About this update from Kavango Resources Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n 02 March 2023\n \n \n \n KAVANGO RESOURCES PLC\n \n \n \n (\"Kavango\" or \"the Company\")\n \n \n \n Upgrade of B1 Conductor\n \n \n \n Botswana focussed metals exploration company Kavango Resources plc (LSE:KAV) (\"Kavango\") is pleased to announce an operational update for its Kalahari Suture Zone North (\"KSZ North\") project.\n \n \n \n STRATEGIC REVIEW\n \n \n \n - Kavango\n has prioritized the cluster of three identified \"B Conductors\" (>>> announced 11 July 2022) on the KSZ North Project for drill testing.\n \n \n - \n The B1 Conductor (\"B1\") was recently remodelled with a conductance of 28,700 Siemens using Downhole Electromagnetic (\"DHEM\") survey data. This is well into the range accepted by nickel-copper specialised geophysicists for pyrrhotite bearing massive sulphides.\n \n \n - \n New Controlled Source AudioMagnetotelluric (\"CSAMT\") data suggests that B1 lies at a lithological boundary in Karoo sediments within mudstones and gabbro sills. Kavango believes these gabbro intrusive sills could host massive sulphides if sulphur saturation has occurred.\n \n \n The B3 and B4 conductors (\"B3\" and \"B4\") have been modelled at 4,100 and 2,760 Siemens respectively. These are also in the range of possible massive sulphides.\n \n \n \n DRILLING PARAMETERS\n \n \n \n - \n Kavango intends to drill test the B Conductors and the KSZ North geology host environment at the same time, along with the geochemistry of the gabbro intrusions at/near the conductors.\n \n \n - \n On the suggestion of a senior external advisor, the Company will also test the chemistry of historically intersected coaly sediments to determine if they represent a viable sulphur source for the system. This was postulated by Holwell and Blanks in 2020, who endorsed the KSZ North program and proposed that Karoo intrusive gabbros could undergo sulphur saturation to form massive sulphide deposits.\n \n \n - \n Kavango believes that drilling the B Conductors could validate its entire KSZ North exploration program.\n \n \n \n Jeremy S. Brett, Executive Director at Kavango Resources and Senior Geophysical Consultant through\n Jeremy S. Brett International Consulting Ltd\n \n \n , commented:\n \n \n \n \n \"The B1, B3 and B4 cluster of conductors is significant and drill ready. The high conductance of the ...
