Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango, commented:

"We are now entering the crucial phase of Kavango's plan in Zimbabwe. In the last two years, we've made four significant discoveries that we believe we can bring into commercial production. Our immediate objective now is to build and commission 250tpd of gold mining and processing capacity at our Hillside Gold Project in the first half of next year. This pilot-scale production will allow us to clearly and decisively prove to the international market that Zimbabwe is a mining-friendly jurisdiction that is open for business.

"We intend to use the funds raised today to accelerate our progress towards that goal.

"I would like to sincerely thank our existing and new shareholders for joining us in pursuit of this transformative vision."

Use of funds

Funds from the Placing and Subscription will contribute to the Company's general working capital and will fund further exploration and mine development work. This work will include (but not be limited to):

o Combination of surface diamond and reverse circulation drilling, plus underground diamond drilling to identify 3-years of mineable reserves

§ Initiation of construction of 200tpd Carbon In Leach ("CIL") processing plant at Bill's Luck
