprint of the deposit. Barrett said this “could increase the footprint quite a lot,” adding that mineralisation remains open at depth, presenting further exploration upside.
Looking ahead, Rome Resources is assessing next steps, including potential drilling strategies to access deeper zones more efficiently. The proximity of Kalayi to the Alphamin operation - just eight kilometres away - also provides a clear pathway toward potential development and commercialisation.
