Dig Deep Exploring the Virgin Territory of Botswana Using Remote Sensing Technology with Ben Turney
In this episode, we chat with Ben Turney, CEO of Kavango Resources - a mineral exploration company listed on the London Stock Exchange focused on mining within the friendly jurisdiction of Botswana.
Ben has a background in the financial markets and also worked as an investigative writer so has been involved in many transactions within the mining industry. He is going to tell us about Kavango Resources and give us an update on the exciting things they are involved in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Kavango Resources is a single jurisdiction business with 15,000 sq. kilometers, in Botswana, set across several geological regions.
- The fact that 70% of the country is desert has restricted historic exploration. So, there is a lot of potential.
- Modern remote sensing technology is penetrating the deep sand and uncovering opportunities.
- Successfully deploying new technology has given Kavango a real competitive edge.
- Kavango plans to focus on making discoveries, then, selling them. Keeping things simple and cashing in fast.
- In Nov 2020, they raised £2 million at £2.75 per share.
- Ben explains how he is using his knowledge of how the market works to protect and grow Kavango Resources the right way.
- Investing in small-cap exploration stocks is something you need to be careful with. But you really can make life-changing money.
BEST MOMENTS
‘While fire can nourish and sustain, it can also burn, so people have to be careful to understand the environment they are working in. ´
‘Botswana is largely virgin territory. Upgrades in remote sensing technology is helping explore it.’
‘I will do the right thing. I am not the sort of person to put my name, my reputation to a company that I didn´t truly believe in.’
