Abstract
The Rosh Pinah Pb-Zn mine is situated in the southwestern part of Namibia. The<br>deposit is stratabound in arkosic and quartzitic sediments of the Rosh Pinah<br>Formation which forms part of the late Proterozoic - early Palaeozoic Gariep Belt.<br>The sulphide ore is mostly disseminated comprising sphalerite, galena and pyrite.<br>A square 2km grid was geophysically surveyed to the south of the existing ore<br>fields, with the objectives of locating further ore bodies and providing guidelines<br>for future exploration.
