Episode Details

Rome Resources is acquiring extensive new acreage in New Brunswick in an area known to be prospective, but which has had very little work done on it in the modern era. Some historic samples show tin grading up to around 1.4%. The geology looks encouraging, according to Rome's chief executive Paul Barrett. He emphasizes that Rome's main focus will remain on its assets in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where drilling is ongoing and a new resource is expected in the coming months. Nevertheless, this new ground points to a longer-term trajectory for the company, and indicates where its focus might end up if a transaction takes place on the DRC assets
