So Ditau looks v promising with indicative economic cobalt and other metals TBD from the impending assays.

The targets from phase one of the AEM were followed up on the ground and produced a couple of very good looking drill targets. Diatu seems to have validated their zinc in soils sampling technique so what are the odds that the conductors below are also hosting massive sulphides?

Michael Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

"We are extremely pleased to be able to report that the initial AEM survey results show that a number of the conductive anomalies identified coincide with significant geochemical (zinc in soil) anomalies. Priority targets have now been followed up on the ground with AMT resistivity surveys and exciting potential drill targets have been identified, including at the Ditau Prospect, which forms part of the KSZ Project. It has been highly encouraging to note the effectiveness of Kavango’s exploration strategy and techniques, which are already beginning to deliver positive results."

Have a look at Sirius Resources that were listed on the ASX. Similar potential here.

Are there any smallcap mining analogues we can draw early stage comparisons to? I have dabbled with small miners a few times in the past and only on one occasion did I see any success. Most are just a great tale of riches, the jorcs ni-43 and everything helping them along, but quickly followed by dilution upon dilution and a long way down. What makes this any different?Cash

I hadn't noticed this bit before "Indicative cobalt mineralisation has been identified in both holes"We had an RNS confirming cobalt in the first hole but this confirms cobalt in the second too.The storey here seems to get better and better.Not long until the assay results come back, should have answers in the next 2-3 weeks.

For any newcomers this is what we are drilling at Ditau and so far two holes drilled and both positive for cobalt and other metals to be determined by the assays.

KSZ Project – Ditau Prospect

At the Ditau Prospect, which has a strike of over 7km, multiple lines of AMT surveying have now identified two elongated conductors extending from just below the surface to depths in excess of 600m.

The two Ditau conductors are open at both ends and extend north-south for at least 4km and represent very compelling geophysical anomalies which are both coincident with strong zinc in soil anomalies.

The Ditau magnetic body is associated with a significant gravity anomaly and probably represents a mafic intrusive at depth. These conductors represent prime priority drill targets for the first part of next year.

The remarkable coincidence of significant (probably mineralised) EM conductors at depth with zinc in soils anomalies on surface represents compelling evidence that Kavango’s soil sampling technique is able to detect mineralisation above considerable depths of cover.

The Company believes that a combination of AEM surveying, zinc in soils geochemistry and AMT ground based resistivity surveying will continue to identify multiple high quality drill targets over the coming months.


And from recent RNS

April 30th 2019

The Ditau prospecting licence (PL169) covers 469km(2) and is the most advanced of the Company's prospects. The Ditau Prospect is a 7km x 5km magnetic and gravity anomaly with significant zinc-in-soils anomalies. Geochemical soil sampling and geophysics (magnetic and gravity surveys as well as CSAMT) have identified a number of large conductive anomalies at depth (see below). At the time of writing two diamond core drill holes have been completed to depths in excess of 300m. Both holes encountered very intense alteration and deformation of the Karoo age rocks, which lie above a mafic intrusive (gabbro), which is almost certainly the source of the magnetic and gravity anomaly.

The alteration in the Karoo sediments appears to be in excess of 300m thick, whilst the alteration penetrates into the gabbro for at least another 75m. Iron and copper sulphide mineralisation is present throughout the altered Karoo sediments and the gabbro. Indicative cobalt mineralisation has been identified in both holes (portable XRF analyses).

The core from both holes has been cut and sampled in Botswana and has now been sent for assay and analysis at a laboratory in Australia.

The numbers show the junior cobalt explorers are still in a coma.

The main reason for continued enthusiasm for cobalt recovery is that the basic economics of supply and demand have not changed. Cobalt is an essential element in lithium ion batteries. The average cell phone, for example, requires roughly 12 times more cobalt than lithium. Tesla’s Model 3 requires 15 kg of cobalt per car. Assuming Tesla hits its production target of 500,000 units, an additional 7.5 million kg of cobalt will be consumed for one model for a minor car producer. That’s roughly 7% of incremental global supply needed for only that one model.

The global market for cobalt is only 100,000 tons per year. That sounds like a lot, but realize that a freighter can take a 100,000 tons of iron ore in one load and ship it across the oceans to India for processing. The cobalt market is comparatively small, leaving it more exposed to kinks in the supply chain.

The car manufacturers understand that vertical integration in their cobalt supply chains will be vital to their success, just as in the rare earths industry. We have seen Volkswagen and BMW announce forays into the cobalt market to secure a long-term cobalt source for their vehicles. They are not content to rely on the Congo (source of 60% of the world’s cobalt) or upon China who processes is more than half of the world’s cobalt.

This is part of the thinking behind FocusEconomics’ latest cobalt projection, which is calling $40,000 per tonne this year for cobalt and then $50,000 in 2021.

We are finally seeing normalization start to play out in the global pricing for cobalt. After a punishing spiral, cobalt has had a 13% jump since March 15/19. While it’s possible these are just zombies stumbling in the dark, we believe this is Life returning to a once buried market.

Yup go figure.

If good then the EM survey results due next week should push the share price to a new high.

It feels as though a few more people are starting to take a look here.

[catsick] 03/5/2019 16:27

Makes no sense to me that it goes up today and the day the first hole results came out it was unch .....

[skiboy10] 03/5/2019 16:24

Imagine what it'll be like on a 50M volume day

With all the info in public domain does feel like buying 30p shares for 3p at the moment. Targeting elephant discovery #KAV @KavangoRes

At 35000 usd a ton , .2% for a pittable resource is more than ok without any credits , now consider that if the cobalt is there then close by all the other elements will also be concentrated and you have a very interesting prospect

[greatfull dead] 03/5/2019 11:33

Looking like a good finish for the bank holiday.

Enjoy all,

Cashandcard - cobalt is economic at 0.1% not 1%

[cashandcard] 03/5/2019 10:41

catsick,


This looks interesting, but returning values of significantly less than 1% cobalt. To what extent will other metal credits have to make up the difference between marginal and economic deposits?

So all good in the hood, update on geophys surveys next week and assays on both holes end of month.

I guess all +/- a week or two.

He was challenged on why they have not updated the market on the second drill site findings I half think that they realised than it made no difference to the share price so may as wait until the assay results.

sit tight

[greatfull dead] 02/5/2019 18:43

All in place... Majors IMHO will try to get a controlling interest once assay results are released. That's assuming they will be as good as I think they will be...

GLA,

Michael Foster mentioned testing for gold in the interview today. This would back up Mike Moles' earlier thoughts on an 'Olympic Dam type structure' Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold or (IOCG) rather than Norilsk Cu-Ni-PGE?

Either way it's 'a big system'.

Also unlike drill one which did not reach target depth they hit their target on the second drill and went out the other side.

[catsick] 02/5/2019 15:03

Very interesting interview, he is not a very good poker player, he could not hide he is talking closely with the majors when asked... we have to wait to the end of the month when we should get 2 sets of assays and a funding jv deal too would be my bet ....
