Kaboko Mining  has been granted a trading halt by the ASX pending an update on its Zambian operations.

The company's shares are currently in pre-open.

Kaboko updated in the March quarterly that approximately 3,000 tonnes of high grade manganese ore was stockpiled on site at its Peco Manganese Mine, and an additional 20,000 tonnes of detrital over-burden is stockpiled for processing.

Importantly, sales of stockpiled ore had recommenced.

The halt will remain in place until the opening of trade on Friday 25th July 2015, or earlier if an announcement is made to the market.
