Belararox (ASX: BRX) has commenced the 2025 field programme at the Kalahari Copper Belt Project (KCB) in Botswana acquired in July 2024.
An initial assessment of the prospectivity of KCB project tenements undertaken by the Company’s Principal Geoscientist Dr. Jacques Batumike has yielded positive results.
The review prioritised tenements interpreted to contain the D’Kar/Ngwako Pan (DKF/NPF) contact being the primary exploration target within the Kalahari Copper Belt together with targets located along strike from existing copper deposits.
The exploration strategy involves identifying sections of the contact that can be inferred from existing geophysical, geochemical and geological data or extrapolated from known mineralised zones into Belararox tenements.
The company has put in place a staged exploration strategy to explore the tenements in the KCB based on successful exploration activities within this belt by Sandfire Resources, Cobre Limited and MMG Limited’s Khoemacau discovery.
The proposed exploration activities will be covered in three main phases including target generation, target definition and target testing by drilling.
The 2025 exploration programme follows on from initial assessments of the Project targets and seeks to verify regolith mapping interpreted from Aster and Sentinel-2 data and conduct a soil sampling program in areas where AMT lines have been collected, and those tenements interpreted as having potential for shallow or outcropping target lithologies.
“The exploration team has identified compelling targets at our Kalahari Copper Belt Project,” Managing Director, Arvind Misra, said.
“We are excited to have commenced the on-site target generation programme and develop these targets for drill testing as soon as possible. KCB fits well with our approach that combines focused copper exploration and a proven team in regions rich with resources operated by global leaders, to position us for significant discoveries.”
Project Introduction
The Kalahari Copper Belt Project (KCP or Project) is situated within northern Botswana’s prolific Kalahari Copper Belt. The Project consists of 14 exploration licenses covering 4,268 sq. km of highly prospective geology known to host several world-class, sediment-hosted copper-silver deposits, most notably the producing operations, Motheo Mine and Boseto Mine, owned by Sandfire Resources and Khoemacau owned by MMG Limited respectively.
