The orebody has a strike lenght of 8.000m with a max. width/down-dip extent of 2.000m. Average tickness around 5.7m with a maximum of 23m. (Freeman 1988)
Surface project plan of the Copperbelt Orebody Member-hosted orebodies of the Chambishi South East deposit. Fault traces and meter isopachs (black contours) of the Mindola Clastics Formation define the footwall basin geometry. Highest-grade copper mineralization coincides with complex, three-dimensional, subbasin terminations (footwall pinch-outs) and fault zones that controlled Mindola Clastics Formation sedimentation. The central barren gap coincides with a lateral facies change in the Copperbelt Orebody Member from dolomitic siltstone to microbially laminated carbonate atop a basement high.
