has received assay results from nine addi-
tional holes of its 35-hole diamond drill
programme at the Kombat copper mine,
located between Otavi and Grootfontein
in northern Namibia.
According to the company, the results
observed to date continue to indicate a
near-surface mineral resource. The initial
drill hole programme is now complete and
all samples for assay have been submitted
to the laboratory.
Highlights include Hole K15-010 which
intersected 1,16 % Cu and 11,14 g/t Ag
over a 19,25 m core length and Hole
K15‑012, which intersected 1,37 % Cu and
14,77 g/t Ag over an 8,33 m core length.
“The vast majority of the holes being
reported are in what is known as the
Central Pit area which saw very limited
mining at the end of the mine life in 2006-
2007,” says Bill Nielsen, President and
CEO of Kombat Copper. “Our results have
expanded the known mineralisation to
the east and west and we are encouraged
that this northern mineralised horizon may
contribute to future estimates of mineral
resources. We will be completing addi-
tional work to determine the structural

extensively mined underground.”
Kombat Copper is hoping to define a
near surfacemineral resource at Kombat suf-
ficient to support an open-pit scenario that
would allow a fast track to production.
