Eastport Critical Metals (OTCQB: EVIIF) reported initial Phase II soil geochemistry and geophysics results from its Selebi-East nickel-copper-PGE project in northeast Botswana. Multi‑kilometre nickel-copper soil anomalies closely follow mapped amphibolite units, the same host rock type as at NexMetals’ nearby Selebi Mine, about 7 km away.
The Phase II program expanded soil grids and ran electromagnetic and gravity surveys over five prospecting licences. Strong Ni-Cu soil responses were confirmed on PL003, consistent with prior work on PL002 and PL004. Results from PL2183 are pending, PL001 showed limited Ni-Cu anomalies, and initial EM test lines on PL002 and PL004 were inconclusive, prompting plans for deeper time‑domain EM surveys.
Eastport Critical Metals (TSXV: EVI, OTCQB: EVIIF) reported Phase 1 step-out diamond drilling results at the Matsitama Copper Project in Botswana. Three holes at Nak-East, about five kilometres east of Nak-Main, intersected thick copper mineralisation, including 97.4 m @ 1,185 ppm Cu from 64.9 m and 122.4 m @ 1,118 ppm Cu from 85.0 m downhole.
Two holes at Nak-West, roughly three kilometres west of Nak-Main, also returned mineralised intervals, such as 10.7 m @ 1,527 ppm Cu and 5.5 m @ 2,429 ppm Cu. Mineralisation in all five holes aligns with key structural features, suggesting a potentially mineralised strike of about 10 km, subject to future infill drilling. Eastport also reiterated the non-current historical Nakalakwana resource of 9.9 Mt at 4,640 ppm Cu under the 2007 SAMREC Code.
Eastport Critical Metals (OTCQB: EVIIF) reported Phase One infill drilling results from the NAK‑Main zone at its flagship Matsitama Copper Project in Botswana. Five of six diamond drill holes intersected a thick copper‑rich zone, with three holes returning more than 100 m of Cu mineralisation.
Key intercepts include 109.6 m @ 3,002 ppm Cu from 16.0 m (NAKDD25‑007), including 54.2 m @ 4,690 ppm Cu and 14.1 m @ 7,192 ppm Cu, plus 100.6 m @ 2,394 ppm Cu from 142.7 m (NAKDD25‑004). One hole (NAKDD25‑008) was mineralised over 28.2 m but averaged below 1,000 ppm Cu.
The drilling aims to validate a 2013 SRK historical Nakalakwana estimate of 9.9 Mt at 4,640 ppm Cu (Indicated and Inferred, SAMREC 2007), which Eastport and its Qualified Person do not treat as a current NI 43‑101 resource. Matsitama covers six licences over about 1,845 km² with more than 20 copper prospects identified.
Eastport Critical Metals (OTCQB:EVIIF) will sponsor and attend the Future of Mining Summit 2026 in Gaborone, Botswana, on June 29–30, 2026. The company will host a booth with its executive team, including Managing Director Dr. Gomotsang Tshoso and incoming CEO Daniel Major.
Eastport Critical Metals (OTCQB:EVIIF, TSXV:EVI) appointed Daniel Major as Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2026. Co-founder Burns Singh Tennent-Bhohi becomes Executive Chairman and David Minchin becomes Co-Chair.
Eastport also granted 500,000 CEO options and 1,200,000 incentive stock options, all exercisable at a 20% premium to the five-day VWAP and expiring in five years, with specified vesting schedules and resale restrictions.
Eastport Critical Metals (OTCQB:EVIIF, TSXV:EVI) reported additional assay results from Fence 2 at the Foley uranium project in Botswana. Drilling has confirmed shallow uranium mineralisation across two parallel fences, ~400 m apart, each with over 1.4 km strike, 350–750 m north of Lotus Resources’ Letlhakane deposit.
Fence 2 highlights include: RC012: 3.0 m @ 284.7 ppm U3O8 from 84.0 m; RC013: 2.0 m @ 260.5 ppm from 100.0 m; RC016: 6.0 m @ 363.4 ppm from 60.0 m including 1.0 m @ 1,319 ppm; RC018: three 1.0 m intervals between 49.0–58.0 m ranging 325.0–530.0 ppm.
According to Eastport, these results, obtained via SGS’s pressed pellet XRF technique with QA/QC controls, support a Letlhakane-style paleo-channel uranium system in Karoo sediments that remains open along strike and down-dip.
Eastport Critical Metals (OTCQB:EVIIF) reported a second batch of assay results from its Foley Uranium Project RC program in Botswana, completing Fence 1.
Mineralisation above 200 ppm U3O8 extends over a 1.4 km strike, remains open in multiple directions, and includes intercepts up to 2,333 ppm U3O8.
Eastport Critical Metals (OTCQB:EVIIF) reported first assay results from Phase 1 RC drilling at the Foley Uranium Project in Botswana. Uranium mineralization (>200 ppm U3O8) was intersected in 6 of the first 10 holes over a 1.4 km strike.
Highlights include 8.0 m @ 553 ppm U3O8 (incl. 2.0 m @ 1,272 ppm) in hole RC006, 6.0 m @ 500.7 ppm (incl. 3.0 m @ 806 ppm) in RC003, and 1.0 m @ 2,333 ppm in RC005. The drill fence lies ~350 m north of Lotus Resources' Letlhakane uranium deposit. Mineralization is hosted in Karoo Supergroup sediments in a paleo-channel setting and remains open along strike and down-dip.
Eastport Critical Metals (OTCQB: EVIIF, TSXV: EVI) reports operational progress in Botswana since its TSX-V listing on 20 Nov 2025. Highlights include >4,000m of drilling at the Matsitama copper project, >2,000m RC at Foley uranium, ongoing diamond drilling at Semarule REE, completion of a strategic financing, and a US OTCQB secondary listing.
Key near-term actions: NAK assay results and pit optimisation (Q2–Q3), gravity/EM surveys for Copper-Cobra, Foley assay reporting (Q2) and Phase 2 uranium drilling, and Semarule assay and mineral studies (Q3–Q4).
