Haneti Project Nickel Drill Programme - Pre-Mobilisation

 

Katoro Gold plc (AIM:   KAT), the AIM listed   gold and nickel exploration and development company, is pleased to provide an update with respect to the planned drilling programme targeting the discovery of nickel and platinum group metals ("PGM") at the Haneti Project ("Haneti") in Tanzania.

Katoro Gold PLC holds a 65% ownership interest in Haneti with 35% held by Power Metal Resources PLC ("POW").

HIGHLIGHTS:

· Pre-drill rig mobilisation now underway to finalise preparations for the maiden drilling programme targeting nickel sulphide and PGM mineralisation.

 

· Technical team mobilising to site shortly to liaise with the Tanzania Ministry of Minerals and regional/local government, prepare equipment for mobilisation and arrange ground operational staffing.

 

· The drill contractor availability has now been confirmed and the key objective is for mobilisation of the drilling rig and field team to site as soon as possible, subject to applicable Covid-19 related restrictions.

Louis Coetzee, Chairman of Katoro Gold plc, commented: "I am very pleased that we are able to announce the mobilisation of the first exploration drilling program at Haneti. We believe that Haneti holds significant potential to host a world class nickel deposit within a previously identified 80km long ultramafic complex. Previous exploration work in this complex delivered nickel values as high as 13.6% and 2.33 g/t combined platinum and palladium."
