An update from Edenville Energy ( (GB:SKA) ) is now available.

Shuka Minerals has reported encouraging field sampling results from the Kabwe Zinc Mine, where nine near-surface samples showed consistently high zinc and lead grades, with zinc values reaching up to 36.13% and lead up to 9.63%, alongside tungsten mineralisation. These grades compare favourably with historical averages and indicate substantial high-grade material at surface, which is expected to support metallurgical testing and inform future plant design.

The samples will now be sent to an independent ALS laboratory in Ndola for verification and broader multi-element analysis, including silver, vanadium, germanium and gallium. Management said the results underpin the company’s newly launched exploration programme at Kabwe, funded by a recent capital raise and the mine’s acquisition earlier in the quarter, and mark an important step as Shuka ramps up operational activity at the site.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SKA) stock is a Hold with a £3.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Edenville Energy stock, see the GB:SKA Stock Forecast page.
