Why East Africa?

• West Africa is a crowded neighbourhood

• Favourable geology:

  • A number of greenstone belts with stratigraphic and structural attributes favourable for gold mineralisation
  • Current Artisanal gold mining being a positive factor
  • Presence of granites and recent sediments with geological and radiometric characteristics favourable for uranium mineralisation
  • Part of a craton with diamondiferous kimberlite potential.

• Little or no previous exploration carried out

  • South Sudan is considered “Terra Incognita” with regards to economic geology; this happens to be a specialty of NKEM who boast a collective team of specialists who are seasoned in true greenfields exploration in Africa with a number of world-class deposits under their belt.

• Opportunity to open new frontier mineral provinces

  • Our team of specialists have been intimately involved in the discovery and development of a number of resources throughout the continent. We have recognised the potential in South Sudan for a number of years and have focussed since 2006 on a number of areas that show good mining potential
  • Satellite imagery and airborne magnetic interpretations of recently acquired data supported by reconnaissance mapping and the demarcation of a number of greenstone belts with favourable structures is a huge boost to early stage exploration.

• A great opportunity exists to open a new frontier mineral province in East Africa

  • Acquisition of geological maps and literature on several on several other African countries has allowed for good early stage assessments of their mineral profitability.
