KAVANGO RESOURCES PLC

("Kavango" or "the Company")

Nara Completion Default

Kavango Resources plc (LSE:KAV, VFEX:KAV.VX), the Southern Africa focused metals exploration and gold production company, announced on 1 July 2025, that the Company had exercised the option ("Notice of Exercise") on 27 June 2025 to acquire 100% of the Nara Gold Project, Zimbabwe, consisting of 45 claims (the "Claims"), having entered into a Call Option Agreement with the seller Simon John Bowman ("Seller") dated 23 June 2023. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Exercise, the subsequent extension to Completion was to take place on 27 February 2026. The Seller has now defaulted on the agreed terms of the Call Option Agreement.

As the Seller has defaulted on the agreed terms of the Call Option Agreement and subsequent extension, the Company will now pursue all avenues to protect the interests of its shareholders, including but not limited to enforcing the contract and seeking compensation, and will announce further updates as appropriate.  

Whilst the Company embarks on claims against Mr Bowman and his operating company Romjack Mining (Private) Limited ("Romjack"), the Company will continue to increase gold production at the Hillside Gold Project and the farm-out of the Company's portfolio located in the Kalahari Copper Belt.
