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.
-
oActivities 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).

| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of _drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. _ |
•Appropriate maps and images demonstrating the licence locations and regional setting together with the continental geo-tectonic setting. |
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced avoiding misleading reporting of _Exploration Results. _ |
•The accompanying document is considered to be a balanced and representative report. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• 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 _deleterious or contaminating substances. _ |
•Reprocessing of historical Namibian department of mines airborne 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, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
•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 Government aeromagnetic |
