Rome Resources to halt operations near Alphamin’s Bisie tin mine

LONDON - Rome Resources Plc (AIM: RMR), a tin and base metals explorer focused on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has announced the completion of its drilling program at the Mont Agoma prospect, located near Alphamin Resources Corp.’s Bisie tin mine. Following the completion of drilling activities, Rome Resources is preparing to temporarily cease operations in the area in response to security concerns stemming from the advancement of insurgent groups in the region.

The company’s Bisie North Tin project, situated approximately 8 kilometers from Alphamin’s mine in the Walikale District of North Kivu Province, has been affected by regional instability. Alphamin earlier today disclosed its decision to temporarily suspend mining operations at the Bisie tin mine due to the security situation.

Rome Resources has completed drilling on holes MADD024 and MADD026 and is now awaiting the maiden inferred mineral resources estimate. In the interim, the company is in the process of relocating all personnel to Kisangani and will cease operational activity near the mine site following the planned drilling program.

The company has indicated that it will provide an update on the recent drilling results in the near future. This development comes amid heightened security concerns in the area, which have impacted mining operations and could have implications for the tin market, given the region’s significant contribution to global tin supply.
