INV Metals Inc announced the discovery of a new copper-silver prospect as a result of the Company's ongoing regional soil sampling program at the Kaoko property, located in northwest Namibia. The new prospect is located approximately 28 kilometers southeast of the Company's Okohongo copper and silver deposit.

The mineralized zone occurs discontinuously in outcrop over a potential strike length of 1.2 kilometers up to 10 meters wide. Twelve rock grab samples analyzed to date returned copper and silver values ranging from anomalous to 2.6% Cu and 1.7 to 84.0 gram per tonne Ag.

The copper mineralization consists of fine to coarse disseminated chalcocite and malachite within interbedded chloritic schists and dolomites. Due to complex folding related to dome and basin deformation and extensive calcrete cover, the true dimensions of the showings can not be determined from surface. The Company is formalizing plans for a comprehensive drill program to test the NS Showing.

The NS Showing occurs within the Okohongo horizon, the dominant copper mineralized unit on the Kaoko property and host to INV Metal's Okohongo Cu-Ag deposit located to the south.

Mr Robert Bell CEO of INV Metals said that "The discovery of the new NS Showing clearly demonstrates the widespread potential of the large and prospective Kaoko property to host multiple copper-silver deposits. Our ongoing exploration methodology consisting of systematic regional geochemical sampling, infill Niton XRF soil sampling, geological mapping and prospecting has identified several copper and silver occurrences to date and many of these are potential target areas for drilling this year."
