Belararox has identified over 20 copper-zinc anomalies at its Kalahari Copper Belt Project in Botswana through soil sampling, revealing three highly prospective regions. Upcoming geophysical surveys are planned to refine drill targets ahead of a scheduled drilling program in July 2025, leveraging proximity to major copper mines.
Belararox (ASX: BRX) has identified over 20 prospective areas at its Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB) Project in Botswana through comprehensive soil sample geochemistry. These copper-zinc anomalies are distributed across six tenements. A thorough review of geological and geophysical data, including magnetics, gravity, and AMT, has revealed three highly prospective regions, strategically positioned along the strike of existing copper deposits.
The company is set to begin advanced geophysical surveys: AMT and ground-based gravity surveys in two areas and airborne electromagnetic surveys in a third location to refine drill targets. A 2,000-meter reverse circulation (RC) drill program is planned for July 2025 to explore these identified targets. The KCB Project benefits from its proximity to renowned copper ore bodies, such as Sandfire’s Motheo Copper Mine and MMG’s Khoemacau Mine.
The soil sampling campaign, covering six tenements in northeastern KCB, encompassed the analysis of 1,984 samples using the pXRF Vanta technique. Validation of data was conducted through wet chemistry analysis at the ALS-Johannesburg laboratory. Additionally, Fathom Geophysics processed publicly available geophysical data to elucidate deeper geological structures effectively.
Exploration efforts have been focused on three significant regions: the northeastern section around Maun, the central area near the MMG Khoemacau Hub, and the western zone adjacent to Cobre’s Kitlanya West and Ngami prospects. Planned surveys will include ground-based gravity assessments for PL0085, PL2742, and PL2746; AMT surveys for PL770, PL771, and PL772; as well as airborne electromagnetic surveys targeting PL773 and PL2743. These efforts target the identification of high-potential zones for drilling, with drilling activities expected to commence in July 2025, possibly extending to diamond drilling to refine the understanding of target units and their stratigraphy.
In summary, Belararox has successfully identified multiple copper-zinc anomalies at its Kalahari Copper Belt Project in Botswana, with plans to implement a systematic exploration program. The upcoming geophysical surveys aim to enhance the identification of drill targets for further exploration in July 2025. The strategic location of the KCB Project near established copper mines bolsters its potential for significant resource discovery.
