Fortuna continues to define a rapidly expanding rutile system at its Mkanda Project, with results now outlining a mineralised footprint exceeding 25km², open in multiple directions.
Key Highlights
- Multiple large, coherent high-grade rutile anomalies, with 36 of 96 new assays grading >1.0% rutile
- Standout surface results include 2m @ 1.78%, 1.70%, and 1.61% rutile from 0m
- Three broad mineralised zones identified, each extending 5–10km in strike, open at depth and laterally
- High-grade mineralisation confirmed from surface, with full-hole (8–10m) assays now prioritised
- High-grade zones to be infilled on a 200m x 200m grid during the 2026 drill program
- Assays from 534 remaining hand auger holes expected progressively through Q1 2026
- Review underway for heavy rare earth, monazite and zircon potential, following Sovereign Metals’ Kasiya discoveries just 20km north
- Malawi Mining Ministry confirms export ban does not apply to Fortuna’s in-country beneficiation strategy
With scale, grade and regulatory clarity now emerging together, Mkanda is shaping up as a significant new rutile discovery in one of the world’s premier rutile districts.
