Kavango Resources Plc (LON:KAV) has received permission to carry out an airborne electromagnetic geophysical survey over its KSZ Project in southwest Botswana.
Flying is expected to commence shortly said Michael Foster, chief executive. Canadian group Geotech will fly 2,000 line kms (Phase 1), with the work expected to take 3-4 weeks subject to weather conditions. There is an option to extend the survey to 8,144 line kms (Phases 2 and 3).

Foster added the survey area has ‘distinct similarities’ to the extensive Norilsk nickel, copper and platinum group element deposits in Siberia.
Kavango is looking for the same group of metals and exploration programmes will be designed with the Norlisk deposits in mind.
The Kalahari Suture Zone (KSZ) comprises 12 prospecting licences over an area of almost 7,000 sq km.
