@SwitchMetals completion of its pitting and soil sampling programme on the second Mineral Resources Estimate target area of #SWC 100% owned Badinikro Issia Project. 156 resource pits were successfully dug, sampled, mapped, transported and stored ready for further analysis.
Karl Akueson, CEO of Switch Metals, commented:
“We continue to be pleased with progress at Issia, with the addition and completion of pitting and sampling on this second target area being another major step. We have come a long way since the start of our first tantalum resource definition programme in May this year, being sufficiently encouraged to expand the initial programme to include the MRE 2 target area.

@SwitchMetals with its April 2025 listing on London’s AIM market and is headquartered in Côte d’Ivoire, where Karl has lived and worked for the past ten years. #SWT holds the largest land package in the country targeting tantalum, a rare and valuable metal critical to electronics, defense, aerospace, and alloy industries. While the portfolio also includes pegmatite licenses with lithium potential, tantalum remains the core focus.
The flagship asset is the ISIA project, where Switch Metals is advancing exploration rapidly. The company’s mission is to progress from explorer to producer within two to three years, aiming to generate early cash flow and establish a solid foundation for further growth.
