This drilling is in addition to 25 diamond drill holes drilled by Roan Selection Trust, Zamanglo and JCI in the Nama area and on the flank of the Konkola dome and 23 auger holes drilled by Roan Selection Trust.Įxploration by Caledonia and its predecessors has identified 18 targets of which seven have been drilled to a greater or lesser extent. The drilling amounted to 323 reverse circulation holes totalling 38,119 metres followed by five diamond drill holes totalling 1445m. The area is underlain by strata of the Katanga Supergroup but paucity of outcrop and structural complexity has prevented accurate correlation of the stratigraphy intersected in the boreholes except that distinct mixtite units can be correlated with the lower Kundelungu Group.Ĭaledonia started operations in the area in 1994 and in the ensuing years acquired five Prospecting Licences and undertook an exploration programme commencing with soil sampling supported by airborne geophysical surveys and concluded with a drilling campaign. It lies on the northwestern flank of the Zambian Copperbelt and has potential for high tonnage, low-grade cobalt-copper-nickel mineralisation.
