(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Thursday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Kavango Resources PLC - London-based mineral explorer focused on Botswana - Decides to complete the holes in the current drill campaign at PL082/2018 using diamond drilling. Says that each hole will now first be drilled with a reverse circulation 'pre collar' and then completed with a diamond 'tail'. "A very high degree of resolution has been achieved with the inversions on the known folding in the belt, and has verified Kavango's hypotheses on variable wavelengths of the folds and brittle fault accommodations within the fold patterns to accommodate strain. The faults are postulated to have acted as conduits for mineralizing fluids, that could host deposits where they intersect the D'Kar / Ngwako Pan contact," Senior Geophysical Consultant Jeremy Brett comments.

AEW UK REIT PLC - London-based real estate investment trust for UK regional commercial property - Net asset value stands at 121.88 pence per share as at September 30, down from 126.50 pence per share as at June 30. Records a negative NAV total return of 2.1% for the quarter, from positive 6.5% a quarter prior. Attributable to the current volatile economic environment. Maintains its quarterly interim dividend of 2.00 pence per share.
