ASX RELEASE | 2 November 2018

NAMIBIAN INITIAL PLANNED EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

ABOUT KOPORE METALS

Kopore Metals Limited is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and is actively exploring its copper-silver prospects on the emerging world class Kalahari Copper Belt, Republic of Botswana and Namibia.

REGISTERED OFFICE Suite 5, 62 Ord Street West Perth WA 6005

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Initial 11 hole 2,400m of diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling program planned across the Qembo, Zambinda and Ongava Dome Prospects

  • Kopore continues to compile and interpret extensive historical geological database, covering its 100% owned Namibian exploration licenses to refine immediate targets

  • Historical drilling at Qembo Dome is interpreted to have not potentially reached the economically significant footwall zone which is known elsewhere on the Kalahari Copper Belt to host copper-silver mineralisation

  • Maiden drill program at Qembo Dome will target the true footwall contact zone testing for shallow and along strike extensions of the interpreted zone

  • Reprocessed geophysical data from the Ongava Dome highlights the near surface presence of the D’Kar footwall structure and will remain the focus of the planned ground magnetic and electromagnetic survey

  • Exploration expected to commence in Q4 2018 subject to government approval of the Environmental Application

Kopore Metals Limited (“Kopore” or “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Namibian Licenses that the Company acquired in July 2018. Kopore was recently granted access to an extensive database of historical drill holes, airborne magnetic geophysical surveys and soil samples by the Namibian Department of Mines.

Qembo Dome

The Company has identified the Qembo dome as a high priority target for immediate diamond drill testing, following the receipt of Environmental Approvals and land access agreements. The Company believes that the previously reported historical drill results including 3m @ 1.11% Cu and 127.19g/t Ag[1] may not have intersected the entire mineralised sequence above the footwall contact between the D’Kar and Ngwako Pan Formations. This contact is known to host copper-silver mineralisation across the Kalahari Copper Belt in similar geological settings at the Zone 5 deposit (Cupric Canyon Capital) and T3 copper-silver deposit (MOD Resources Limited), (Figure 4). While the historical drilling confirms the presence of a mineralised copper system, the Company believes that there is potential for shallower and highergrade mineralisation along strike, down dip and adjacent to the footwall contact.

ASX RELEASE | 2 November 2018

The Company will commence its exploration activities on the Qembo Dome before progressing to the Zambinda and Ongava Domes.

Ongava and Otjari Domes

Reprocessed historical airborne magnetic geophysical data at the Ongava and Otjari Domes has highlighted the potential for the near surface expression of the contact between the D’Kar and Ngwako Pan Formations. The prospectivity of the Ongava and Otjari Domes are further enhanced by several crosscutting structural discontinuities providing potential pathways for mineralising fluids and prospective trap sites. Similar geological structures are located on the Kalahari Copperbelt along strike at the Klein Aub and Witvlei deposits.

the D’Kar and Ngwako Pan Formations. Identified targets will then be followed up with a diamond and reverse circulation drilling program.

Namibian Exploration Licencing Update

The Company continues to progress the Environmental Approval Process to allow systematic exploration across its entire Namibian 5,705km[2] licence area, including the five other domal structures identified. Kopore remains has submitted its information on schedule and confident of the approval process being completed in time for drilling to commence on schedule in Q4 2018.

ABOUT KOPORE

Kopore Metals Limited (ASX: KMT) is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and is actively exploring its copper-silver prospects on the world class Kalahari Copper Belt, located in the Republic of Botswana and Namibia.

Kopore continues to explore for stratabound copper-silver deposits across its sixteen 100% owned prospecting licenses in Botswana and eight prospecting licences in Namibia, for a total of 14,363km[2] on the world class Kalahari Copper Belt. Kopore believes the Kalahari Copper Belt can provide the potential for large scale discovery, as demonstrated by neighbouring resource development companies.

The directors and management of Kopore have strong complimentary experience with over 20 years of Australian and International technical, legal and executive roles in exploration, resource development, mining, legal and resource fields.

Botswana and Namibia are stable, pro-mining jurisdictions, supportive of mineral exploration and development. According to the most recent Fraser Institute Annual Mining Survey, Botswana and Namibia are ranked #3[rd] and #6[th] respectfully for “investment attractiveness” in Africa, in addition to their highly ranked global position.
