Report: The Economic Geology Mineral Resources Information Series - an important first step to a successful mineral exploration programme
Extensive exploration and other mineral investigations have resulted in the generation of an enormous amount of data in the form of reports submitted to the Ministry of Mines and Energy by the various companies. The Economic Geology Mineral Resources Information Series is a compilation of reported and known mineral occurrences as contained in grant reports on Open File and other relevant publications, which was initiated with the objective to provide prospective investors with a comprehensive information overview on mineral occurrences in their area of interest, and to stimulate further exploration. To date reports have been completed for seven of the 44 1:250 000 sheets covering the country. Field verification to check locations and host rock geology is carried out on those deposits and occurrences, where existing descriptions are unclear or contradictory. It is anticipated that future compilations will reflect more recent fieldwork, as well as try to propagate current thinking/modelling on some of the deposits to suggest new lines for further exploration.
