Another Exceptional Copper-Vanadium-Lead Intersection At Nosib

and step out hole extends copper-vanadium-lead mineralisation along strike to the NE

Golden Deeps Limited (“Golden Deeps” or “Company”) is very pleased to announce further, exceptional, copper-vanadium-lead-silver intersections from the second diamond drill hole at the Nosib Block (“Nosib”) Prospect, located in the Otavi Mountain Land of northern Namibia (see location Figure3).

Highlights:

  • The second diamond drill hole completed at Nosib Prospect, NSBDD002, has produced exceptionally high-grade copper-lead-vanadium and silver intersections from surface, including:
    • NSBDD002: 20.85m @ 2.0% Cu,1.54% V 2O5, 6.0% Pb, 7.7g / tAg (6.4%CuEq*) from 0m
      • incl. 12.10m @ 3.2% Cu, 2.54% V 2O5, 9.8% Pb, 8.0g/tAg (10.3% CuEq*) from 0m
      • incl. 3.00m @ 6.3% Cu, 7.82% V 2O5, 21.9% Pb, 6.4g/tAg (25.9% CuEq*) from 7.3m

*See copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation Appendix 1

  • NSBDD002didnottesttheentiretargetzonedue to bogged drill-rods, but still intersected an overall zone of 45.7mdownhole/truethicknessataveragegradeof1.0%Cu,0.72%V2O5,2.8%Pb
  • These exceptional diamond drillhole intersections are located within the shallow, supergene, zone of the Nosib deposit between previousvery-high-gradecopper,vanadium,leadandsilver intersections,including:

* NSBRC0102: 29m @1.54% Cu,1.19% V 2O5, 4.49% Pb, 6.97g/tAg (6.6% CuEq*) from 2m

    • incl. 13m @ 2.83% Cu, 2.52% V 2O5, 9.18% Pb, 6.57 g/tAg (13.3% CuEq*) from 3m
    • incl. 9m @ 3.66% Cu, 3.62% V 2O5, 11.9% Pb, 7.70g/tAg (18.4% CuEq*) from 3m

* NSBRC0071: 24m @ 1.33% Cu, 1.37% V 2O5, 4.77% Pb, 3.67g/tAg (5.0% CuEq*) from 3m

    • incl. 10m @ 2.65% Cu, 3.12% V 2O5, 10.7% Pb, 7.79g/tAg (11.0% CuEq*) from 3m
    • incl. 6m @ 3.67% Cu, 4.40% V 2O5, 14.9% Pb, 12.2g/tAg (15.4%CuEq*) from 6m

*See copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation Appendix 1

  • In addition, diamond drillhole NSBDD004, a step-out hole to the northeast of NSBRC0071, has intersected “frequent pods and patches of malachite” (copper-carbonate) as well as copper- sulphide mineralisation from 24.5m to 46.5m (22mzone) with pXRF readings up to 4.4% copper
  • Diamond drilling is continuing (NSBDD005) with a higher-capacity diamond drilling rig, testing down plunge of the previous intersection in NSBRC009² of 5m @ 2.58% Cu,18.8g/tAg from 61 m that indicates potential for a high-grade copper-silver sulphide zone at depth
  • Diamond drilling is also planned to test down-plunge extensions of the very-high-grade Khusib Springs deposit, 15km east of Nosib, that previously produced 300,000t @ 10% Cu,584g/tAg3

What's the Next US Copper Mine? 26 Copper Projects to Watch

Companies with upcoming copper mines in the US could be poised to benefit from tailwinds in the sector, including the new administration promising to cut "red tape" for critical minerals projects.

Copper demand is climbing quickly in recent years because of the rapid urbanization of the global south as well as the developing energy transition sectors. However, current copper mines are increasing in age and there is a lack of new copper mines to replace them, both due to limited greenfield exploration and long permitting times.

This has put the world's copper supply in a difficult situation, and experts expect to see supply deficits begin to emerge in 2025.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Euro Sun Gains 54 Percent as Copper Hits New High

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

The US Bureau of Economic Analysis released February personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index data on Friday (March 28). The figures show inflation increased 2.5 percent on an annualized basis in February, aligning with analyst expectations and reflecting no change from the 2.5 percent recorded in January. On a monthly basis, inflation rose by 0.3 percent, also matching January’s increase.

However, core PCE, which excludes the volatile food and energy prices, increased 2.8 percent year-over-year and 0.4 percent month-over-month. Both came in above analyst expectations of 2.7 and 0.3 percent, respectively.

Copper prices surged past US$10,000 per metric ton on Thursday (March 20), hitting a five month high as traders scrambled to secure supply ahead of potential US tariffs on the base metal.

London Metal Exchange (LME) copper futures climbed sharply in early trading, reflecting a combination of supply constraints, rising demand and uncertainty surrounding trade policy.

US President Donald Trump has ordered a probe into the national security implications of copper imports, raising concerns that a 25 percent tariff could be imposed, similar to levies already placed on aluminum and steel.

Kiribati Explores Deep-Sea Mining Deal with China Amid Global Regulatory Talks

Kiribati is reportedly in discussions with China to explore deep-sea mining opportunities, signaling a potential shift in its approach to tapping into its vast offshore mineral resources.

The Pacific island nation holds the exploration rights to a 75,000 square kilometer area in the Pacific Ocean, a region believed to contain valuable deposits of cobalt, nickel, and copper — key materials for the global battery industry.

The talks between Kiribati and Chinese officials come after the collapse of a previous agreement with the Metals Company (TMC) (NASDAQ:TMC), a Canada-based deep-sea mining outfit.
