Midnight Sun Mining Corp. has commenced its Phase Two exploration program at the Solwezi Copper Project’s flagship Dumbwa copper deposit in Zambia, shifting from systematic evaluation to targeted exploration following nearly 75,000 metres of prior drilling.

The Phase Two program integrates high-resolution ground magnetics, dipole-dipole induced polarization geophysics, soil geochemistry, and targeted diamond drilling to expand known mineralization and test higher-grade zones. Midnight Sun expects to complete Phase One drilling by the end of Q3 2026, while concurrently expanding its ground magnetic survey to cover the full approximately 20-kilometre copper-in-soil anomaly.

“Phase One has given us the tools and geological understanding to test Dumbwa at a level of precision that simply wasn’t possible when the program began. We are seeing distinct zones of enhanced copper mineralization along the main corridor, including areas of higher grade, and our new magnetic survey is identifying positive geological signatures beyond the areas we have previously tested.”

— Kevin Bonel, COO

Midnight Sun commenced Phase One exploration at Dumbwa on August 6, 2025, conducting systematic fence drilling, IP geophysics, and soil sampling.
