KAVANGO RESOURCES PLC

("Kavango" or "the Company")

Placing to expand exploration programme

Kavango Resources plc (LSE:KAV), the exploration company targeting the discovery of world-class mineral deposits in Botswana, is pleased to announce a heavily oversubscribed £750,000 placing at 3p per share. This represents no discount to the offer price of Kavango's shares at close on Friday 06 May.

Highlights

- Placing:

- 25,000,000 New Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") have been placed by First Equity Limited ("First Equity"), on behalf of the Company with institutional and other investors (the "Placing")

- The Placing has been conducted at a price of 3p

- A one-for-one warrant will be issued to all placing participants, exercisable at 5p per share for a period lasting until 31 December 2023 (the "Warrants")

- The Company has raised gross funds of £750,000

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

"We received an offer from First Equity on Friday to raise money for Kavango over the weekend. We set a maximum limit of £750,000 and received offers to subscribe for nearly double this amount.

At this stage in Kavango's development, the additional working capital will support expanding our exploration programme. We are also conscious to manage dilution at this level. A number of work streams are nearing completion and we will be able to deploy the new funds quickly.

We would like to thank First Equity and their clients for their strong support."

Placing

The 25,000,000 New Ordinary Shares have been conditionally placed by First Equity Limited on behalf of the Company with institutional and other investors, including high net worth and retail investors, to raise £750,000.
