PRESS RELEASE

26(th) January 2026

KAVANGO RESOURCES PLC

("Kavango" or "the Company")

Successful diamond resource drilling programme at Bill's Luck Gold Mine

Kavango Resources plc (LSE:KAV, VFEX:KAV.VX), the Southern Africa focused
metals exploration and gold production company, is pleased to announce the
full results from its diamond resource drilling programme at Bill's Luck Gold
Mine ("Bill's Luck" or the "Mine") at the Hillside Project ("Hillside"),
Zimbabwe.

The resource drilling programme at Bill's Luck was designed to establish a
maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") to support and inform future mine
planning and scheduling while also unlocking the full value of what is
increasingly believed to be a significant mineralised system at Bill's Luck.

The programme comprised an initial wide-spaced diamond drill programme
followed by infill diamond drilling and a separate reverse circulation ("RC")
drill programme along strike to the northwest and southeast. A total of 7,714
metres ("m") were drilled, comprising 3,556m of RC drilling and 4,158m diamond
drilling. Results from the RC drill programme are expected to be released in
the coming weeks, when all results have been confirmed.

The drill programme has intersected the currently mined "Main Reef", as
expected, but has also confirmed the presence of an additional "reef"
structure adjacent to and parallel with the "Main Reef" that is also
mineralised. The drilling also tested and intersected further "reefs" in both
the hanging wall and footwall. The diamond drilling results, together with the
RC drill programme, will now be used to inform a maiden Mineral Resource
Estimate at Bill's Luck.

Gold assay results from the surface and underground diamond drilling programme
include the following highlights (not including previously announced

this announcement.

 

* All intersection lengths are measured downhole, modelling of the Bill's Luck
Mine is currently underway, and once complete, true width intersections will
be announced

Peter Wynter Bee, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Kavango, commented:

"The resource drilling programme at Bill's Luck has exceeded our expectations,
demonstrating that the mineralised system extends to depths greater than 220m
and exhibits continuity both along strike and at depth. Together with our
incoming RC results, we hope to define a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in
the near future, which will be used to inform mine planning and scheduling at
Bill's Luck and to underpin our assessment of the mine's longer-term
production potential. We look forward to providing further updates on our
plans to increase gold production here soon."

 

Bill's Luck Mine

Introduction

Bill's Luck Mine is situated within the Hillside Gold Project. Originally
mined between 1916 and 1950, the Bill's Luck Mine produced around 17,000
ounces ("oz") of gold ("Au")at an average grade of 7.7 grams per tonne
("g/t"). Since then, only limited community informal mining activity and
small-scale retreatment have taken place. At present, Kavango is focusing on
development at Bills Luck ahead of the commissioning of its 50 tonne-per-day
("tpd") pilot carbon-in-pulp ("CIP") plant.

Gold mineralisation at Bill's Luck is structurally and hydrothermally
controlled, predominantly occurring within and along the margins of these
shear zones. Alteration is characterised by quartz-sericite-chlorite
assemblages with disseminated sulphides, often vein-controlled and associated
with syntectonic quartz-sulphide veins.

Zones of higher vein density and alteration coincide with areas of stronger
deformation, with quartz boudinage, pressure shadows, and mylonitic veins
serving as key mineral traps. Late stage mineralised veins also crosscut the
earlier mylonitic fabric, indicating prolonged and possibly multi-phase
mineralisation.

The structural complexity, combined with the presence of high-strain domains,
linking shear structures, and favourable vein-hosting environments, makes the
Bill's Luck area a high-potential target for structurally-controlled gold
exploration within a dextral transpressional regime.

A collar table and a list of intersections are inserted in the accompanying
JORC table.

interpreted trace of veins with underground workings, borehole traces and gold
grades is shown below. Scale bar for assay grades is 5g/t Au.

 

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 further priority targets at Hillside: Nightshift and Steenbok.
At Nightshift, Kavango declared a Maiden Resource Estimate of 19,000oz Au in
October 2025, which has the potential for a selective open-pit mining
operation, followed by underground mechanised mining. Meanwhile, at Steenbok,
Kavango is considering a high-grade mechanised underground mining opportunity.

Data aggregation methods

In reporting Exploration Results. weighting averaging techniques. maximum
and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off
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.

· All diamond drilling results for Bills Luck are included above.

· Results for RC drilling will be released next week after verification of
QAQC.

 

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
modelling for the MRE.

·   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
anastomosing 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.

·    Appropriate maps (plan and oblique section) included within the text
of the RNS, tabulated collar and assay results are presented above in this
table.

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 are logged, sampled and dispatch as soon as
possible.

 

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
