Kavango Resources has mobilised for a new drilling campaign on its Kalahari Suture Zone project in Botswana.
Local contractor Mindea will drill the cluster of three "B Conductors" identified in the KSZ North project area with up to 4 holes planned at a depth of 600-700m.
The primary target will be the B1 Conductor, which was recently remodelled using Downhole Electromagnetic (DHEM) survey data.
Secondary targets comprise the B3 and B4 conductors.
Ben Turney, Kavango's chief executive, said: "We are delighted to return to drilling the Kalahari Suture Zone. Following last year's 'near miss' of the B1 Conductor, we've made thorough preparations for our return to this target.
"Mindea successfully drilled two holes in the area last year for us, overcoming difficult ground conditions.
"We learned a lot together from that campaign and are confident Mindea's team will give us the greatest chance of making a successful intersection of the 28,700 Siemens B1 Conductor.”
Drilling is expected to get underway in three weeks.
