“Kaoko is at the forefront of opportunity, exploring for copper in Namibia. We focused on copper over eighteen months ago, just because of the structure of the deficit that we saw growing and the decrease of the copper production [happening] around the world,” Mr O’Donovan told HotCopper.

Kaoko just recently acquired two projects, a sediment-hosted copper-silver project in the Kaoko Belt, which boasts outstanding surface grades, as well as a “really exciting” copper-gold project in the Karibib Belt.

“We’ve supplemented all that with a really strong team, and we’re coming to market… and going to get active and drilling immediately.”

Kaoko floats at 1PM today, at 20cps.
