# KAO: 15,000m drill program and Donkey Hill extended by 700m Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/kao-15-000m-drill-program-and-donkey-hill-extended-by-700m--a26f9129-d36a-49be-be8b-8f163414a445 Original source: https://www.asx.com.au/asx/v2/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=pdf&idsId=03143050 Publisher: asx Original announcement: 2026-09-23T22:17:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-09-23T23:19:50.441Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-09-23T23:19:50.441Z - Company: Kaoko Metals Limited - Ticker: KAO - Exchange: ASX - Region: Namibia - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-23 23:19:51 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.70 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Kaoko Metals Limited announced an expanded 15,000m drill program at its Chalkos Copper-Silver Project in Namibia, following initial success at Otniel and a new surface discovery at Donkey Hill East. The company reported high-grade rock chip samples, including one exceeding 50% Cu, which extended the known mineralized trend at Donkey Hill East by over 700m. A second drill rig has been mobilized to Donkey Hill to accelerate exploration, with assay results for the first two Otniel drill holes anticipated within 2-3 weeks. Reasoning: The company announced a significant expansion of its drill program and a new high-grade surface copper discovery at Donkey Hill East, extending the known mineralized trend. While drill results are pending, the very high-grade surface samples indicate strong exploration potential. - Positive factor: Expanded drill program announced - Positive factor: New high-grade surface copper discovery - Positive factor: Mineralized trend extended by 700m - Positive factor: Second drill rig mobilized - Positive factor: Bonanza grade rock chip sample \(>50% Cu\) - Negative factor: No drill results reported yet - Negative factor: Rock chip samples are not representative of average grade or subsurface continuity - Negative factor: Comparison to prior drill results not applicable due to different project and sample type Facts used in scoring: 56 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release details QA/QC procedures including accredited laboratory, standards, blanks, duplicates, and CRM samples. Evidence · text > The laboratory is accredited and uses its own certified reference material as part of their own QA/QC. Its standard protocol includes two duplicates, two replicates, one standard and one blank per 50 assays. The Company also submits their own CRM samples for QAQC at a rate of 1 CRM per 20 samples. **JORC Compliant** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The report explicitly states compliance with the JORC Code \(2012 Edition\) for reporting exploration results. Evidence · text > JORC CODE \(2012 EDITION\) FOR THE REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Sample Z2516 reported a copper grade exceeding 50%, which is exceptionally high for copper. Evidence · table > >50\* Context: Z2516 **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The document reports surface rock chip samples, which do not have associated drill intercept lengths or true widths. Evidence · text > Rock-chip results reported in this announcement are from selected surface samples. They are not representative of the average grade of mineralisation across the mapped footprint and should not be interpreted as indicative of subsurface grade or continuity. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 56.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
