Kavango’s three projects in Botswana offer an excellent diverse potential for the discovery of nickel-copper-PGE, copper-silver and rare earth deposits. Listed on the Main Board of the London Stock Exchange (Standard List) - (KAV.L)

The Kalahari Suture Zone (KSZ) Project, a 450km long N-S magnetic structure of continental proportions, is a large scale nickel, copper, cobalt and PGE group
exploration project in the southwest of the country. It is similar in its geological
setting to the giant Norilsk deposits in Siberia. Kavango recently completed two phases of airborne electromagnetic surveys covering over 4,000 line-kms in the northern part of the KSZ. Numerous conductor anomalies were identified and located on the ground; drilling of the most prospective targets is planned for late Q3 / early Q4 2019

The Ditau Camp Project (Ditau) is a 7km long magnetic body with corresponding geochemical and gravity anomalies approx. 50km west of the KSZ structure. It is one of 10 significant ring structures in the two Ditau licences. Two recent drill holes and the discovery by Falconbridge of a carbonatite in the area indicate a large area of alkali intrusive bodies. Carbonatites are generally associated with rare earth minerals. Whilst the Company continues to add value to the project with some low cost (within the current budget) geophysical surveys at Ditau, the medium term plan is to attract a joint venture partner.

The Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB) extends in a northeast-southwest direction for at least 1,000 km from western Namibia to north-eastern Botswana. The KCB contains known sediment-hosted copper-silver deposits two of which are currently being developed into mid-tier copper-silver mines. Kavango will carry out geophysics surveys and soil sampling to identify copper hosting anticline structures. The KCB Project is the subject of a recently signed MOU with a private Botswana company, who hold two strategic but unexplored PLs in the KCB area, whereby Kavango can earn an interest in the two licences by spending funds on exploration.

Conclusion

Kavango’s three projects in Botswana, the Kalahari Suture Zone, the Ditau Camp Project and the Kalahari Copper Belt, offer an excellent diverse potential for the discovery of nickel-copper-PGE, copper-silver and rare earth deposits.

Botswana is recognised as the best jurisdiction in Africa for business and with the Company’s very experienced management team the chances of success are high.

Joint Venture Discussions

In order to offset the costs of a prolonged exploration programme, which may involve extensive resource drilling, Kavango has signed Non-Disclosure Agreements with several major and mid-tier companies concerning possible future joint ventures. The orientation programme (described above) is expected to support these discussions and the Company will provide further updates in due course.

Michael Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

"There is mounting evidence that Ditau is at the centre of a previously unrecognised alkali magmatic complex. The current orientation exercise is designed to confirm the existence of carbonatite associated with the 10 ring structures identified to date. A number of mining companies have shown interest in this project and we look forward to working with an industry partner to realise fully its potential."

Carbonatite orientation programme at Ditau

Kavango Resources plc (LSE: KAV), the exploration group listed on the Standard List segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange and targeting the discovery of world-class mineral deposits in Botswana, is pleased to announce an update on the Company's Ditau Project.

Highlights

o Further analysis of assay and geochemical results from February's core drilling, suggests the presence of "fenitization", a type of alteration associated with carbonatites

o 10 magnetic "ring structures", which are prospective for carbonatites, have now been identified within the Ditau licences.

o Carbonatites often contain numerous economic minerals and are the primary source of Rare Earth Elements (REEs).

o Kavango recently learned of 3 carbonatites that were discovered in the 1970s by Falconbridge less than 25km from the Ditau drill sites.

o Kavango is initiating an orientation programme over the Falconbridge carbonatites (within the Company's existing budget).

o Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) have been signed with several major and mid-tier mining firms concerning a possible Ditau Joint Venture

Background

Ditau comprises two prospecting licences (PLs), which cover an area of 1,386km2. Kavango originally identified a magnetic anomaly at the first of these two licenses, which the directors believed presented an attractive exploration target.

In February 2019 the Company drilled two holes into the "original" Ditau magnetic anomaly (the "Ditau Camp Prospect"). Assay and whole rock geochemistry results from these two holes, released in early August, demonstrated the presence of an extensive zone of highly altered Karoo sediments sitting above a mafic intrusive body. The alteration extended to over 300m in depth in both holes, which were 1.8km apart.

The geochemistry obtained from the drill core suggested that the alteration was due to "fenitization", a type of extensive alteration associated with alkali magmatism and carbonatites. Carbonatites are the major global source of Rare Earth Elements (REEs).

The Ditau Targets

Analysis of existing airborne magnetic data identified 10 "ring structures" aligned along a SW-NE axis in the Ditau area. Ring structures are typical of alkali magmatism, which are often accompanied by the intrusion of carbonatite in the form of plugs or dykes.

Recognition of this hitherto unknown complex of alkali ring structures (including at least one possible kimberlite) prompted Kavango to apply for the second PL at Ditau, which was granted in June of this year.

Carbonatites are the principal primary source of REEs including the much sought after elements Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr), which are used in the manufacture of the new generation of electric vehicles (EVs), magnets and other high tech applications.

The board believes that Ditau's post-Karoo age is likely to be conformable with the Long

SP Angel - Morning Notes

Kavango Resources (KAV LN) 1.8p, Mkt Cap £2.9m – Earning up to 90% in two licences in the Kalahari Copper Belt

Kavango Resources reports that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a Botswana company, LVR GeoExplorers, to farm in to up to a 90% interest in two exploration licences in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana.

Over the first 12 months, Kavango is obliged to spend approximately £92,000 on each of the licences in order to acquire a 25% interest. Kavango, which will manage the exploration programme, can increase its interest in either licence by advancing the project to a bankable feasibility level.

The first of the licences (PL082/2018) is located approximately 30km north of MOD Resources’ T3 mine development project and is “completely surrounded by MOD/Metal Tiger exploration licences including their T5, T6, T9, T10, T14 and T15 targets.

The PL lies astride the main Ghanzi - Maun Highway.”
The second licence, PL083/2018, is close to the Namibian border “south of the Trans-Kalahari Highway and adjacent to the block of licences held by Kapore Metals Limited.”

Chief Executive, Michael Foster, described the agreement as “an excellent opportunity for Kavango to acquire an interest in some highly prospective ground in the KCB area, which is now regarded as one of the world's most promising under-explored copper provinces. We believe that the proposed Joint Venture with LVR represents excellent value for shareholders, who now have the prospect of acquiring an interest of up to 90% in these licences.”

He also confirmed that “We will continue to consider other opportunities in this exciting copper province, while our main focus remains the KSZ Project".

Conclusion: The offer by Sandfire to acquire MOD Resources has highlighted the exploration potential of the Kalahari Copper Belt. Kavango Resources’ success with its own exploration at KSZ and the expansion of its portfolio of exploration property within the Kalahari Copper Belt via the MoU with LVR GeoExplorers may prove to be particularly timely.

Kalahari Copper Belt - MOU signed

Kavango Resources plc (LSE: KAV), the exploration group listed on the Standard List segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange and targeting the discovery of world class mineral deposits in Botswana, announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Botswana company, LVR GeoExplorers (Pty) Ltd to farm into two Prospecting Licences in the Botswana section of the Kalahari Copper Belt.

HIGHLIGHTS:

-- Earlier this year, Kavango Minerals (Pty) Ltd was approached by the Botswana registered company, LVR GeoExplorers (Pty) Ltd ("LVR") with a view to assisting them with the exploration of two Prospecting Licences ("PLs") in the highly prospective sedimentary copper province known as the Kalahari Copper Belt ("KCB").

-- Following subsequent negotiations, Kavango has now signed an MOU with LVR that provides for a staged Farm-In, which will give Kavango the right to earn up to a 90% interest in both or either of the licences.

-- In the first 12 months following the signing of the Farm-In Agreement, Kavango will be obliged to spend BWP1.25m (circa GBP92,000) on each of the licences to acquire a 25% interest which has already been allocated within the current budget.

-- A 90% interest in either licence can be earned by taking a project through to bankable feasibility.

-- Kavango will be managers of the exploration and development but will be allowed to withdraw at any time following a two month notice period.

-- PL 082/2018 lies 30km north of MOD's T3 mine development and completely surrounded by MOD/Metal Tiger exploration licences including their T5, T6, T9, T10, T14 and T15 targets. The PL lies astride the main Ghanzi - Maun Highway.

-- PL 083/2018 is close to the Namibian border south of the Trans-Kalahari Highway and adjacent to the block of licences held by Kapore Metals Limited.

-- Exploration of these licences will commence within four weeks of the signing of the Farm-In Agreement.

Michael Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

"The signing of an MOU with LVR GeoExplorers represents an excellent opportunity for Kavango to acquire an interest in some highly prospective ground in the KCB area, which is now regarded as one of the world's most promising under-explored copper provinces. We believe that the proposed Joint Venture with LVR represents excellent value for shareholders, who now have the prospect of acquiring an interest of up to 90% in these licences. We will continue to consider other opportunities in this exciting copper province, while our main focus remains the KSZ Project".

Waiting for confirmation of carbonatite at Ditau, RNS to be released on this soon. If so Ditau will be a major’s target without question. I expect we will see a Major into this project quite quickly. Market will then react properly. #KAV ??@KavangoRes??

Q&A with Kavango Resources' Mike Moles on how it's all to play for at Ditau (KAV)

Rio Tinto invites more junior JVs
5th August 2019 BY: ESMARIE IANNUCCI
CREAMER MEDIA SENIOR DEPUTY EDITOR: AUSTRALASIA

KALGOORLIE (miningweekly.com) – The exploration arm of mining major Rio Tinto has called on junior explorers to enter into joint ventures (JVs) with the company.

“We have completed deals with Antipa Minerals in Western Australia and Star Diamonds in Canada and today we have a large number of JVs and earn-ins under way around the world. We are actively seeking to do more with junior and midtier companies. Our door is firmly open,” Rio’s group executive for growth and innovation, Stephen McIntosh, told delegates at the first day of Diggers and Dealers, in Kalgoorlie, Australia.

“Exploration has been a cornerstone of our business for more than 70 years and is core to our DNA. We’ve consistently funded exploration efforts through this period and in recent times our spend has averaged around $200-million per year,” McIntosh said.

In 2018, Rio spent $231-million on greenfield exploration, split about 75% in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries and Peru and 25% in non-OECD countries.

“Our focus today is mostly on copper and diamonds, but we are really commodity agnostic. We have the ability to flex this focus in line with economic cycles and where we see the best opportunities.

“We have assembled significant land packages around the world and are very actively drilling at this time. We are actually drilling the largest number of greenfield targets for close to two decades.”

McIntosh noted that while Rio was an ardent explorer, only the most attractive discoveries were developed, while noncore discoveries were divested. He noted that between 2007 and 2018, Rio spent about $1.8-billion on greenfield exploration and returned roughly the same amount through divestments of noncore projects.

“As I like to say we are delivering organic options for our company to invest in essentially for free. And of course we would like more of these options.

“Of course, we don’t believe in exploration for exploration’s sake, we ultimately judge our success by how many of our discoveries become projects. We are proud to say that nearly three-quarters of all tier-1 and tier-2 discoveries made by the group since 1947 have become operational mines.

“I think it is also important to call out our positive impact on the broader industry. Many of our divestments have become cornerstone businesses for other companies. I believe this symbiosis is often overlooked.”

"We really want to show the door is open. We don’t have an exclusive licence for good ideas for explorations, and we want people to come to us with their good ideas. We have the funding and the ability to scale, we have a world leading fabric of discovery success," McIntosh said on the sidelines of the conference.

Remember these are FIRST TWO holes drilled 1.8km apart. XRF readings confirmed for cobalt, copper, neodymium. Maybe additional metals that XRF cannot scan (gold, uranium etc). Huge Olympic Dam style structure. I think a 50+ hole JV with mid tier or Major. XRF readings were
Cobalt 70m @ 0.2%
Neodymium 200m @ 0.2%
Copper 1.5% unknown in gabbro @ 1.5%
Ditau’s a BIG system 5km x 7km
Drilling main 450Km KSZ next month
45+ good looking targets
Current market cap £5.5M

#KAV The wait to see what the initial drill at Ditau has yielded is nearly over. Will we see early signs of another Olympic Dam?

The company has made it clear the strategy for Ditau & the fact that they've received interest previously.

Disc: Added on this week's weakness.

Looks like they are investigating a large system and clearly from their tone are confident of a farm-in or similar. Time will tell but the upside on successful drill data or corporate activity could be stunning. And main course KSZ still to come! #KAV @KavangoRes

Given what we know so far;

-First two holes at Ditau hit mineralisation

-Intensely altered Rocks down to 500m

-XRF readings indicate base metals presence including Copper, Cobalt and REE's

-After completion of drilling, the company has kept very quiet while simultaneously applying for (and being awarded) the area southwest of Ditau, a license covering 916km2.

-They are talking about farming out 'due to its size' after just two holes to do it justice.

I have seen this a number of times in both Mining and oil&gas industry and its usually the routine of a metals/minerals/oil&gas discovery. I think its pretty clear what's coming. What's a surprise to me is how the market has not woken up to the story yet. About to get very interesting here.

"I may be wrong. However, there is a air of major discovery potential around KAV @KavangoResources - combined by a farm in deal on Ditau. News today for me has consolidated my thoughts on this. Hold + 3% [Smiley Face Emoji].

I know! I have a similar holding to you also having been in since IPO and adding along the way.
Results must be close and if they are good then I'm sure we will see a lot more interest.

A couple of times now Mike Moles has referenced Olympic Dam when talking about Ditau. It makes sense for them to farm it out as given the huge size (5km x 7km) it would need a serious drilling campaign of 50 to 100 holes to get a good understanding of it and clearly that’s best left to a mid tier or even major.

Important to note also that they have hit mineralization in the first two holes which is pretty unusual. I think catsick mentioned before that at Olympic Dam that missed on a few of the first holes.

Also my understanding is that the real serious mineralization was only found towards the end of that first campaign. Perseverance can really pay off!

Important thing is, now the license with the possible Ditau extension is in the bag, there is no other reason to hold back assay results. As Mike Moles said in the interview, announcement will be out 'very soon'.

Its crazy how under the radar this is. Anyway, its an opportunity to top up.

KAVANGO RESOURCES PLC

NEW LICENCE ACQUIRED AT DITAU, BOTSWANA

Kavango Resources plc ("Kavango" or "the Company") (Ticker LSE: KAV), the exploration group listed on the Standard List segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange and targeting the discovery of world class mineral deposits in Botswana, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a new prospecting licence ("PL") adjacent to the current Ditau PL.

The new PL covers an area of 916.4km(2) to the south west of the current licence. It includes the extensions of the Ditau geological and geophysical structures that have potential for base metal mineralization.

Michael Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

"Extending our land position at Ditau following an assessment of the Company's recent work provides Kavango with an important strategic ground holding in this prospective area.

Additionally we believe that this new licence could be instrumental in the farming-out of this project to an industry partner. This is currently Kavango's preferred option. Our main focus remains the Kalahari Suture Zone ("KSZ") structure in southwest Botswana where drilling is expected to commence later this quarter".

Further information in respect of the Company and its business interests is provided on the Company's website at www.kavangoresources.com and our twitter account at #KAV.

Will we see a Norilsk or Olympic Dam style deposit? Hundreds of metres of alteration in two holes 1.8km apart on a 5km x 7km system. Cobalt, copper and neodymium reported via XRF. Full assays due soon. Testing for 53 metals and 12 REEs. Very exciting!!

Some decent buys at the end of last week and 390K this morning ahead of news from Ditau early next week?
If they are good I imagine we’ll see a farm in on Ditau with a mid tier or Major who will accelerate the project while KAV shift their attention to the main KSZ and those very attractive looking targets from phase one and two of the EM surveys. They had three drillable targets from phase one and at least the same from phase two where I assume the groundwork is ongoing.
