Highlights
Multiple areas identified for extensive geological assessment in the Kalahari Copper Belt.
Advanced geophysical analysis and soil sampling support planned drilling activities.
Well-positioned within a significant copper-producing region with ongoing exploration initiatives.
Mining Stock Belararox (ASX:BRX) is progressing its exploration initiatives within the Kalahari Copper Belt, a well-established region for copper mineralization in northern Botswana. Detailed examination of existing geological and geophysical datasets has led to the identification of multiple high-priority zones. Field activities, including systematic mapping and geochemical soil analysis, have outlined several areas across multiple tenements for further assessment.
Geophysical Data and Exploration Techniques
A structured exploration approach incorporates advanced geophysical methodologies, including magnetic and gravity surveys, processed with input from Fathom Geophysics. These techniques facilitate a deeper understanding of subsurface formations and mineralization trends. The geophysical assessment is supported by a soil sampling program, validated through wet chemistry analysis at ALS-Johannesburg, ensuring data accuracy and consistency.
Key Location within an Established Copper Region
The Kalahari Copper Belt has gained recognition as a region with extensive copper mining activity. The area includes large-scale operations such as MMG’s Khoemacau and Sandfire’s Motheo mines. Additional projects in proximity, including Cobre’s Kitlanya East and West, have seen continued exploration and investment from industry leaders. With exploration efforts in Botswana alongside ongoing work at the TMT project in Argentina, Belararox has expanded its reach into regions known for copper resources.
Exploration Strategy and Drilling Initiatives
A structured exploration plan integrates geophysical surveys with subsequent drilling programs, enabling efficient assessment of identified zones. The field team has outlined multiple targets for upcoming exploration, with a drilling program planned to advance geological understanding. The next phase involves a reverse circulation drilling campaign, set to begin in the coming months.
Commitment to Exploration and Resource Development
Belararox continues to focus on advancing geological assessments within the Kalahari Copper Belt. Ongoing efforts in data collection, field mapping, and drilling activities contribute to the broader understanding of copper mineralization in the region. These initiatives reinforce the company’s dedication to systematic exploration within a well-regarded copper district.
