Australian junior Cobre has commenced a diamond drilling programme at the Kitlanya West project in Botswana, targeting copper/silver mineralisation in collaboration with diversified major BHP. 

The drilling follows active seismic surveys completed in 2024 and forms part of the recently announced earn-in joint venture agreement with BHP.

The programme includes three deep drill holes exceeding 1 km, designed to test large anticlinal trap-sites identified in seismic sections and provide insights into the deeper basin architecture.

“We’re pleased to get this exciting programme under way so quickly. In addition to testing for copper/silver mineralisation in compelling trap-sites, drill results will answer a variety of key questions assessing the potential for the northern KCB margin to host large Tier 1 deposits. Results from this important phase of work will be used to further refine our seismic driven targeting strategy,” said Cobre CEO Adam Wooldridge.

This initial phase is part of a broader A$11-million exploration budget for 2025/26, which includes additional seismic surveys and further deep test holes to assess the potential of Cobre’s Kitlanya projects to host large-scale copper/silver deposits.
