Kavango finds high-grade gold deposit in Zimbabwe

(3 Minutes Read)

In a statement released Monday, Kavango revealed that the promising intercept came from hole BLDDUG004B, which returned 4.36 metres of mineralisation grading 11.79g/t, including exceptionally high sub-sections of 44.88g/t and 25.04g/t over shorter intervals.

British mining firm Kavango Resources Plc has reported a breakthrough in its exploration campaign at the Bill’s Luck Gold Mine in southern Zimbabwe, revealing a high-grade gold intercept of 11.79 grams per tonne (g/t) during underground drilling operations.

The discovery is part of the company’s Hillside Project, which lies within Zimbabwe’s historic Filabusi greenstone belt. The result confirms the presence of a rich gold-bearing zone, significantly enhancing the mine’s potential profitability and increasing the likelihood of sustained commercial operations.

To improve operational clarity, Kavango has reverted to using historical names for its four key gold prospects on the Hillside Project — Bill’s Luck, Britain, Nightshift, and Steenbok — which were previously referred to as Prospects 1 through 4.

As part of its development strategy, Kavango has commenced work on a 50-tonnes-per-day (tpd) gold processing plant at Bill’s Luck. The plant is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2025, and Turney expressed confidence it will operate at full capacity from launch thanks to the strength of the latest findings.
