Patriot Resources reports high-grade copper and silver results from its maiden drilling at the Tonic prospect in Zambia. The company says the mineralisation is found at or near surface. Reported assays include a top result of 2.56% copper and 62.3 grams per tonne (g/t) silver. According to coverage across outlets, these results are part of the initial drilling programme at Tonic, described as alongside or near a “Zambian giant,” though the specific nature of that neighbouring asset is not detailed in the provided summaries. The reports present the findings as an early milestone for the prospect, with the copper-silver mineralisation appearing in the first drilling tests. The information in the sources is limited to the headline assay figures and the fact that the results come from maiden drilling at the Tonic prospect at surface level.
