The Kalahari Copper Belt

Botswana & Namibia

  • The NE-trending Proterozoic belt, 800km long by up to 250km wide, stretches from northern Botswana into eastern Namibia
  • The Kalahari Copper Belt district is similar in setting to the Central African Copperbelt sediment-hosted deposits of Zambia and DRC
  • Outstanding potential has been hidden under Kalahari sand cover until recently
  • New discoveries have been made by a combination of airborne geophysics, geochemistry and drilling, with deposits principally occurring in structural dome settings

Among many significant discoveries are:

  • Cupric Canyon’s world-class Khoemacau Copper-Silver Project with a combined sulphide resource of 502Mt @ 1.4% Cu and 17g/t Ag, including 185Mt @ 2.0% Cu and 27g/t Ag
  • Sandfire Resources T3 deposit (36.0 Mt @ 1.14% Cu & 12.8g/t Ag), where an optimised feasibility study is in progress
  • Sandfire’s A4 Dome prospect where recent exceptional drill intercepts of 7.15m @ 16.0% Cu, 222.0g/t Ag and 12.40m @ 13.3% Cu, 232.8g/t Ag are reported
