Mr. Ipaheua Muhenje (herein referred to as the proponent), a Namibian citizen who applied for Mining Claims 71767 for prospecting and small-scale mining of Semi-Precious Stones, but now wishes to amend the Claim Application to include Base and Rare Metals (specifically Copper). Their aim is to take advantage of the opportunity for self-employment and job creation that exist in the small-scale mining sector of Namibia. The Mining Claims 71767 is situated within the meta-sediments and the plutonice of the coastal branch of the Damaran orogenic belt, the Kaokoveld oregon of Cambrian age (Missão de Pedologia, 1965; Miller, 2008). Damara Orogen rocks which forms part of Neoproterozoic orogenic belt comprises the Kaokoland or Kunene region.
