(TSXV:LVX) offers early-stage exposure to one of the more geologically predictable copper districts in Africa. Its 100%-owned Central Project sits on Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt and shares a property boundary with MMG Limited's Khoemacau operations. Chief Operations Officer Jeremy Crozier said MMG acquired Khoemacau for $1.9 billion about two years ago and has since invested a further $900 million to double throughput. Those figures, as Crozier described them, frame the scale of the neighbouring system.\nThe company's case rests on a simple geological rule. Every known copper deposit on the belt sits at the same stratigraphic position, especially where the rocks are folded into structural domes. Regional magnetic data pointed Leviathan to a dome directly south of the Khoemacau cluster, inside the same corridor that hosts the belt's known deposits. Central had never been drilled before the company started in June 2026.\nThe first results support the model. A little over 6,000 metres of diamond core across 25 holes has intersected the target contact in 23 holes. Handheld XRF has detected copper in practically every hole. Lead and zinc, which typically accompany or surround copper in these systems, are also present. Crozier said this suggests the copper readings form part of a broader trend rather than isolated spot anomalies.\nThe critical caveat is grade. XRF is spot data, it is incomplete and it does not provide grades. Most laboratory assays are still outstanding. Until they arrive, investors are assessing geological confirmation rather than economic mineralisation.\nThe drilling has also sharpened the target. The fold is somewhat asymmetrical, and the northern limb has emerged as a structural system that the company views as a strong trap for copper. The 10,000-metre programme allows Leviathan to define and test targets in stages within the same...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
