Kombat Copper Inc. reported that drilling has resumed at its 80% owned Kombat Mine in Namibia and expects to deliver 2012 drilling results shortly. One diamond drill rig is currently operating at the Asis Far West area close to the new 850 meter exploration and development shaft located within the Kombat mining licence. A series of five holes has been designed to confirm historical resources identified by previous owners and prove there is great expansion potential of the known copper ore body as the company moves towards delivering a NI 43-101 compliant resource.

The initial hole has a target depth of approximately 900m and is expected to be completed in February 2013. The remaining four holes will proceed uninterrupted. The company completed its initial diamond drilling program consisting of seven (7) holes totaling 1437 metres in December 2012.

These holes were designed to confirm historical copper-lead-zinc-silver mineralization within the eastern near-surface portion of the main Kombat orebody located 3 km east of the AFW shaft. Prior to seasonal shutdown, the Company submitted over 600 samples to the Bureau Veritas Laboratory whilst the remaining samples are being processed for shipping and assay. Results from this program are forthcoming.
