Kombat Copper Inc, listed on the TSX-V, has received assay results from nine addi- tional holes of its 35-hole diamond drill programme at the Kombat copper mine, located between Otavi and Grootfontein in northern Namibia. According to the company, the results observed to date continue to indicate a near-surface mineral resource. The initial drill hole programme is now complete and all samples for assay have been submitted to the laboratory. Highlights include Hole K15-010 which intersected 1,16 % Cu and 11,14 g/t Ag over a 19,25 m core length and Hole K15‑012, which intersected 1,37 % Cu and 14,77 g/t Ag over an 8,33 m core length. “The vast majority of the holes being reported are in what is known as the Central Pit area which saw very limited mining at the end of the mine life in 2006- 2007,” says Bill Nielsen, President and CEO of Kombat Copper. “Our results have expanded the known mineralisation to
