Mining
Okapi Resources (ASX:OKR) is an Australian minerals exploration company focused in the Kimberley Goldfields of Western Australia and the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC).
Its Mambasa Gold Project contains several historical colonial gold workings and is similar to other large-scale gold and mineral deposits within the region including AngloGold Ashanti’s 20Moz Geita mine in Tanzania and Loncor Resources Inc’s recently defined 1Moz Makapela and 1.9Moz Adumbi gold projects.
In addition, Okapi has commenced due diligence and secured an option agreement to earn a 70 per cent stake in two copper-cobalt projects — Tenke and Ntondo projects– within the DRC Katanga province. The Democratic Republic of the Congo accounts for more than half the world’s cobalt supply.
