Summary and Highlights:

  • Kopore has acquired four additional prospecting licences for copper and silver, comprising an area of 767km[2] and increasing Kopore's overall 100% owned prospecting licence area to 8,658km[2] on the Kalahari Copper Belt.

  • The newly acquired licences are adjacent to major copper resource development company Cupric Canyon Capital’s Banana Zone and Zone 5 Deposits, containing approximately 3Mt of contained copper.

  • Licences cover the prospective D’Kar and Ngwako Pan Formations with favourable structural positions, associated with major copper deposits in the region.

Kopore Metals Limited (“Kopore” or “Company”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 100% interest in four recently granted prospecting licences, adjacent to the southern eastern boundary of Cupric Canyon’s prospecting portfolio, located on the Kalahari Copper Belt, Republic of Botswana.

Historical exploration in the newly awarded areas is limited, however the acquired prospecting areas are located within 30km of the regionally significant Banana Zone (~1.15Mt contained copper) and Zone 5 Project (~2Mt contained copper).

Upon receipt of the appropriate environmental approvals for the new area, the Company is planning to conduct an extensive field program in the second half of this year. Planned exploration activities will include continued historical data collation, review, ground reconnaissance mapping and a potential regional soil sampling program. Kopore aims to identify targeted zones for subsequent geophysics and drilling programs.

Managing Director Grant Ferguson stated :

“The acquisition of the four prospecting licences provides the Company with specific targets adjacent to two of the largest copper resources on the Kalahari Copper Belt. The Company continues to focus on its core projects and will incorporate these prospective and strategic licences into the forward planning, utilising knowledge of the area and recent copper discoveries, along strike.”
