Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The JDE DRC SARL completed the airborne geophysical survey over two mining licences in the DRC: namely the Manono Pegmatite Mine and the Kalongo Lithium Mine. <\/a>The initiative underscores the group\u2019s strategic intent to deploy advanced exploration technology and to move from surface reconnaissance into deep-target generation in one of Africa\u2019s most prospective critical-minerals provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Background & Rationale<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

JDE Group is positioning itself as a turnkey exploration provider in the region, offering everything from airborne surveys to drilling campaigns. For the Manono and Kalongo assets, the rationale is two-fold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Depth-extension of known pegmatite systems<\/strong> \u2013 The Manono area has historic and recent lithium-tantalum pegmatite activity; an airborne survey helps delineate deeper structures and repeat zones.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Efficient target generation in challenging terrain<\/strong> \u2013 Airborne geophysical methods allow rapid coverage over large tracts, reducing time and cost compared to wholly ground-based campaigns (especially where access is difficult).

    Technical Approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The survey uses advanced airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and\/or passive magneto-telluric (MT) style technology \u2014 referenced by JDE as #MobileMT. Key features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
