VANCOUVER, March 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Kombat Copper Inc. (the "Company") (TSX.V: KBT) is pleased to report that Company geologists have identified and
commenced work on priority copper targets within its Exclusive
Prospecting Licences ("EPLs"). The Company's EPL's are located in the
highly prospective Otavi Mountainland of northern Namibia. Please refer
to attached diagram.
At EPL 3941, diamond drilling is now underway to test the down dip
extension of the "Domingo I showing" approximately 3 kilometres to the
south-southeast from the Tsumeb mine and located on the south limb of
the Tsumeb syncline. The Domingo I showing consists of dolostone
outcrop with chalcopyrite and galena mineralisation and the drill
target is based on characteristics similar to surface geology at the
world famous Tsumeb mine.
A second priority drilling target has been established on EPL 3942;
approximately 1.3 kilometres to the east of the Domingo showing.
Heckers Breccia, also known as "Domingo III" a strongly silicified
chert breccia with copper oxide mineralisation in the form of malachite
and chalcocite lies along the south limb of the Tsumeb syncline
approximately 4.5 kilometres from the Tsumeb mine. It has been
identified as a priority target due to its proximity to Domingo I and
the Tsumeb mine. This target is being tested with a short Rotary Air
Blast ("RAB") drilling program.
Mr. Alexander Helmel, the Company's President states: "We are excited to
begin exploration on these EPLs. Historical information and existing
mineralisation on both ours and neighbouring EPLs lead us to believe we
have some very significant targets which have yet to be adequately
tested. We look forward to releasing positive results at the completion
of these exploration programs."
Qualified Person
Mr. Colin Russell, P.Geo., the Qualified Person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the design of the program, and
all exploration work on the Kombat Project will be done under his
supervision. Mr. Russell has read and approved the technical content of
this news release.
