Haneti Diamond Drill Programme Successfully Completed

Katoro Gold PLC (AIM: KAT), the gold and nickel exploration and development company, announces that the diamond drill programme that was carried out at the Haneti Project ("Haneti"), has been completed successfully.

Highlights:

· The Company confirms the drill programme has been completed successfully with a total of 900.04 metres completed across three drill holes as planned.

· Core logging and sampling is underway, with samples being prepared for thin section petrographic analysis and laboratory assay testing (for nickel, copper, platinum, palladium, cobalt, chromium and gold) at SGS Tanzania.

· Large intersections of serpentinite and gabbroic rocks were identified in the Mwaka drill holes, with indications of peridotitic sequences, the latter subject to confirmation through the thin section petrographic analysis.

· The Mihanza drill hole intersected massive serpentinite from surface and serpentinised meta-gabbroic rocks at depth.

Katoro CEO, Louis Coetzee, commented: "The next step of the programme will now entail final core logging, sampling and testing of the samples collected from the core. We look forward to updating the market on the results from this.  

"Thank you to the operational team that has ensured the successful and safe completion of the programme on schedule and within budget."
