UNCERTAINTY

The company said that, based on technical data gathered from exploration including initial core review, it had intended to exercise the option today.

The extension follows uncertainty over the impact of recent changes to the Finance Act in Zimbabwe, and specifically the imposition of a mining ‘Special Capital Gains Tax’.

Kavango continues exploration and drilling at the project in Matabeleland in the south of the country.

Hillside comprises 40 contiguous gold claims and contains a historic high-grade underground mine.
