Kombat Copper Resumes Drilling at Kombat Mine

Kombat Copper Inc.(TSXV:KBT) announced that drilling has restarted at its 80% owned Kombat Mine in Namibia.

As quoted in the press release:

One diamond drill rig is currently operating at the Asis Far West (“AFW”) area close to the new 850 meter exploration and development shaft located within the Kombat mining licence. A series of five holes has been designed to confirm historical resources identified by previous owners and prove there is great expansion potential of the known copper ore body as the Company moves towards delivering a NI 43-101 compliant resource. The initial hole has a target depth of approximately 900m and is expected to be completed in February 2013. The remaining four holes will proceed uninterrupted.

Kombat’s President, Alexander Helmel, said:

Our initial drilling program was designed primarily to confirm known copper lead zinc silver resources and has only scratched the surface of the project.  Our team continues to execute its strategic plan to tap into the mine’s true potential and we feel positive that the Kombat mine has significant untapped mining potential at our finger tips and blue sky exploration potential yet to unlock shareholder value.
