Located in Västerbotten County in northern Sweden, Tertiary Minerals' Storuman Fluorspar Project stands at the precipice of a transformation that few could have anticipated just two months ago.
For ten long years, this 27.7Mt fluorspar deposit has been in a permitting paralysis → caught between the competing claims of industrial development and indigenous land rights.
Notably, the project's history reads like a bureaucratic tragedy, a cycle of grants granted, then revoked, then reinstated on appeal, only to be refused once more.
The Mining Inspectorate of Sweden (Bergsstaten) initially granted an exploitation permit for the project in 2016, offering a glimmer of hope that appeared to vindicate years of patient development work. However, that hope proved short lived.
Between 2019 and 2023, the Inspectorate executed a dramatic reversal, overturning its own grant, only to have that refusal annulled by the Swedish Government on appeal, with instructions to re-examine the case.
The saga continued its tortuous path in September 2024 when the Mining Inspectorate refused the permit once again, this time with the County Administrative Board of Västerbotten adding its voice to the chorus of opposition.
At the heart of these repeated rejections lies a fundamental conflict with Sámi reindeer herding, an activity recognised as a national interest in the region.
The County Administrative Board made its position unequivocally clear, stating that the proposed mine would collide with reindeer herding operations, with particular concerns raised about plans for a large ‘sand storage’ facility that would disrupt traditional migration routes and grazing patterns.

As the legendary investor Howard Marks once observed, "The most important thing about investing is understanding the difference between what is going to happen and what the market has already priced in."
For those paying attention to the Swedish political landscape, the writing has been on the wall for some time, and the signs pointing towards a fundamental recalibration of the nation's mining policy have been impossible to ignore for the perceptive observer.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞:
What has transpired throughout 2026 represents nothing less than a legislative earthquake, a coordinated assault on the very policy framework that had, for so long, strangled northern Sweden's mining potential.
The transformation has been breathtaking in both its scope and its speed:
𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: This marked the first tremor when the Riksdag voted decisively to lift the ban on uranium extraction that had been in place since 2018; removing a significant barrier to comprehensive mineral development across the country.
𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟎𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔:The Swedish Government unveiled its most controversial proposal yet; a plan to scrap reindeer protections in a move explicitly aimed at opening up the country's north to mining and nuclear power. This multi-pronged initiative included three transformative components:
First, the removal of reindeer herding's 'national interest' status, scrapping the designation that had required planning authorities to prioritise the impact on reindeer grazing and migration when making land use decisions.
Second, a radical proposal to reduce herd sizes, with the government arguing that this represented the most effective way of mitigating conflicts between herding and other industries like mining, forestry, and energy.
Third, a fundamental restructuring of land governance that would see the state regain responsibility for mountain lands, allowing it to weigh reindeer herding against other interests such as jobs and infrastructure development.
𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: Another hammer-blow to the old order was delivered when the Riksdag voted to abolish the municipal veto on mining, stripping local governments of their power to block projects that had previously been held hostage to parochial interests.
𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟏𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: The Riksdag approved the government's proposal to amend the Environmental Code, paving the way for the dramatic opening of the country's north to mining and nuclear power development.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟐𝟑, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: This will be remembered as the watershed moment in this extraordinary legislative cascade. The Swedish Government announced that mining critical metals and rare earth minerals now constitutes a National Security Interest.
This was far more than a rhetorical flourish; it represented a strategic and legal masterstroke designed to adopt the aforementioned amendments into Swedish law in a manner that would, in effect, strip the Mining Inspectorate of its constitutional powers to veto the Swedish Government, and by extension the European Union.
Under this new framework, the Government will possess the final say on mining permits, enabling faster planning and permitting through streamlined authorisation procedures.
Land in northern Sweden will be assigned for mining purposes, and crucially, the indigenous Sámi community will receive adequate compensation through a new 'Local Value Sharing' directive that fundamentally reshapes the relationship between extractive industries and traditional land users.
3️⃣𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐔 𝐃𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
The July 23, 2026 declaration carries significance that extends far beyond Sweden's borders.
It is explicitly framed as the implementation of the European Union's broader strategy to reduce reliance on critical mineral imports from China, a strategic imperative that has gained urgency with each passing year.
The Per Geijer deposit near Kiruna has already been designated an EU flagship project under the Critical Raw Materials Act, creating a policy cascade where EU level strategic designation feeds into national level prioritisation, which in turn feeds into accelerated permitting at the local level.
Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch offered a remarkably candid assessment during the announcement of the declaration, acknowledging that the government had previously lacked the concrete tools to wisely contribute to accelerating and attracting investments in crucial strategic projects.
The new legislation now provides precisely those tools, giving the Swedish Government, and by extension the European Union, the capacity to accelerate and attract investments in projects deemed strategically vital.
4️⃣𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
The combined effect of the European Union's growing frustration with Sweden's historical risk-averse approach to mining in the north, and the subsequent move to secure full implementation of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act, represents a substantial structural shift rather than a marginal improvement.
This is not merely a change in policy; it is a fundamental reshaping of the operating environment for mining projects like Storuman.
Of particular importance in the new Critical Minerals Strategy is the introduction of the 'Local Value Sharing' initiative, which directly addresses the underlying tension that has long defined the Storuman project.
By introducing benefit sharing mechanisms, the government creates a framework where Sámi communities are no longer positioned solely as obstacles to be overridden, but as stakeholders with a tangible interest in project development.
A compensation framework that delivers meaningful economic benefits changes the calculus from “what do we lose?” to “what do we gain?”.
Research has long identified a regulatory gap where Sámi communities have limited ability to influence the permitting of a mining concession and where compensation is negotiated without full knowledge of the impacts on Sami rights.
The Local Value Sharing initiative is explicitly designed to close this gap by creating a structured, transparent framework for benefit distribution.
Chiefly, the initiative moves towards a model that some experts describe as co-produced, involving locals in the production process, and even co-owned, shared ownership and control of projects.
This represents a significant step-change from the current model where Sámi villages only receive administration compensation for work plans.

The Storuman Fluorspar project is no longer dependent on the goodwill or efficiency of a Mining Inspectorate that repeatedly reversed its own decisions.
It now sits at the intersection of EU strategic autonomy policy and Swedish national security imperatives; a position that fundamentally changes its dynamics from a decade of paralysis to a potentially accelerated development trajectory.

Thus, for the first time since 2014, Storuman has a fighting chance of succeeding.
6️⃣𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞
For investors in Tertiary Minerals (TYM), the wholly owned Storuman Fluorspar Project represents free optionality with tremendous upside potential.
The project's current NPV is estimated at US$210 million, a figure that stands in stark contrast to the company’s current market capitalisation of ~£5 million.
This dramatic valuation gap reflects the market's historical scepticism about the project's permitting prospects, a scepticism that the events of 2026 have systematically undermined.
Thus, the structural shift in Sweden's policy framework creates a fundamentally different risk-reward profile for Storuman.
Notably, fluorspar represents a more profound strategic vulnerability for the West than rare earths. Why? China mines ~69% of the world's fluorspar, and more critically, controls the entire downstream chain.
European car makers, tech firms producing and utilising semiconductors, steel makers, defence firms, and companies involved in nuclear fuel processing all require the critical mineral to function.

Both the European Union and the Swedish Government are aware of this.
And with the 27.7Mt, high-grade, Storuman Fluorspar Project being one of the largest undeveloped deposits in Europe, it would be utter folly for the project to remain paralysed in the current geopolitical climate.
Thus, investors who recognise the writing on the wall and position themselves ahead of the value catalyst materialising stand to benefit from what could be one of the most significant re-ratings in the junior mining sector.

For those unaware, just weeks ago, 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭, a specialist research platform for global affairs, published an incredible but frank analysis on fluorspar, and that has since become essential reading for anyone tracking the critical minerals space.
https://t.co/mmif4wPIhm
The article’s opening line is powerful:
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬."
By way of background, China produced 6 million metric tons of calcium fluoride ore in 2024, roughly 69% of global mine output, and dominates every downstream process that anchors semiconductors, EV batteries, nuclear fuel processing and F-35 coatings.
The article then goes on to state, unequivocally, that:
“𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭, 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐨��𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬, 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲-𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞.”
1️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞'𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬
The article's core argument is that fluorspar represents a more profound strategic vulnerability for the West than rare earths. It builds this case on several key pillars:
✅ Extreme Supply Concentration: China mines roughly 69% of the world's fluorspar, and more critically, controls the entire downstream chain.
✅ A Worse Problem than Rare Earths: The article argues that, while the West lost the processing know-how for rare earths, the fluorine problem is much more serious because China holds the entire value chain. This makes it harder and more expensive to build an alternative supply chain from scratch.
✅ A Loaded but Unused Weapon: The article frames fluorspar as a "not yet weaponised" resource, making it the "largest remaining critical mineral where China holds both the mine and the molecule". It is a strategic lever Beijing has kept in reserve; an unused round in the chamber.
✅ Vulnerability of Key Industries: The article explicitly connects this dependency to the European car makers dependent on Chinese LiPF₆, tech firms producing and utilising semiconductors, steel makers, defence firms, and companies involved in nuclear fuel processing.

2️⃣ 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧
The article's thesis arrives at a moment of maximum policy alignment with Sweden and the EU's strategic agenda. Here’s how it changes the game for Storuman.
✅ The National Security Imperative: The article's warning that fluorspar is a "chokepoint in the energy-security race" is now official Swedish policy.
On July 23, 2026, Sweden declared the mining of critical minerals a matter of national security interest thereby overhauling its critical mineral strategy. Energy Minister Ebba Busch explicitly linked this to "NATO's defence capabilities" and called Europe's dependence on China a "systemic risk".
Fluorspar, as a mineral essential for defence and high-tech industries, is now firmly within this security framework. The project is no longer just a commercial venture but a STRATEGIC ASSET.
✅ The EU's Regulatory Hammer: The article's scenario of a weaponised fluorspar supply chain is precisely what the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) was designed to prevent.
3️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞
The article's central thesis, that fluorspar is a critical and dangerous chokepoint controlled by China, is not just an abstract warning. It is the strategic rationale that is now driving concrete policy actions in both Sweden and the EU.
Crucially, the combination of Storuman's status as a "deposit of National Interest", the 27.7Mt high-grade resource, the EU's regulatory deadlines under the CRMA, and the Swedish government's new willingness to use state power to permit strategic projects, creates an unprecedented alignment of factors.

🚨 𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐒: 𝐋𝐄𝐓'𝐒 𝐆𝐎! #TYM#SILVER
Let's begin with the arithmetic that should stop any resource investor in their tracks.
On 16th December 2025, Tertiary Minerals (TYM) announced its intention to produce a JORC Exploration Target for Target A1.
By February 2026, the drill results were in, and they were spectacular:
✅ 𝟗𝟕 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝟖𝟓 𝐠/𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝟏.𝟒𝟐% 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭) 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟔 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐡.

The managing director called it the "best intersection of silver-copper mineralisation" on the project.
On 30th March 2026, TYM published a JORC-compliant Exploration Target for its flagship Target A1 silver oxide discovery in Zambia:
𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝟏𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟑𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝟒𝟎-𝟔𝟎 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭!
At the upper end of that range, the target implies up to 58 million ounces of silver equivalent → a figure that, at current silver prices above US$30 per ounce, represents an in-situ resource value north of 𝐔𝐒$𝟏.𝟕 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 (£𝟏.𝟐𝟔 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧).
Now compare that with the company's current market cap of ~£4.8 million.
𝐎𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬.
The company's own managing director, Richard Belcher, is refreshingly transparent about that.
The current drilling campaign is precisely intended to convert that target into a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate by Q4 2026, with drilling, metallurgical testwork and infill programmes all funded by the recent raise.

What makes Target A1 genuinely interesting is not just the headline numbers but the geology beneath them.
The prospect sits within the 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐚 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭, in the prospective Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold region of Zambia.
Drilling to date, some 3,083 metres, has already confirmed copper, silver and zinc mineralisation over an area approximately 450 metres by 400 metres, extending to a vertical depth of 84 metres.
Crucially, the mineralisation remains open to the north, south and at depth.
The intercepts that have the geologists excited are genuinely impressive;
✅ 58 metres at 49 g/t silver.
✅ 0.26% copper and 0.16% zinc from just 8 metres downhole; equivalent to 72 g/t silver equivalent or 0.94% copper equivalent.
✅ 124 g/t silver, 0.73% copper and 0.25% zinc, representing 185 g/t silver equivalent or 2.40% copper equivalent.
Those are not the numbers of a fringe prospect.

The mineralisation is near-surface, predominantly oxide in character (malachite, chrysocolla, cuprite), with native silver and native copper also observed.
That oxide nature is significant for two reasons: it suggests potentially lower capital costs for any future development, and it makes the metallurgical testwork now underway all the more critical.
2️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨: 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
While Target A1 is the headline act, TYM’s portfolio contains several other levers that investors should note. Here are the most valuable assets:
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐨𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐚 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭(𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐚) → under joint venture with KoBold Metals; the Bill Gates-backed AI-driven exploration company which has completed two drill holes totalling 2,000 metres and elected to advance to Stage 2.
KoBold now has a 51% interest in the project, with TYM retaining 39%. The transfer is ongoing.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐤𝐚𝐢 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭(𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐚) → under a due diligence agreement with First Quantum Minerals, which has extended its evaluation period by 12 months to August 2027.
The original agreement required First Quantum to spend a minimum of US$1.5 million in exploration expenditure over 24 months, with the first year commitment of US$500,000 already met.
𝐈𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐚(𝐔𝐒𝐀), the company holds four drill-ready projects: Brunton Pass Copper-Gold, Paymaster Base & Precious Metals, Mt Tobin Silver-Gold, and Lucky Copper. These are earlier stage than the Zambian assets but provide additional optionality and geographic diversification.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭(𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧) → a legacy asset that could become increasingly valuable given the European Union's designation of fluorspar as a critical raw material.
For the investor focused on Target A1, the aforementioned assets represent free optionality → potential catalysts that could emerge without requiring additional capital outlay from the company's existing shareholders.
3️⃣ 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐘𝐌 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡?
Valuing a pre-resource exploration company is necessarily an exercise in scenario analysis rather than precise calculation. But the numbers are sufficiently striking to demand attention.
As of 16 July 2026, TYM had 7,124,355,727 ordinary shares in issue, with none held in treasury. At the current share price of 0.0675p, this gives a market capitalisation of ~£4.8 million.
𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝟏: 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧(𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞)
If the maiden resource confirms even the lower end of the target range (15Mt @ 40g/t Ag Eq), the in-situ value remains substantial at ~US$570 million.
Even applying a 90% discount for development costs, jurisdiction risk, and dilution, the project value would be ~£43 million. This implies a fair value per share of approximately 𝟎.𝟔𝐩(𝟗𝐱 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞).
𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝟐: 𝐔𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧(𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞)
If the upper end is confirmed (30Mt @ 60g/t Ag Eq), the in-situ value of ~US$1.7 billion becomes the reference point.
Applying a 90% discount yields a project value of ~£126 million. This implies a fair value per share of approximately 𝟏.𝟕𝟕𝐩 (𝟐𝟔𝐱 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞).

The company's assets at Konkola West and Mukai represent free embedded options not captured in the Target A1 valuation. In a trade sale scenario, these partnership interests would attract additional premium.
Thus, the current share price of 0.0675p implies that the market is ascribing essentially ZERO value to the company's considerable exploration success.
Even the most conservative scenario-based valuation suggests material upside exists if the maiden resource confirms the exploration target.

No analysis of TYM would be complete without a clear-eyed assessment of the risks.
𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤: Zambia is stable by African standards and mining-friendly, but no developing country is without political risk. Changes in mining codes, tax regimes or royalty structures could materially impact project economics.
𝐋𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤: As an AIM-listed junior with a market cap under £4 million, the shares are illiquid. Large positions cannot be built or exited without moving the price. The average daily volume in the three months to May 2026 was 75 million shares

TYM represents one of the most compelling risk-reward profiles on the AIM market.
The company has assembled a portfolio of high-quality Zambian copper-silver assets, partnered with industry giants (KoBold Metals, First Quantum Minerals), and is now drilling some of the most impressive intercepts seen in the region.

KoBold has already invested heavily in the Konkola West project, and First Quantum is strongly motivated to find additional ore feed for its Sentinel processing plant.

For investors with the appetite for risk, and the patience to see the story unfold, the arithmetic is seductive.
The results from the current drilling campaign, when they arrive, will likely validate what the previous campaigns have indicated → that TYM has discovered something significant.

Putting Target A1 in context:
Using a 64:1 Ag:Au ratio → ~300,000 – 900,000 oz AuEq at 0.63–0.94 g/t AuEq
Standalone silver oxide deposits are far less common than oxide gold.
This is a significant discovery.
