Key findings
- The 1:1,000,000 map shows basement gneiss (about 56%), Kalahari sands (about 22%), Lower Roan (about 11%), Mine Series (about 9%) and pre-Katanga schist.
- North-east-trending faults cross the eastern part of the licence; gold small-scale mining licence 15117-HQ-SML is about 8 km away.
- Access is limited: the nearest road is about 9 km away and rail and power are over 160 km away.
Recommended next work
- Map the faulted Lower Roan–basement contact and visit the nearby gold mine.
- Run soil geochemistry along the faults and contacts outside the Kalahari cover.
- Assess access and water before committing to a field programme.
