About Katete Exploration Project
Project Description
INTRODUCTION. license was issued to Alcor International Limited on 1st July, 2021, after which a certificate of the large exploration license was collected from the mining cadastre office. The area lies in the Mozambique Belt which is underlain by the quartzo-feldspathic gneiss and minor quartzite Wich cover almost the entire license. The license area is the prospective for copper, gold, graphite, cobalt, iron ore, lead, nickel, beryl and zinc, were the license holder has special interest in Gold, FLD, QTZ potential of the area. The license number 28899-HQ-SEL is located within katete district, eastern province Zambia, the access to the area is via T4( great east road) which runs from Lusaka to Nyimba mission, then branches of into a gravel road right of chisambo leading to the license area.
Project History
Most of the exploration in and around the license area was done by the Geological Survey Department of Zambia. Tardis Mining Solutions limited was endorsed by Alcor International Limited to perform some geological works and produce the Quarterly report for the license 28899-HQ-SEL.
OVERVIEW
The license lies in Mozambique Belt which has observed rocks include medium to high grade series of Gneisses and Schist, Granite intrusions such as ; Chipata Granite, Chipalapata Granite and Sinda Granite ( youngest, 510Ma). It is a brown field, were data of the license was collected through compiled historical information from ZCCM-IH archives as well as on information from other historical documents held at the chamber of mines library. Not only that but , other useful sources of information were obtained from the Geological Survey Department in the ministry of mines and Mineral Development, in which most of the exploration in and around the area was done by the Geological Survey Department. The mineralization types of Mozambique Belt of Eastern Zambia include: magmatic, Volcanogenic, Hydrothermal, pegmatitic and placer deposit in which various mineral Deposits occuring in above rock types are : paragneisses and Amphibolites( Zn, Cu), Schist and Meta volcanics ( Au, Cu, Ga), Quartz Veins ( Au, Cu, Bi). To compile and analyze the past works on the area Alcor International Limited endorsed TARDIS Mining Solutions Limited and also initiated MineHub Africa for technical support. Not much work has been done yet, the license holder is looking forward to improve the area by doing more exploration.
