Project Description
Otjisazu is characterized by a fairy large carbonatite body with dimensions of 2 by 2 km and is associated with a granitic rocks and amphibolitic marble. The whole body appears to have intruded into the surrounding quartz-biotite schists.
Geochemical Survey identified two areas of threshold values of 100 ppm Cu and showed that anomalous copper values in excess of 200 ppm that corresponds with anomalous phosphate of up to 3%. P2O5 values determined from wagon drillhole samples ranged between 3 and 9% to a depth of 30 m giving an indicated reserve of at least 35 million tons ore.
