Leviathan Metals Hits Target Stratigraphy and Copper Sulphides in 3,600m Central Drilling
Leviathan Metals Corp. has completed 14 diamond drill holes for approximately 3,600 metres at its 100%-owned Central Project in Botswana’s Kalahari Copper Belt, intersecting target stratigraphy in all but two holes and observing visual copper sulphides in eight.
The drilling program confirmed the presence of a domal structure at Central, with the north-western limb exhibiting marked veining, brecciation, and alteration. Copper sulphide minerals—including chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite—were observed in minor amounts over intervals of up to 10 metres or more in eight holes, accompanied by lead sulphide mineral galena.
In April 2026, Leviathan completed a high-resolution helicopter-borne electromagnetic survey covering over 20 kilometres of prospective D’Kar-Ngwako Pan Formation contact at the property.
“Right rocks, right place. We’ve hit the DKF–NPF contact in almost every hole, seen visual copper sulphides in the majority of holes, and demonstrated the presence of a previously untested domal structure on Central, all in the opening stages of our program. Sitting next to MMG’s Khoemacau Mine and hosting more than 20 kilometres of contact in one of the world’s most prominent copper belts gives us real discovery and scale potential”
— Luke Norman, Chief Executive Officer
Core cutting, sampling, and laboratory analysis are ongoing, supported by a portable XRF analyzer for rapid multi-element geochemical screening while laboratory assays are pending. Step-out drilling will target zones of greatest interest following receipt of sample analyses, with further holes remaining in progress on the dome's nose and both limbs. Assay results from the initial fourteen holes are expected in due course.
