Kavango Resources said it had shifted the drilling focus on its Kalahari Copper Belt prospects after completing the programme at licence PL082.
The junior drilled a total of seven holes using a combination of Reverse Circulation and diamond drilling.
Brett Grist, chief operating officer, said: “The northern geochemical anomaly on PL082 was a significant target, over which CSAMT had identified a significant, steep zone of structural disturbance and alteration.
“This was successfully intersected in hole KCBRD005 with evidence of fluid flow and alteration, although metal values were not present at elevated levels at the depths tested.
"We had then aimed to intersect the D'Kar/Ngwako Pan contact and possible mineralisation.
“ Drilling on PL082 has indicated that we are higher in the D'Kar sequence than we had originally interpreted.
"This means we can make a clear decision to pause work on this licence for now and move to other targets that now appear more prospective, and which we have been working on in parallel to this drill campaign.”
Four prospecting licences near the Namibian border offer evidence of shallower stratigraphy, he added, and will now become the top priority for Kavango's KCB exploration program.
