Tertiary Minerals plc announced that the first hole at the Konkola West Copper Project, hole number KWDD001, was recently reported by KoBold Metals Company to be at a downhole depth of 1,341m and continuing in the hanging wall sequence above the target horizon. More recently, drilling progress has been a little slower than anticipated due to use of a new drill rig and variable ground conditions. Drilling will continue until the target horizon is reached.

No further announcement will be made until this first hole is completed but planning for a second drill hole is already underway.
