Application - Pending Document Verification

Exploration licence application near Mpongwe on Upper Roan dolomite and argillite, just above the copper-bearing Lower Roan; a 1968-map gold occurrence lies about 5 km away, but copper–cobalt is the more natural target.

Key findings

  • The 1:1,000,000 map shows Upper Roan across the licence; the Lower Roan contact is about 2 km to the south.
  • A 1968-map gold occurrence lies about 5 km west-south-west; USGS lists Baluba (Cu–Co) about 23 km away.
  • Roads reach the licence and power is about 5.5 km away; low dambo flats may waterlog in the rains.

Recommended next work

  • Run soil geochemistry transects for copper, cobalt and gold.
  • Use ground geophysics to trace the Lower Roan contact under cover.

Scores use 0–1 for composite and 0–100 for supporting factors. Screening scores are not resource estimates or probabilities of discovery.
