AMIS0088 Copper sulphide, 0.32%, Omitiomire, Namibia

Origin of Material: AMIS0161 was made using run-of-mine oxide Cobalt-Copper ore from the Mukondo mine, owned and operated by BOSS Mining. The latter is a Joint Venture between the Central African Mining and Exploration Company (CAMEC), owned by Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (Africa) (ENRC), and the parastatal mining company GECAMINES. The mine is situated in Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo 50km northwest of Likasi, 160km northwest of the regional capital Lubumbashi and 95km east of Kolwezi. The Mukondo deposit is located in the Katangan part of the Neoproterozoic Central African Copperbelt, a world-class metallogenic province of sediment hosted Cu-Co deposits. Mineralisation is hosted within the Mines Series, a package of sediments comprising largely altered dolomite and dolomitic shale units. Two ore horizons are commonly present although the high grade cobalt ore at Mukondo is largely concentrated in the “Upper Orezone” hosted by the SDB, a strongly dolomitic sandy shale at the base of a largely dolomitic shale sequence. The Mukondo deposit comprises two fragments of the Mines Series that strike approximately east-west and dip to the north. These two rafts exhibit reversed stratigraphic sequences which may indicate they represent the limbs of an isoclinal, recumbent anticlinal fold the crest of which has been eroded.
