Belararox has identified over 20 copper and zinc anomalies in Botswana’s Kalahari Copper Belt Project through soil sampling. The company plans to conduct geophysical surveys to refine drill targets for a 2,000-meter drill program starting in July 2025, strategically located near existing copper mines.
Belararox (ASX: BRX) has identified over 20 copper and zinc anomalies at its Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB) Project in Botswana through soil sampling. These anomalies span six tenements and correlate well with existing geological data. A review indicates three areas of increased prospectivity aligned with known copper deposits.
The company is set to conduct various surveys: AMT and ground-based gravity surveys in two regions and airborne electromagnetic surveys in a third region. These efforts aim to refine drill targets for an anticipated 2,000-meter reverse circulation (RC) drilling program, scheduled for July 2025, to test the identified prospects. The KCB Project’s location is near notable copper deposits like Sandfire’s Motheo Mine and MMG’s Khoemacau Mine.
Soil sampling activities included collecting and analyzing 1,984 samples across six tenements in the north-eastern KCB area, utilizing pXRF Vanta technology. Validation of the data was achieved by comparing it with wet chemistry analysis at the ALS-Johannesburg lab. Additionally, Fathom Geophysics processed publicly available geophysical data to identify deeper structural maps.
Exploration focuses on three main regions: the north-eastern area around Maun, the central zone near MMG’s Khoemacau Hub, and the western area close to Cobre’s Kitlanya West and Ngami prospects. Surveys planned include ground gravity surveys for tenements PL0085, PL2742, and PL2746; AMT surveys for PL770, PL771, and PL772; and airborne EM surveys for PL773 and PL2743. The intention is to pinpoint high-potential targets for future drill testing, possibly including diamond drilling to assess target units and stratigraphy.
Belararox has made significant headway in identifying copper targets at its Kalahari Copper Belt Project in Botswana, utilizing thorough soil sampling and data analysis. The planned geophysical surveys and drilling endeavors are strategically aimed at refining and testing these prospects, with drilling slated to begin in July 2025. This activity underscores the project’s potential value, given its proximity to existing high-grade copper mines.
