QUARTER ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2020

Kopore Metals Limited ( Kopore or Company ) is pleased to provide the following activities report for the quarter ended 31 December 2020 ( December Quarter ).

Exploration

The Company confirms no substantive exploration activities were undertaken in the December Quarter. Due to ongoing COVID-19 protocols implemented by the Government of Botswana aimed at avoiding and containing the spread of COVID19, the Company maintained a halt on all exploration activities during the quarter.

Botswana’s COVID-19 related state of emergency, introduced in early April 2020, has been extended until March 2021. During this time, Kopore has continued to focus on planning forward work programs on its 3,588km[2] of exploration ground in the Kalahari Copper Belt and renewing licenses with mandated relinquishment, as required by law.

In January 2021, reprocessing of historical Airborne electromagnetic ( EM ) data commenced. In early 2018, Kopore flew an airborne EM survey at the Korong Domal prospect (ASX announcement: 27 February 2018). This data is now being reprocessed by Newexco Exploration geophysicists using the Geo Science Australia Layer Earth Inversion (GALEI) algorithms. These will provide improved noise handling, giving more accurate 3d inversions of any bedrock conductors at depth. This information will then be utilized in targeting future exploration work. Korong sits on the south western extension of a major regional structure that hosts both of the copper mines now in development on the Kalahari Copper Belt.

Horseshoe West

As announced on 28 January 2021, the Company has entered into an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Murchison Copper Mines Pty Ltd over the Horseshoe West exploration Project ( HW ). HW is immediately west of the historical Horseshoe Lights mine. The Company must spend $250,000 in the first year and is planning initial work to commence in the March 2021 quarter.

Corporate

During the period, the Company held its 2020 Annual General Meeting, where all resolutions passed on a poll.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.3.5, payments to related parties or their associates during the quarter comprised Managing Director salary, Non-executive Director fees and superannuation.

ABOUT KOPORE

Kopore continues to explore for stratabound copper-silver deposits across its eight 100% owned prospecting licenses in Botswana with a total area of 3,588km[2] of the world class Kalahari Copper Belt.

Botswana is a stable, pro-mining jurisdiction, supportive of mineral exploration and development. According to the 2019 Fraser Institute Annual Mining Survey[1] , Botswana was ranked 3rd for “investment attractiveness” in Africa, in addition to being ranked 45th globally.
