Kavango Resources selected thirteen priority exploration areas across four of its prospecting licences in the Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB) in Botswana.
The objective is to make one or more discoveries of economically viable copper/silver deposits, the group said.
Up to 37,600m of reverse circulation and diamond drilling is planned across 188 locations in the thirteen areas.
All the priority targets are in underexplored areas of the KCB and in the vicinity of known high-grade copper/silver deposits, Kavango added.
Ben Turney, chief executive, added: “We have undertaken extensive geological, geochemical, and geophysical work to define our target areas precisely, with the aim of maximising our chances of success.
“Through our flexible proposed drill programme, we have a total of 188 viable drill locations over 13 priority areas, each of which we believe gives us the chance of encountering copper mineralisation.
“Our ground could host multiple deposits, which is why we have been as thorough as we have in our approach.”
