Title:

Swakop Uranium Husab Project, Specialist Soils and Land Capability Assessment

Publication Year:
2010
Abstract:

The proposed Swakop Uranium Husab Project is planned as open pit mining operation, and is being planned to exploit the resource at depth. The uranium mineralisation is hosted by a series of semi-conformable alkali feldspar granitic and pegmatitic dykes, intruding schists, quartzites and calc-silicate rocks that make up part of the Swakop Uranium Husab Formation. Lithological units including quartz-diopside calc-silicate units and quartz-biotite schists make up additional minor components of the mineralized strata included in the Swakop Uranium Husab South deposit. The mineralized zones are arranged around the limbs of local dome structures cored by amphibole and pyroxene bearing gneiss of the Khan Formation (Nosib Group).
