Kavango begins drilling Karakubis

Kavango Resources plc has begun drilling the first 15 high priority targets at the Karakubis project in Botswana’s Kalahari copper belt.

The drill holes, identified earlier this month, will check favourable “trap sites” and assess the potential for large scale copper-silver mineralisation.

The company said that the 5,000 metre programme would test relatively shallow targets between 150m and 350m below surface.

Further priority targets will be identified as data processing and interpretation complete for survey results from survey blocks 1A and 1B.

Kavango’s contract driller is Mitchell Drilling.

Chief executive Ben Turney added that the drill campaign was Kavango’s most sophisticated to date.

“We’ve assembled a wide ranging and comprehensive data set over Karakubis.

“We’ve then compared the results of this with what is known about major discoveries elsewhere on the Kalahari copper belt.

“Finally, we believe we’ve identified the correct regional structures and trap sites for large-scale copper/silver deposits.

“Our immediate objective now is to test these probable trap sites and prove that copper mineralising fluids passed through our ground.

“If we can achieve this it will be a transformational event for Kavango’s shareholders.”
