Iv been doing abit of reading on other companies on the KCB with assets at similar stages as ours, to really see if the lack of copper in the first couple of drills really is that big of a deal as the market seems to think. Example Kalahari Metals/cobra/ metal tiger
Long winded but from July RNS this year.clearly states that it was successful to have found the formation that copper may occur at and not the copper itself, and the primary objective of the drilling was to do just that.
"The drilling programme at the Kitlanya East (“KIT-E”) Project is ongoing, with a total of 1,742m completed to date, consisting 839m of reverse circulation (“RC”) and 903m of diamond core drilling (drilling commencement announced 11 May 2021).
Interpretation of important new geophysical data for Kit-W, along with existing soil sampling and ongoing diamond drilling results, has further prioritised target areas with a high potential for hosting Cu-Ag mineralisation. The work to date shows evidence for a variety of potential deposition styles and mineralisation trap sites. The scale and distribution of anomalies within the KIT-W licence area, combined with evidence of prospective sub-basins, enhances the potential for the project to deliver new copper-silver discoveries.

Kit-W Exploration Highlights
Airborne gravity geophysics survey has mapped out an east-northeast (“ENE”) trending gravity low, likely related to the development of a deeper sub-basin in the lower Kalahari Copper Belt (“KCB”) basin, the margins of which are considered prospective sites for Cu-Ag mineralisation.High-resolution magnetic geophysics data clearly maps out fold targets in the D’Kar Formation (“DKF”) correlating with, and adding further support for, existing AEM targets.Interpretation of magnetic data further suggests that much of the previously interpreted Ngwako Pan Formation (“NPF”) is covered with thin DKF – this would open the possibility for shallow, relatively flat lying mineralisation along the redox1 contact between these formations.Updated interpretation is further supported by regional soil sampling traverses with both Cu and Zn anomalies correlating with the position of the interpreted redox contact between the DKF and NPF.Initial results from the Kit-W diamond drilling confirm the existence of DKF in the fold structures mapped in the AEM modelling.
Michael McNeilly, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger, commented:
“We are very pleased to provide details of important advances being made in defining potential copper-silver deposition sites in the Kitlanya West Project on the Kalahari Copper Belt"
