African Copper unveils initial inferred resource at Mowana North

Mining group African Copper has revealed the initial inferred resource estimate for the Mowana North Area in Botswana as 56.8m tonnes grading 0.45 per cent copper.

Drilling has been conducted over an area covering 2km by 300 metres with samples taken across the mineralised orebody for testing. The results were categorised as inferred because it was not possible to identify a continuity of high grade intersections between boreholes. The estimate may be recategorised once additonal, more closely spaced infill drilling between current section lines occurs.

The estimate extends the known copper mineralisation an additional 2km northwards, it added.
