Makaha Deposit
- Full name:
- Makaha Deposit
- Mwana interest:
- Mwana Africa has 100% ownership of the Makaha Deposit.
- Geology and history:
- Situated 140km north-east of Harare, this deposit has an indicated resource of 9.2Mt at a grade of 1.2g/t. Open in depth with oxidised mineralisation up to 50m in width, Makaha would lend itself to open-pit mining.
- Current status and prospects:
- The work programme is under review. Metallurgical test work will precede a pre-feasibility study but no work was planned for 2007. With Maligreen, under the economic conditions prevailing in Zimbabwe, no investment will be made to bring the mine back into production.
