Kalengwa South - Zambian Copperbelt (sitios de interés)

Area not defined

 

(50km South of Kalengwa) 

 

 

At Karibarembi, Anglo completed extensive geophysical surveys including drilling (13 diamond drill holes) with the best intersection of 0.75 meters at 22% copper reported. No analysis for gold seems to have been completed however there is scheelite, copper and pyrite and refractured quartz veining within breccias in the area.

Shirembwe hosts numerous malachite stained boulders. Some trenching has been completed but results are not known at this stage. Further investigation is continuing. Chimena has over 140 wagon wheel drillholes and three diamond drillholes with copper mineralisation visible. In 1991 Watts Griffis McOuat, an independent firm of consulting geologists and engineers, considered in an independent review that the area may have potential for Carlin-style gold mineralisation based upon the widespread hydrothermal silicification and sulphide mineralisation. Additionally the carbonate rocks in Kundelungu, with high levels of sulphidation and late tectonic acid intrusive may lead to high grade skarn mineralisation not yet explored for.
