The Placement, in conjunction with Kopore’s current cash reserves, ensures Kopore is well funded to undertake its planned 2019 exploration program on its Botswanan and Namibian licenses. The Company will continue to explore its dominant land position in the Kalahari Copper Belt. It is anticipated that drilling will continue through the year on several high priority targets, across Namibia and Botswana. Details of individual drill programs will be advised on an ongoing basis.

The Company is utilising a suite of downhole geophysical tools combined with downhole optical probes, to refine ongoing and upcoming drilling programs at its Ongava and Omenya Dome prospects in Namibia and the Korong Central prospect in Botswana.

Managing Director Simon Jackson commented :

“We are delighted with the support we have received from both existing and new shareholders. Kopore presents as a unique opportunity to invest in a pure copper exploration play in one of the current hotspots for copper. We look forward to continuing exploration on our large land holdings in Botswana and Namibia with the aim of finding the next copper deposit on the Kalahari Copper Belt.”
