Cazaly Resources Limited ( ASX: CAZ, “Cazaly” or “the Company” ) is pleased to announce that it has finalised its due diligence into the Kaoko Kobalt project which is primarily prospective for copper-cobalt mineralisation (“ the Project ”). Details of the project and deal were previously announced by the Company to the ASX on the 26[th] March, 2018. The due diligence confirmed the potential of the project and did not encounter any issues to preclude the deal proceeding. Accordingly, the Company will proceed to finalising the transaction which will see it having the right to earn a 95% interest in the project.
The Kaoko Project is located in northern Namibia approximately 800km by road from the capital of Windhoek and approximately 750km from port of Walvis Bay (Figure 1). The region has excellent infrastructure and comprises exploration licence EPL6667, which was granted to local Namibian owned company KDN Geo Consulting CC (“KDN”) in February 2018 for an initial 3 year period. The Project is very large, being ~85 km long and covering an area of approximately 967 square kilometres and abuts Celsius Resources Limited’s (“Celsius”) (ASX:CLA) Opuwo Cobalt project.

The Kaoko Kobalt project is situated immediately to the north of, and abuts, Celsius’s Opuwo cobalt project and covers ~27km of the postulated continuation of the Co-Cu bearing DOF horizon. The region has only had cursory exploration in the past the results of which highlighted widespread base metal mineralisation and a regional 1km by 1km soils programme delineated a 20km by 5km area of subdued magnetics coincident with anomalous Cu-Co-Zn-Mn at the Kamwe prospect (Figure 4).
Further details are outlined in the Company's presentation and 26[th] March ASX announcement which are also available on the Company’s website.

ACQUISITION
Cazaly will now progress to finalising the acquisition of 100% of the capital in Australian unlisted proprietary company Kunene North Pty Ltd (“Kunene”). Kunene’s main asset is a Joint Venture with KDN Geo Consulting CC (“KDN”, a local Namibian company controlled by historically disadvantaged Namibians) who owns the EPL6667 licence. The KDN JV is administered through a jointly owned Namibian company, Philco One Hundred and Seventy Three (Proprietary) Limited (“Philco”). Full details of the transaction are outlined in the Company’s 26[th] March, 2018 ASX announcement.
As a result of proceeding, Cazaly will;
-
issue 6 million CAZ shares to the vendors and KDN and be obligated to;
-
Spend N$3 million (~A$270,000) by 18 November 2020 on the project,
-
Issue 10.5 million fully paid CAZ shares upon the delineation of a JORC compliant resource containing at least 10,000t of contained cobalt (or other metal equivalent), and
-
Pay A$1 million (or issue fully paid CAZ shares to that amount) upon a formal Decision to Mine
NEXT STEPS
Cazaly is now in the process of setting up a local team and commencing initial field work at the project including detailed review of existing data, reconnaissance work and surface sampling.
Commenting on the transaction, Cazaly’s Joint Managing Director Clive Jones said:
“Cazaly is very pleased to secure the Kaoko project which adjoins Celsius Resources’ rapidly growing Opuwo cobalt–copper project. This region in Namibia appears to be a significant emerging cobalt bearing belt having remarkable similarities with the Central African Copperbelt in the DRC and Zambia. This is an ideal time to be exploring for large resources of cobalt where we are seeing cobalt prices continuing to surge on the back of growing concern that future supplies may be unable to meet burgeoning demand. We are currently finalising access to the ground and are looking forward to commencing our maiden field work shortly.”
