Kula Gold (ASX: KGD) is expanding its global footprint with exploration commencing at the Wozi niobium project in Malawi. Kula Gold is an exploration company focused on discovering and developing high-value mineral resources. The company holds a portfolio of exploration projects across Western Australia and, now, Malawi, targeting gold, nickel, and critical minerals.
The Malawian asset was added to Kula’s portfolio earlier this month after the local government granted the licence at Wozi. The company aims to confirm historical niobium and tantalum trenching results and expand the sampling area. The exploration program will include field mapping, rock-chip sampling, and soil testing across the tenement. Managing director Ric Dawson said the work would advance plans for a maiden drilling program in the December 2025 quarter and assess potential for further Malawi tenements.
The Wozi project is located 225 kilometres north of Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi. The nearby M1 highway provides access to Lilongwe, Mzuzu, and the Nacala Rail Corridor, facilitating transport to the east African coast. Previous work at Wozi confirmed surface niobium and tantalum mineralisation, with historical trenching indicating significant widths of niobium.
Kula Gold also aims to follow up on recent exploration successes in Western Australia. Drilling programs at the Mt Palmer and Kirup projects during the previous quarter yielded high-grade gold hits, including 18m at 4.4 grams per tonne gold at Mt Palmer. Encouraging results were also obtained at Kirup’s Mustang prospect with support from the WA government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme.
