Leviathan Metals receives initial assay results from its diamond drilling program at the Central Project, Kalahari Copper Belt, Botswana

(TSXV:LVX-V) Leviathan Metals Corp. reported initial assay results from its diamond drilling program at the 100%-owned Central Project in the Kalahari Copper Belt, Botswana. Results have been received for targeted horizons within 6 holes, including 2.3 meters at 0.15% copper from 228 meters in hole CEN_DD_003, 1.0 meter at 0.1% copper and 5 g/t silver from 162 meters in hole CEN_DD_009, 1.06 meters at 0.2% copper and 10.91 g/t silver from 116.8 meters in hole CEN_DD_016, and 1.29 meters at 0.47% copper and 11.9 g/t silver from 142.9 meters in hole CEN_DD_017. The reported results fall within a geological envelope measuring over 4 kilometers in length. At the time of writing, slightly over 7,000 meters of drilling have been completed at Central across twenty-six holes. The drill program encountered the DKF-NPF contact in almost every hole, and all but two drill holes display visual copper sulphide mineralization. The domal structure previously inferred from geophysical data is confirmed by drilling data. Lead and zinc are also present in anomalous amounts in the reported intervals, considered a favorable zoning indicator. Drill holes and intercepts are detailed in Table 1 and Table 2, with collar positions and intercepts at 0.1% and 0.05% copper cut-off grades. Notable intercepts include CEN_DD_003 (2.3m @ 0.15% Cu, 0.01% Pb, 0.01% Zn), CEN_DD_009 (1.0m @ 0.1% Cu, 5.00 g/t Ag, 0.76% Pb, 0.15% Zn), CEN_DD_016 (1.1m @ 0.22% Cu, 10.91 g/t Ag, 0.03% Pb, 0.03% Zn), and CEN_DD_017 (1.3m @ 0.47% Cu, 11.98 g/t Ag, 0.00% Pb, 0.01% Zn). The Central Project adjoins MMG’s Khoemacau group of deposits, which together with nearby zones were acquired by MMG Ltd in 2023 for US$1.9 billion. The Khoemacau group has combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 94Mt at 1.8% Cu and 22 g/t Ag, and Inferred Mineral Resources of 188Mt at 1.6% Cu and 20 g/t Ag. The Banana Zone, Zone 6, and Ophion have combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 33Mt at 1.4% Cu and 21 g/t Ag, and Inferred Mineral Resources of 141Mt at 0.9% Cu and 10 g/t Ag. Leviathan and its qualified person have not independently verified the information in respect of MMG’s Khoemacau group of deposits. The Central Project contains over 20 kilometers of the DKF-NPF contact, mainly around the Hyena Hills dome. Drilling was conducted by Mitchell Drilling International using a Sandvik DE710 diamond rig, with average core recovery for the program to date at 99%. Sample intervals averaged 93 cm, producing samples of 1 to 5 kg, which were analyzed at SGS geochemistry laboratory in Randfontein, South Africa. Leviathan inserted QAQC material at a rate of 12% of the sample stream, including 4 certified standards, 4 quartz blanks, and 4 field or laboratory duplicates per every 100 samples. QAQC sample results in copper mineralization that did not pass controls were re-assayed at an interval of 10 samples before and after the failed sample until results passed controls. Botswana is ranked #2 in Africa by the Fraser Institute (2024) for mining investment. The KCB is regarded by the USGS as one of the world’s most prospective areas for sediment-hosted copper deposits.
