Kalahari Copperbelt

The Kalahari Copperbelt Project covers three distinct geological domains, all of which contain historic copper mines or prospects.

• Within EPL 3584, the Kagas Member of the Klein Aub Formation, which has been interpreted to be laterally equivalent to the sediment-hosted Zambian Copperbelt, contains regionally-extensive copper geochemical anomalies covering a strike length of over 60 km.

• EPL 4039 covers the Rehoboth Inlier, which forms the basement rocks of the Kalahari Craton on which the Damara Sequence was deposited. The Eindpaal prospect is hosted by intense potassic altered basement rocks similar to porphyry copper-style deposits.

• At the Sib prospect, in EPL 4055, sandstone-hosted copper mineralisation is exposed as two beds in a number of shallow prospecting trenches along several hundred metres of strike length.
IBML’s exploration programme has involved detailed geological mapping and soil geochemical surveys aimed at delineating and prioritising targets for further work.
