The Call Option had an initial term of six months, expiring 24 January 2024.\n\nBased on technical data gathered from exploration of Hillside, including initial core review, Kavango had intended to exercise the option tomorrow.\n\nHowever, as a result of uncertainty surrounding the impact of recent changes to the Finance Act in Zimbabwe, and specifically the imposition of a mining ‘Special Capital Gains Tax’, the Sellers and Kavango have agreed to enter into an Addendum to the Call Option to extend the period for exercise of the option by 90 days, to allow the impact of these changes to be reviewed by both parties.\n\nIn the meantime, Kavango continues exploration and drilling at Hillside. The Company will release an update on this shortly.\n\nFurther information in respect of the Company and its business interests is provided on the Company’s website at www.kavangoresources.com and on Twitter at #KAV.\n\nFor further information please contact:\n\nKavango Resources plc\n\nBen Turney\n\n+46 7697 406 06\n\nFirst Equity (Broker)\n\n+44 207 374 2212\n\nJason Robertson"}
