Epembe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Epembe project is a niobium-tantalum-uranium deposit located in Namibia\u2019s Kunene Region, roughly 100 km north of Opuwo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malachite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The widespread and intense malachite mineralization at \u201cMalachite Mountain\u201d was discovered in 2012 and tested with diamond drilling between 2013 and 2015, yielding broad copper intercepts. The project aims at a low-cost tank leach operation to produce copper sulphate or metal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oluliwa Manganese <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovered by Kunene Resources in 2013, the stratiform (SEDEX) Olulilwa Manganese Project underwent a comprehensive exploration program, including detailed surface mapping and diamond drilling. The project was evaluated for its technical and financial feasibility to develop a small-scale open-pit mine and build a pilot plant to produce manganese concentrate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Streilrand Barite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

White, high-quality (\u201cfiller grade\u201d) barite was discovered as a stratabound mineralization in Nosib sandstones on top of the Steilrand Mountains and underwent mapping and diamond drilling. The project was evaluated for its technical and financial feasibility to develop small-scale open-pit mines or a larger underground mine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
