Verity Resources prepares for groundbreaking exploration in Botswana
Verity Resources, via its wholly owned subsidiary African Metals, is awaiting approval from the mining regulator of Botswana to commence its next phase of on-ground exploration at the Airstrip, Dibete, and Maibele North critical minerals projects.
The proposed exploration pitting and bulk sampling program will expose near-surface nickel-copper-silver-platinum group elements (PGE) mineralisation across 143 square kilometres, less than 10% of the company’s 1,800 sq km portfolio.
It will seek to validate previously identified mineralised zones at surface, refine drill targeting for subsequent campaigns, and inform processing options for future development planning.
The results will support detailed geological mapping and structural interpretation and provide the company with material for metallurgical testwork and targeted exploration.
Director Patrick Volpe said the company was keen to commence the next phase of exploration at the three projects.
“Our team has been working diligently to recommence on-ground activities as soon as the Department of Mines approvals are received,” he said.
“The strength of the historical dataset across Airstrip and Dibete, where multiple holes have returned bonanza-grade copper-silver intercepts at shallow depths, combined with a Maibele North resource that pre-dates the recent re-rating of nickel, copper, PGE and gold as critical metals, gives us strong conviction in the scale and quality of what we hold.”
“We see significant district-scale potential here, and the upcoming program is designed to validate near-surface mineralised zones, refine drill targeting, and provide meaningful news flow as we step back into the field.”
