PRESS RELEASE
07 July 2025
KAVANGO RESOURCES PLC
("Kavango" or "the Company")
11.79g/t gold intercepted over 4.36m at Bill's Luck
Kavango Resources plc (LSE:KAV), the Southern Africa focused metals
exploration and gold production company, is pleased to announce the latest
high-grade gold intercept at the Bill's Luck Gold Mine ("Bill's Luck" or the
"Mine") on the Hillside Project ("Hillside"), Zimbabwe.
Hole BLDDUG004B intersected a gold-bearing structure from 47.36 metres ("m")
to 51.72m of 11.79 grams a tonne ("g/t") over 4.36m* (including 0.57m at
11.9g/t, 0.60m at 44.88g/t and 0.60m at 25.04g/t). This is the latest result
from Kavango's ongoing underground drilling at Bill's Luck.
Highlights
· Underground diamond drilling is ongoing at Bill's Luck to test the
strike and down-dip continuity of recently discovered and existing mineralised
reefs.
· Hole BLDDUG004B was collared on 2 Level (995m above sea level) and
drilled to a depth of 75.48m. Highlights include:
· 11.79g/t over 4.36m from 47.36m depth (including 11.9g/t over 0.57m,
44.88g/t over 0.60m and 25.04g/t over 0.60m) (the "First Intersection").
· 0.49g/t over 4m from 61.30m depth (the "Second Intersection").
· The First Intersection appears to be the down dip continuity of the
Bill's Luck Main Reef
· The Second Intersection appears to be a parallel reef that lies
further into the hanging wall. This appears coincidental with the intersection
in Hole BLDDUG003 that returned 3.70g/t over 0.59m from 6.41m depth (announced
24 June 2025
(https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/kavango_resources_plc/news/rns/story/wk6162x)
).
· Kavango is currently building a 50 ton per day ("tpd") Carbon in Pulp
("CIP") test plant at Bill's Luck to increase gold production capacity
(announced 27 June 2025
(https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/kavango_resources_plc/news/rns/story/rm81n9w)
).
* All intersection lengths are measured down hole, modelling of the Bill's
Luck Mine is currently underway, and once complete, true width intersections
will be announced
Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:
"The latest underground results from Bill's Luck are highly encouraging. We
intercepted 4.36m of gold mineralisation, grading at 11.79g/t. This
intersection is about 12m from where we are currently mining beneath 3 Level,
therefore representing a near-term target for us to pursue.
"While the result is extremely positive, we are most encouraged by what it
suggests about the wider potential at Bill's Luck. The current underground
drilling programmes continue to add further evidence that this gold system is
much larger than we originally anticipated.
"The main strike at Bill's Luck is open, as is the downdip continuity. In
addition, there appears to be a number of previously unrecognised parallel
reefs hosting gold mineralisation.
"We have started work on the 50tpd gold processing plant at Bill's Luck with
commissioning targeted for the second half of the year. Today's result
increases our confidence that we will operate the plant at full capacity from
launch."
Underground Drilling at Bill's Luck
Hole BLDDUG004B was drilled at -55° to a depth of 75.48m. It intersected a
gold-bearing structure from 47.36m to 51.72m of 11.79g/t over 4.36m (including
11.9g/t over 0.57m, 44.88g/t over 0.60m and 25.04g/t over 0.60m The
intersected structure appears to be the down dip continuity of the Bill's Luck
Main Reef.
A second intersection was made at 61.30m to 65.30m of 0.49g/t over 4m. This
structure appears to be a parallel reef. Evidence for this is further
supported by the intersection in BLDDUG003 that returned 3.70g/t over 0.59m
from 60m depth (announced >>> 24 June 2025
(https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/kavango_resources_plc/news/rns/story/wk6162x)
). It appears that these two intersections are 50m vertically apart.
The Bill's Luck CIP Test Plant is expected to boost the Company's overall gold
production within three months and be cash flow positive shortly after
successful commissioning, when steady state nameplate throughput has been
reliably achieved.
Kavango's Operations in Zimbabwe
Kavango is exploring for gold deposits in Zimbabwe that have the potential to
be developed into commercial scale production quickly through modern
mechanised mining and processing. The Company is targeting both open-pit and
underground opportunities.
Kavango has two projects on the Filabusi greenstone belt, Hillside and Nara.
Kavango owns 100% of the Hillside Gold Project, having exercised its option in
April 2024. Here, the Company has three high priority targets it aims to bring
into production over the next 18 months: Bill's Luck, Steenbok and Nightshift.
At Nightshift, Kavango is investigating the potential for a selective open-pit
mining operation, followed by underground mechanised mining. Meanwhile, at
Steenbok, Kavango is pursuing a high-grade mechanised underground mining
opportunity. Kavango is currently analysing the latest drill data from Bill's
Luck and will provide an update shortly.
In addition, Kavango owns 100% of the Nara Gold Project, having exercised its
option in June 2025. Here, the Company is exploring for a large-scale,
mechanisable underground gold deposit. The primary target zone is around the
historic N1 mine, where the Company is assessing the potential to expand
artisanal workings both at depth and along strike.

grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and
longer lengths of low-grade results. the procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
· Outstanding results will be reported as and when they are available
and have been reviewed for QAQC and used for interpretation
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known. its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported. there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length. true width not
known').
· Down hole intersection widths are used throughout.
· Most of the drill intersections are into steep to vertically dipping
units. True thickness is presently unknown and will be determined based on
additional drilling.
· All measurements state that downhole lengths have been used as the true
width cannot yet be established by the current drilling.
· Due to the structural control on the mineralisation and the
anastaomosing nature of the shears, together with an inferred plunge more
drilling is required to provide accurate measurements for true thickness
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should
include. but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
· N/A
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable.
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
· All completed holes have been logged, sampled and dispatch.
· Outstanding results will be reported as and when they are available and
have been reviewed for QAQC and used for interpretation
Other substantive exploration data
Other exploration data. if meaningful and material. should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density. groundwater. geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
· Geophysical work has been done previously, comprising Gradient Array IP
and Stacked Schlumberger Sections
· A regional structural mapping programme has been completed and included
detailed structural analysis of portions of specific holes.
· Further structural work is scheduled
