PRESS RELEASE

 

19 December 2024

KAVANGO RESOURCES PLC

("Kavango" or "the Company")

Strategic Financing

Kavango Resources plc (LSE:KAV), the Southern Africa focussed metals
exploration company, is pleased to announce a strategic financing of
£6,566,200 at 0.7 pence per share (the "Strategic Financing").

The Strategic Financing will be subject to the approval of a prospectus by the
Financial Conduct Authority and shareholder approval at a general meeting (the
"General Meeting"). The Company will call the General Meeting shortly.

The Strategic Financing will be carried out by the conditional issue of
938,028,569 new ordinary shares of £0.001 each in the capital of the Company
at a price per share of 0.7 pence.  Trading in the Company's shares closed at
0.65p to 0.7p on Wednesday 18 December.

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango, commented:

"We've recently announced Kavango's plans at Prospects 3 and 4 at the Hillside
Gold Project in Zimbabwe. If the next phases of resource and exploration
drilling meet our expectations, we will start work on developing two projects
that we hope to start mining by the end of 2025.

Over recent months, we have been readying the company for this next phase of
growth.

Through our subsidiary Kavango Mining, we have recruited a dedicated mining
team and put in place processes ready to start operations. We have hired an
Australian mining engineer, who is experienced in using modern mechanised
methods and lode gold systems. He is overseeing our planned strategy to move
into mine development. Finally, we have engaged a gold processing plant
manufacturer in South Africa to conduct initial metallurgical test work on ore
samples taken from our project areas.

Meanwhile, in Botswana, we are encouraged by the results of our recent drill
campaign. We have gathered valuable data to build our vectoring model and will
complete the next phase of geophysics early in the New Year. This will guide
us on the next phase of drilling, which we are planning for Q1 2025.

Today's financing provides us with the working capital we need to put these
plans into action."

Use of funds

Funds from the Strategic Financing will contribute to the Company's plans for
developing gold mines in Zimbabwe at the Hillside Project, further exploration
in Zimbabwe and Botswana and for general working capital purposes.
