Namibia’s Kunene region has recorded 2 438 mining rights, highlighting a sharp rise in exploration activity as investors target one of Namibia’s least explored but most prospective mineral provinces, governor Vipuakuje Muharukua has said.
According to Muharukua, the region had 1 827 mining claims as of 24 June, comprising 486 granted claims and 1 341 applications, alongside 611 exclusive prospecting licences (EPLs), seven granted mining licences and several additional applications under review.
He says the growing number of mineral rights demonstrates increasing confidence in Kunene’s mineral endowment, which includes base metals, rare metals, precious metals, industrial minerals, dimension stone, gemstones and critical minerals.
