Kapako is a copper exploration project in the North-Western Province of Zambia, approximately 145 km from Solwezi, positioned inside the Central African Copperbelt — the world's premier sediment-hosted copper province — and within 10 km of the ultra-high-grade Kipushi Cu–Zn deposit across the DRC border.
The project consolidates two contiguous small-scale exploration licences totalling 889.94 hectares: 32889-HQ-SEL, held in a 75/25 joint venture between Geophysics Explo Zambia Ltd and Her Royal Chieftainess Chikola, and 38945-HQ-SEL, held 100% by Geophysics Explo Zambia Ltd. The project is advanced in joint venture with Jimbe Minerals.
Systematic exploration — more than 3,000 soil samples on a 50 m grid, 91 line-km of ground magnetics and detailed induced polarisation — has defined a 2 km NNE-trending copper anomaly with coincident manganese, lead and zinc, controlled by the main NNE structure. An extensive diamond drilling campaign has confirmed chalcopyrite mineralisation, including massive chalcopyrite in carbonate veins and bedding-parallel sulphides in dolomitic siltstone — classic Copperbelt-style hosts.
Inside the World's Premier Copper Province
The Central African Copperbelt hosts the greatest concentration of sediment-hosted copper deposits on Earth, and Kapako sits squarely within it. The ultra-high-grade Kipushi Cu–Zn deposit lies within 10 km of the project across the DRC border — a powerful indicator of the fertility of the surrounding stratigraphy and structures.
The project is reached from Solwezi, the commercial hub of Zambia's new Copperbelt and service centre for the Kansanshi, Lumwana and Kalumbila mining operations.
A 2 km Structurally Controlled Copper Trend
Copperbelt-Style Mineralisation Confirmed
An extensive diamond drilling campaign — more than 35 holes completed, with the programme ongoing — has tested the coincident soil and IP anomalies. Mineralisation is dominantly chalcopyrite with secondary chalcocite rimming pyrite, occurring as fine bedding-parallel disseminations in dolomitic siltstone, and as carbonate veins carrying massive chalcopyrite, with malachite in the sparse oxide zone.
These are the hallmark textures and hosts of the Central African Copperbelt's sediment-hosted deposits. The soil anomaly straddles the IP chargeability-and-resistivity anomaly, and structural measurements on the mineralised veins define a consistent orientation — supporting a coherent, structurally controlled system.
