Kaoko Metals has confirmed copper and silver mineralisation at its Chalkos Copper-Silver Project in Namibia, following laboratory assay results from its maiden diamond drilling programme. The first two drill holes at the Otniel prospect intersected broad, shallow mineralised zones containing higher-grade sections, strengthening the project's exploration potential.
The results represent a significant milestone for the company, moving the discovery beyond the visible copper mineralisation reported in September 2026 to laboratory-confirmed copper and silver grades. The findings also indicate a strong association between the two metals, with higher copper concentrations generally accompanied by elevated silver grades.
