Description
Since the discovery of gold at Navachab, Karibib/Usakos area has been the centre of gold exploration.
A sample of limonite sampled from Sandamap North assayed 18.6 g/t Au. Additional sampling revealed the presence of a 2500 m long zone of auriferous, ferruginous and jarositic schist, ferruginous quartz veins, gossan stringers and zones of alteration. Ore minerals include native gold, loellingite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite and galena. Current reserves are estimated at 254 000 tons at an average grade of 5g/t. Estimate is based on the subvertical/steep-dipping ore body and calculation to the 100 m level.
