Kitlanya East Project
Highly prospective copper silver targets, located next door to the Motheo Production Hub
Kitlanya East is located immediately south of Sandfire Resources Motheo Production hub. The project is characterised by two drill tested large-scale anticlinal structures with preserved lower D’Kar Formation stratigraphy providing potential host rocks for analogues to the neighbouring T3 deposit.
The two main anticlinal target areas identified in detailed magnetic data, “Endurance” and “Perseverance”, are supported by encouraging copper, lead and zinc soil anomalies, folded trap-site features modelled from AEM data.
Drill tested lower D’Kar Formation stratigraphy with accompanying alteration and multi-generational veins add further support to the prospectivity of the targets.
Key Fact
- Targeting sediment hosted copper–silver deposits in doubly-plunging fold trapsites above the traditional D’Kar/Ngwako Pan Formation contact
Kitlanya East Copper Silver Project Timeline
2024:
- Licenses renewed by the Botswana Department of Mines
2023:
- Airborne gravity gradient (AGG) survey identifies potential sub-basins and targets for drill testing
2021:
- Target diamond and RC drilling (3,345m and 1,701m) identifies correct stratigraphy, encouraging alteration and trace mineralisation at Endurance.
2020:
- 1,730m stratigraphic drilling intersects lower D’Kar Formation, promising alteration and trace mineralisation on structures.
- AEM (1040km) and detailed magnetic survey (Perseverance) defines subtle folded trap-sites for drill testing.
- Phase 3 soil sampling identifies zinc and lead anomalies at Perseverance.
2019:
- Phase 2 soil sampling and AEM survey (527km) over Endurance identifies prominent copper anomalies and evidence of potential fold trap-sites.
2018:
- Phase 1 soil sampling and AEM test survey (100km).
Historical Data:
- High resolution magnetic coverage, TerraleachTM soil sample coverage (15,989 samples), diamond (1,020m) and percussion drilling.
