Kula Gold Limited has initiated exploration at its new Wozi Niobium Project in Malawi, marking a strategic expansion into critical minerals. The field team is on-site to verify historical trenching results and extend the sampling area through detailed field mapping, rock-chip, and soil sampling. The goal is to outline the potential scale of surface niobium and tantalum mineralisation contained within pyrochlore in a nepheline syenite intrusive stock, setting the stage for a maiden drilling programme planned for the December 2025 quarter. The project is located approximately 225 kilometers north of Lilongwe, within an area comprising 5.52 square kilometers of igneous and metamorphic rocks from the Precambrian to lower Paleozoic basement. This region, positioned within the Mozambique Orogenic Belt in the Malawi Rift Valley System, is highly prospective due to the association with peralkaline intrusive-related mineralisation. Historical systematic trench sampling has indicated significant widths of mineralisation, and current work aims to confirm those results and further delineate the extent of the deposit. Managing Director Ric Dawson emphasized the increasing global interest in critical minerals and highlighted the project’s favorable proximity to other large niobium and rare earths ventures in Malawi. The Company’s low-cost exploration strategy, coupled with excellent road infrastructure for easy access, allows for swift project advancement. Dawson noted that early assays from trenching samples are expected this quarter, with follow-up drilling representing a key milestone for the Wozi project. While Kula Gold Limited continues to progress its flagship Mt Palmer Gold Project, the addition of the Wozi Niobium Project reflects its broader strategy to diversify into critical minerals. This move builds on a history of significant discoveries, including prior successes that have delivered substantial resource volumes, and reinforces the overall ambition of the Company to explore large land positions with the potential to host mega-sized deposits. Market sentiment around this development is mixed. On the bullish side, the project’s low exploration costs, robust technical indicators, and strategic location in a mineral-rich region may drive optimism, positioning the Company well to capitalize on the rising global demand for critical minerals. Conversely, some caution remains as historical exploration has not yet been followed by drilling, and the actual grade and extent of the deposit will only be confirmed with forthcoming assay results. Investors are advised to monitor for further updates as the programme progresses and key milestones are achieved.
