KIWARA Plc has announced the discovery of high grade nickel assays at its Kawako project in north-western Zambia.

In a statement, Kiwara said the nickel assays had been verified using various analytical techniques and confirmed by independent laboratories.

“The board of Kiwara, the Zambian based exploration company, is very pleased to announce the results of follow up analytical, petrographic and mineralogical work conducted by three independent laboratories Alfred H Knight, Zambia, SGS Zambia and Wardell Armstrong, UK, on the core obtained from its initial drill programme at Kawako that intersected wide mineralized packages which included exceptionally high grades of nickel,” read the statement. “The results confirm that there are no elements which might have an adverse effect on mining or processing.”

And Kiwara board chairman Colin Bird expressed satisfaction with the findings of the report.

“We are extremely pleased that the follow-up work conducted has confirmed the initial result and our original prognosis. Having confirmed the results, we are currently defining the model prior to implementing an aggressive exploration programme,” said Bird.

Kiwara Plc is a mining exploration and development company, focusing on nickel, cobalt, copper and uranium. The company’s prime asset is an interest in mineral prospecting licence 267 which covers an area of 5,500 km on the periphery of the Kabombo dome in North Western Zambia.
