The Brandberg West exploration licence covers an area of approximately 35 000 ha located about 110km from Uis Mine.
The licence is unique because it offers diversification potential through tungsten and copper in addition to tin.
The planned exploration programme included drilling to investigate the mineralisation in the historical pit and the northern extension of the licence area.
The Brandberg West licence hosts a historical mine previously owned and operated by Gold Fields until its closure in 1980.
The mine operation started in 1957 and peaked in 1978 at an annual production of 1 249 tonnes of tin and tungsten concentrate.
The mine produced over 12 000 tonnes of tin and tungsten concentrate during its life.
