Kavango Resources plc announced the Company has commenced drilling its first high priority targets at the Karakubis Copper Project in Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt ("KCB"). Kavango has identified 15 high priority targets for its first phase of drilling. Drill holes have been designed to check favourable trap sites modelled from geophysical data, confirm stratigraphy, and assess the potential to host large scale copper-silver mineralisation.

Kavango's high priority targets are all located above interpreted, doubly-plunging fold structures over gravity highs where associated faulting is thought to be favourable for trap site development. The Company's first phase of drilling, totalling approximately 5,000 m, will test relatively shallow targets between 150 m and 350 m below surface. Kavango's contract driller, Mitchell Drilling, is set up on site and prepared to begin drilling this week.

Further priority targets are anticipated as data processing and interpretation are completed for survey results from Survey Blocks 1A and 1B. The exploration and drilling strategy at Karakubis aims to validate the interpretations made to date by establishing the stratigraphic position, verifying the presence of structural trap sites and proving the presence of a copper/silver mineralising system through identification of path finder minerals. Further work will be undertaken based upon interpretation of the results.
