Shuka Minerals has commenced Phase 1 drilling at the No.2 orebody of its Kabwe zinc mine in Zambia, with the initial diamond drill hole planned at 65° angle. This drilling campaign could expand the known zinc resources at a time when base metals demand remains strong for industrial applications.

Australia-listed Terramin has secured land access and begun site preparation at its Tala Hamza zinc project in Algeria after resolving constraints with Algerian government agencies. This development advances a key zinc supply project, which matters to investors and supply chain analysts as zinc is essential for galvanizing steel and battery applications amid growing infrastructure and energy storage demands.
