Middle Island Resources (ASX:MDI) has confirmed significant copper anomalies at its 100%-owned Priboj Project in Serbia following infill soil and rock-chip sampling programs.
Large-scale copper-in-soil anomalies were identified at the Jelaca and Oglavak prospects, with the Jelaca area showing a +200 ppm copper zone extending approximately 900m by 400m and individual rock-chip samples grading up to 0.99% Cu.
The Oglavak prospect revealed a similar +200 ppm copper anomaly over 600m by 400m, with peak soil assay results of 5,876 ppm Cu.
Outcropping copper-mineralised pillow basalts at Jelaca further highlight the project's potential for volcanogenic massive sulphide-style deposits.
Middle Island plans to begin maiden drilling at Jelaca in Q2 2026, alongside additional soil sampling across the broader licence area, which has seen no prior historical exploration.
