.Namibia to be the. Pilbara of Battery metals.

The Pilbara of modern battery metals may one day be Namibia.
Anthony Viljoen, CEO of AfriTin, expressed that opinion to Mining Weekly during a Zoom interview.
“We’ve been prospecting and developing tin projects for the better half of 20 years almost and what I must say is that there’s something unique about Namibia.
“Not only is it one of the best destinations in Africa to invest in, but also the geology is just phenomenal, and I think it’s very much an overlooked province that has the potential to become, let’s call it, the Pilbara of new-age battery metals,” said Viljoen.
The Pilbara is a large, dry, thinly populated region in the north of Western Australia that is known for its vast deposits of particularly iron-ore.
Taken back to first geological principles, Viljoen highlighted how Namibia’s remarkable pegmatite belts extend for hundreds of kilometres, both inland and up the coast – “and they are basically blessed with a smorgasbord of different battery elements, all of which happen to be the flavour of the month”, he added.
