Appointment of Chief Operating
Officer
Kavango Resources plc (LSE:KAV), the Southern

that non-executive director Alexandra (Alex) Rose Gorman has agreed
to take on the full time executive role of Chief Operating Officer.

able to manage the group's operations and enable continued focus on
delivering value to shareholders.
David Smith,
Chairman of Kavango Resources, commented:
"In her
relatively short time with Kavango since she joined us as a
non-executive Director Alex has impressed the board and other
stakeholders with her directness, drive and energy. We are
delighted she has agreed to move to a senior operational role
within the group; we are confident that her combination of a
technical geological background, familiarity with our projects in
Botswana and Zimbabwe, and her knowledge of the mining industry
generally, will be a real benefit to the Company in what we believe
will be an exciting year for us."

directors

Non- Executive Director of Kavango, during which time she has been
involved in both technical decisions and long term strategic
