Good Morning Team.
In this podcast, we once again dug into Rome, the DRC-focused critical minerals explorer sitting just 8km from Alphamin’s Bisie tin mine — valued at roughly CAD$1.9 billion versus Rome’s own £25 million market cap.
The headline news is the 2 July assay results from Kalayi, which delivered a length-weighted average grade of 2.41% tin — a world-class number that would rank among the very best tin deposits globally, arguably second only to Alphamin’s own Mpama North (4.01%) and ahead of Peru’s San Rafael (2.05%).
Standout intercepts including KBDD025 (9.5m @ 2.05% Sn), KBDD033 (19.5m @ 0.52% Sn) and KBDD034 (5.0m @ 1.88% Sn) show wider mineralised zones than any previous Kalayi campaign, setting up an updated Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for later this month.
We also worked through the broader picture - the consolidation of minority ownership stakes at both Kalayi and Mont Agoma, the pilot mining programme supporting conversion to a full DRC mining licence, the newly completed airborne geophysical survey, and the New Brunswick option in Canada as a lower-cost second string to the story.
Throughout, we came back to the central thesis — that Rome is assembling all the pieces (clean ownership, regulatory progress, resource scale, and now lab-confirmed world-class grades) that make it an increasingly hard-to-ignore feedstock candidate for Alphamin’s existing processing infrastructure next door.
Tune in.
