Aldoro Resources Ltd is advancing its flagship Kameelburg Project in Namibia, focusing on critical minerals such as niobium and rare earth elements (REE).

The project spans 1,017 square kilometres and is centered on a massive carbonatite structure described by Aldoro as “1.4km in diameter, rising 270m above ground”.

According to Aldoro, “notable niobium sample assays include 10.38% Nb₂O₅ and 6.22% Nb₂O₅,” while REE samples recorded up to 9.89% TREO. 

These results are derived from over 120 rock chip samples and a detailed magnetic survey that targeted key areas of interest.

Aldoro noted that the survey’s findings “provide ample confidence leading up to maiden drilling mainly targeting niobium-rich dykes”.

The Kameelburg Project is being developed in multiple stages, stage 1 is focused on preparation, with Aldoro confirming that “access tracks cleared from the main road to niobium drill target site” are in place.

Stage 2 will involve a maiden diamond drilling programme, targeting “a total of 10 diamond drill holes planned at 200m lengths,” set to commence by the end of Q3 2024, subject to regulatory approvals. 

Looking ahead, Stage 3 will expand the program to “up to 150 diamond drill holes” to assess both niobium and REE deposits more comprehensively.

Aldoro highlighted the project’s logistical advantages, emphasising that it is situated in a “mining-friendly jurisdiction” with “power, rail, and road all running through the Kameelburg Project location.” 

The project is also within reach of Walvis Bay Port, providing access to international markets. Such infrastructure is expected to play a vital role in supporting the large-scale exploration and eventual development of the site.

In its strategy for Kameelburg, Aldoro reiterated its commitment to “unlock full value of the giant Kameelburg carbonatite” through systematic exploration and potential partnerships. 

Niobium is used in alloys including stainless steel.
