NEW NAMIBIAN PROSPECTING LICENCE AWARDED

HIGHLIGHTS

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.

DIRECTORS & MANAGEMENT

PETER MEAGHER Non-Executive Chairman

SIMON JACKSON Managing Director GRANT FERGUSON Non-Executive Director SHANNON COATES Non-Executive Director

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

  • New exclusive Prospecting Licence awarded over an area of 982.43km[2 ] on the Kalahari Copper Belt, Republic of Namibia

  • Contiguous to Kopore’s eight current Namibian Prospecting Licences

  • Kopore now holds a total of approximately 15,136km[2] on the emerging world class Kalahari Copper Belt

  • Historical exploration information includes four percussion holes and extensive soil sampling information

  • New licence covers the remainder of the interpreted Otjari Domal Prospect and is located within 2.5km of the Fortuna and Fiesta copper projects

  • Kopore is continuing the drilling program over its recently identified coincident regional scale airborne electromagnetic and copper soil anomalies in Namibia and Botswana

Kopore Metals Limited (ASX: KMT, “Kopore” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the approval of its application for a ninth exclusive Namibian Prospecting Licence (PL7264), contiguous with its existing Namibian licenses, in the world class Kalahari Copper Belt with an area of 982.43km[2] . Kopore’s Namibian licences are located approximately 290km north-east of the Namibian capital city of Windhoek and are bound by the Namibian border on the eastern and southern boundaries. The addition of the new licence contiguous to the Company’s existing Namibian licences, together with its Ghanzi West Licences in Botswana, increases the Company’s consolidated tenure to 15,136km[2 ] of license area (Figure 1).

TENURE

The Namibian portfolio comprises nine granted Prospecting Licences (Table 1) over a total area of 6,687.58km[2] on the Kalahari Copper Belt, located in the Omaheke Region of the Republic of Namibia. The new licence PL7264 was granted to Trans Kalahari Copper Namibia (Pty) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kopore, for a period of 3 years. As part of the Prospecting Licence granting conditions, an Environmental Impact Assessment scoping study over the area has to be submitted to the Environmental Commissioner for approval. The Company has commenced this process to comply with the condition.

THE PROJECT

Previous explorers of PL7264 over the past 10 years have included Eiseb Exploration and Mining Ltd (Namibian subsidiary of Cupric Canyon) and Antofagasta.

PL7264 has received only minor grass roots exploration by the previous licence holders, with three diamond drill holes totalling 594.96m and one Percussion hole totalling 140m. Approximately 510 soil samples were collected along regional soil lines, with a further 2,790 collected from soil grids. Initial indications of copper mineralisation have been intersected in the previous drilling campaign, along with untested soil anomalies. Technical information is currently being collated and collected from the Namibian Department of Mines.

ASX RELEASE | 15 May 2019

Kopore is currently working on the data and acquiring regional airborne geophysics through the Namibian Department of Mines and Energy ( MME ) to aid in target generation and program planning.

Commenting, Simon Jackson, Managing Director said “We are excited to increase our exploration tenure in Namibia. We believe that the Kalahari Copper Belt remains as one of the great underexplored copper districts in the world and Kopore continues to consolidate its position as one of the dominant land holders on the belt. Exploration is ongoing with the aim of finding the next copper deposit on the Kalahari Copper Belt.”

EXPLORATION PROGRAM AND PATH FORWARD

The Company is currently collating all available previous licence holder historical information from the Namibian Department of Mines. Initial planned program activities over PL7264 include the following:

  • Engage an EMP stakeholder liaison consultant to initiate the Environmental Clearance Certificate ( ECC ) process as part of EMP approval. Kopore has initiated discussions with a consultancy company in this regard. The ECC process is estimated to take up to a maximum of six months.

  • o Activities concurrent with the ECC process:

  • Collation and receipt of raw airborne magnetic geophysical data for full reprocessing;

  • Collation of previous prospecting data from the Namibian Department;

  • Development and refinement of a prioritised and fully costed exploration program; and

  • The Company has already engaged local Namibian technical and legal consultants.

Kopore’s priority remains with the current drill program at the Company’s Namibian Ongava Domal Prospect and its Botswana Korong Central Project (Figure 1).

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 emerging 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 14,363 square kilometres 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 #1st and #6th respectfully for “investment attractiveness” in Africa, in addition to their highly ranked global position.

aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade
results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
_should be clearly stated. _

Kopore when any samples are dispatched, and assay results
received.

between

lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential

geophysics was completed over portions of the Ghanzi-Chobe belt.
•Australian geophysicist Kim Frankcombe conducted a review and
reprocess of the supplied airborne magnetic data.
•Availability of further airborne data is being checked with the MME
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas,

•Any further work on the Licences will be dependent upon results from
the initial orientation and reconnaissance soil sampling and ongoing
geological re-interpretation together with the re-processed
