Tunya Mining is a precious, base metal and agri mineral explorer in Zambia. Under a joint venture with Zambia Gold Mines Limited, it holds three Prospecting Licenses in the central-south of the country covering approximately 2500 sq km in total area.   Fieldwork to date has focused on stream sediment, rock chip and geochemical sampling in these licenses, principally in the search for gold.  To date, over 1250 stream samples have been collected, supplemented by approximately 90 rock samples and 270 closely-spaced geochemical samples in an area of elevated interest.

In addition to a historically worked gold and bismuth mine, the southern most license contains four mapped carbonatites which have seen limited exploration and have significant potential for phosphate, uranium, zircon, rare earths and gold.  At least one of the carbonatites has a strongly developed laterite profile similar to the concentrating mechanism for several metallic elements exhibited by similar Brazilian occurrences.

Exploration plans include detailed mapping and sampling of the four carbonatites as well as sampling the streams draining these bodies to establish potential for economic mineralisation.
