Very large exploration licence (about 1,970 km²) between Kasama and Luwingu, mostly granite with belts of Muva quartzite and banded gneiss; it offers district-scale coverage, but there is no known gold within 25 km.

Key findings

  • The 1:1,000,000 map shows granite (about 68%), Muva lower quartzite (about 18%) and basement gneiss (about 13%), with no faults inside the licence.
  • The nearest 1968-map gold occurrence is about 70 km away.
  • Roads and a power line reach the licence and rail is about 39 km away, but its remoter parts are far from roads.

Recommended next work

  • Start with a regional stream-sediment survey to cut the licence down to a few target catchments.
  • Map the granite–quartzite and granite–gneiss contacts within the anomalous catchments.
