The geological modelling allows Kavango's technical team to identify lithological units, structures, zones of conductivity and potential ore bodies on a line by line basis.\n· Each of the lines flown (500m apart) can be viewed as a vertical section with depth penetration down to nearly 700m in some cases. It also provides for horizontal \"slicing\" at any depth. This enables Kavango's geologists to move from line to line, at any depth, to view the conductive targets and their associated host lithologies.\n· The model identifies a number of conductors closely associated with gabbroic*** intrusives and faults.\n· The added depth penetration of the new SkyTEM 12.5Hz system combined with the advanced data processing undertaken by Aarhus Geophysics has produced results greatly superior to those from the Phase 1 AEM survey.\n· One of the advantages of the new processing techniques is its ability to discriminate between false (artefact) conductors created by the software and \"real\" conductors that are generated by the geology. \n· To date 45 conductive anomalies have been identified from the Phase 2 su...
