Angola
Moxico and Cuando Cubango Provinces
En novembre 2023, Ivanhoe Mines a obtenu 22 195 kilomètres carrés de droits de prospection de nouveaux projets pour l’exploration dans les provinces de Moxico et Cuando Cubango en Angola. L’ensemble conséquent de droits de prospection couvre un terrain d’exploration de cuivre de nouveaux projets très prospectifs. The greenfield area is covered by Kalahari sand and Karoo volcanics across much of the permitted area, similar to the Kamoa-Kakula licenses.
After receiving the required permitting, access to the licenses was first made by Ivanhoe’s geologists in août 2024. The team undertook a mapping and baseline soil geochemical sampling program over an area of 600 km2, which covered the same portion of the license flown by the airborne electromagnetic survey. A ground-based geophysics program was also completed, including Audio-frequency (AMT) and Magnetotellurics (MT) in conjunction with a Passive Seismic survey, down the eastern portion of the license area.
The results from the 2024 work streams continue to be analyzed, with several targets generated for the 2025 exploration program. Two diamond core drill rigs are planned to be mobilized mid-year 2025 to complete an initial 6,400-metre stratigraphic diamond drill program.
