This represents no discount to the offer price of Kavango's shares at close on Friday 06 May.

Highlights

-  Placing:

-  25,000,000 New Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") have been placed by First Equity Limited ("First Equity"), on behalf of the Company with institutional and other investors (the "Placing")

-  The Placing has been conducted at a price of 3p

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

"We received an offer from First Equity on Friday to raise money for Kavango over the weekend. We set a maximum limit of £750,000 and received offers to subscribe for nearly double this amount.

At this stage in Kavango's development, the additional working capital will support expanding our exploration programme. We are also conscious to manage dilution at this level. A number of work streams are nearing completion and we will be able to deploy the new funds quickly.

We would like to thank First Equity and their clients for their strong support ."
