DRILLING COMMENCES AT THE NEW KALAHARI COPPER BELT HIGH PRIORITY KORONG CENTRAL PROSPECT
HIGHLIGHTS
-
1,550m drill campaign has commenced at the Korong Central Prospect, testing the prospective D’Kar formation footwall geological contact, located on the Kalahari Copper Belt, Republic of Botswana
-
Revised geophysical interpretation suggests potential shallow footwall contact (less than 250m below surface) at the Korong Central Prospect
-
Multiple new targets across the highly prospective Korong
-
Dome are currently being generated
-
Namibian environmental management plan (EMP) approval on schedule for late 2018
Kopore Metals Limited (“ Kopore ” or “ Company ”) is pleased to announce it has commenced drilling on the newly identified Korong Central Prospect, located on the Kalahari Copper Belt, Botswana (Figure 1). The Company is targeting the prospective footwall contact between the D’Kar and Ngwako Pan Formations. This geological contact position is known to host copper-silver mineralisation across the Kalahari Copper Belt in a similar geological setting as the Zone 5 copper-silver project (Cupric Canyon Capital) and T3 copper-silver project (MOD Resources Limited) (Figure 2).
Following completion of the reprocessing of airborne electromagnetic survey information and the Korong North and Korong East reconnaissance drilling, the Korong Central Prospect has been identified and prioritised for immediate follow up.
The data review and targeting process is being undertaken by Mr Cas Lotter who has extensive Kalahari Copperbelt geophysical exploration experience on the Kalahari Copper Belt.
The Korong Central Prospect has been assigned as the highest priority target on the Korong Dome, with a potential shallow D’Kar/Ngwako Pan Formation footwall contact position, interpreted within 250m below surface (Figure 1).
This interpretation is potentially very significant. If the footwall contact is intercepted at much shallower depth than previous interpretations, then the possibility of any copper-silver mineralisation will significantly enhance the Korong Dome prospectivity.

ASX RELEASE | 15 November 2018
Based upon this new interpretation Kopore has amended its current drill program to immediately focus on testing the Korong Central Prospect. The RC drill rig has been moved from the Korong North Prospect to Korong Central and has commenced drilling.

The initial drilling program comprises up to 1,550m of RC drilling to a maximum planned depth of 350m. Results are anticipated before the end of 2018.
The Company is continuing to assess multiple targets across its 14,363km[2] land package in Botswana and Namibia.
“We recently received the results of the reprocessing of EM survey data that has identified the high priority target at the Korong Central Prospect and prompted the Company to immediately commence a drilling program. This target represents a potential shallow domal structure, footwall position within 250m of surface. The target also coincides with the key regional structures, surficial calcrete, which meets our initial key ranking criteria for a high priority target,” stated Managing Director Grant Ferguson.

ASX RELEASE | 15 November 2018
The upcoming initial drill program[1] (ASX Release 2 November 2018) across the border in Namibia is also on schedule and subject to commence upon receipt of government environmental approvals, expected in late Q4 2018.
As we move into the new year it is an exciting time for Kopore with drilling expected to be underway at two major copper targets within 70km of each other in two countries.
