Kavango Resources sees huge upside at KSZ in Botswana

Kavango Resources is a mineral exploration company focused on Botswana. Kavango has been set up by an experienced team of geologists and a geophysicist with a history of exploration discoveries in southern Africa. The focus in Botswana is centred on three projects, which are prospective for copper, nickel and PGE metals.

Kavango Resources has unearthed what it said appears to be signs of copper mineralisation in pyroxenite at 651m from surface at its Kalahari Suture Zone (KSZ) exploration project in Botswana.

The hole, TA2DD002, is currently being drilled in the northern (Hukuntsi) section of the 100% owned KSZ project.

Ben Turney, Kavango’s chief executive, said: “We made immediate contact with ultramafic magmatic rocks and visible sulphides, as the Proterozoic was intersected at 651m.

“The presence of chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) is an indicator of further potential mineralisation in the system, though quantities and grades are yet to be determined.

() () said it has been awarded two new prospecting licences on its flagship copper-nickel-PGM Kalahari Suture Zone (KSZ) project in Botswana.

“With the award of 1,258km2 of new prospecting licences and working capital over GBP3million, Kavango is well-positioned to take full advantage of its strategic hold over this highly prospective region,” said chief executive Ben Turney.

() () said it decided to expand the current drilling campaign at its Kalahari Suture Zone (KSZ) project in Botswana after the first drill hole was completed on the Hukuntsi (northern) section.

It has engaged Equity Drilling & Mindea Exploration and Drilling Services (Pty) to drill up to six holes in the KSZ.

It’s hard to understate just how valuable the prize that () is chasing at the Kalahari Suture Zone project could be.

If the geological interpretation that the company has put together is right – and the data to support the interpretation is extensive – then the KSZ could turn out to be a mineralised orebody of a kind seen only rarely in the world, at sites like Voisey’s Bay, Norilsk and Jinchuan.

These licences are on its flagship copper-nickel-PGM project in Botswana, at 1,258km2.

Chief executive Turney says these licenses along with working capital over GBP3million mean they are well-positioned to take full advantage of its strategic hold over this highly prospective region.
