Steinhausen

  • The Steinhausen project is in central Namibia, surrounding the Omitiomire deposit. The project area stretches northeastwards from Windhoek, to cover an area of 7,000 km²  Click here to view the Steinhausen tenements
  • The Ekuja Dome is considered to have the greatest potential for further discoveries of Omitiomire-type deposits, such as the Barreshagen prospect, 10 km southwest of Omitiomire.
  • The project area has little outcrop and is covered by Kalahari Group sands. Craton has engaged consultants to carry out structural mapping and interpretation of geophysical data-sets to better understand the geology and the mineralisation potential of the region.
  • Geophysical interpretation has identified six other possible basement domes, providing Omitiomire-type target areas to be explored.
  • Known mineralisation also occurs within the project area as stratabound copper occurrences at the Waaihoek, Oorlogsdeel, Vrolikheid, Talana and Karamba prospects.
  • Two new EPL applications have been taken out over prospective ground to the south-west as interpreted from the regional geophysics. This area also has potential for massive base metal sulphide deposits associated with magnetite quartzite bodies within the Matchless Belt. Small clusters of known deposits occur along the length of the EPL applications.

  • The Company’s strategy for the project area will focus on known copper occurrences, in particular to determine the discovery potential elsewhere in the Ekuja Dome and to test the known stratabound copper prospects.
