Overview of Kihabe-Nxuu Deposit

The Kihabe-Nxuu deposit contains multiple polymetallics that are in high demand and witnessing price surges. Moreover, these polymetallics have been included in the 2022 US critical metals list.   

The deposit is located within Botswana, which is a favourable jurisdiction with established sound political and social standards concerning mining practices that the company believes will enable expedited project development.

The company is focused on initially developing the Nxuu Deposit, which presents as a low risk, low cost, shallow, basin shaped deposit.
