Active

Small, highly accessible licence 11 km north-west of Kabwe on the contact between basement gneiss and Katanga Mine Series rocks, a few kilometres from the Kabwe (Broken Hill) lead–zinc deposits; the ground is irrigated farmland.

Key findings

The 1:1,000,000 map shows basement gneiss (about 80%) and Katanga Mine Series (about 20%), with their contact crossing the licence.
MRDS lists the Camarnor lead–zinc–vanadium deposit about 6 km away and Broken Hill about 9 km away; no gold is recorded within 25 km.
Excellent logistics, but centre-pivot irrigation covers most of the licence and hides bedrock.

Recommended next work

Test the basement–Katanga contact for base metals with soil geochemistry, timed around the farming calendar.
Use ground magnetics to trace the contact under cover.
