Independence brought to an end one of the most intractable and wasteful conflicts in the region. With independence, the people of Namibia not only gained political freedom, but set out on the challenging task of building a nation and defining their relations with the world. From the perspective of mediation, the role of the international community in bringing about Namibia's independence in general, and that of the United Nations in particular, was of a deep structural nature. -
Geology of the Kranzberg Syncline and Emplacement Controls of the Usakos Pegmatite Field, Damara Belt, Central Namibia
GEOLOGY OF THE KRANZBERG SYNCLINE AND EMPLACEMENT CONTROLS OF THE USAKOS PEGMATITE FIELD, DAMARA BELT, CENTRAL NAMIBIA by Geoffrey J. Owen Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Prof. Alex Kisters Faculty of Science Department of Earth Sciences March 2011 i DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitely otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: 15. February 2011 ii ABSTRACT The Central Zone (CZ) of the Damara belt in central Namibia is underlain by voluminous Pan-African granites and is host to numerous pegmatite occurrences, some of which have economic importance and have been mined extensively. This study discusses the occurrence, geometry, relative timing and emplacement mechanisms for the Usakos pegmatite field, located between the towns of Karibib and Usakos and within the core of the regional-scale Kranzberg syncline. Lithological mapping of the Kuiseb Formation in the core of the Kranzberg syncline identified four litho-units that form an up to 800 m thick succession of metaturbidites describing an overall coarsening upward trend. This coarsening upwards trend suggests sedimentation of the formation’s upper parts may have occurred during crustal convergence and basin closure between the Kalahari and Congo Cratons, rather than during continued spreading as previously thought. -

Bulk chemical analyses of slags were combined with detailed mineralogical investi- gation using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) and electron Editorial handling by R. Fuge microprobe (EPMA). The slags are significantly enriched in metals and metalloids: Pb (0.97–18.4 wt.%), Cu (0.49–12.2 wt.%), Zn (2.82–12.09 wt.%), Cd (12–6940 mg/kg), As (930–75,870 mg/kg) and Sb (67– 2175 mg/kg). Slags from the oldest technology are composed of primary Ca- and Pb-bearing feldspars, spinels, complex Cu–Fe and Cu–Cr oxides, delafossite–mcconnellite phases and Ca–Pb arsenates. -

Steven1*, F.P. Badenhorst2 & V.F.W. Petzel3 1Department of Geological Sciences, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7700, South Africa 2Navachab Gold Mine, Box 150, Karibib, Namibia 3Gold Fields Namibia, Box 3718, Windhoek, Namibia *Present Address: 10 Evergreen Lane, Constantia 7800, South Africa Historically, late Proterozoic/early Palaeozoic Pan-African terranes have never been large producers of gold. The discovery of Dama- ran carbonate- and skarn-hosted gold mineralisation in the Karibib District in the 1980s came as a major surprise and the Navachab Gold Mine (10.4 million tonnes at ~2.4 g/t Au; annual production of approximately 1800 kg of gold) was opened in 1989. Further exploration in central Namibia has subsequently revealed that the underlying mid-Proterozoic basement, Damaran mafic volcanic rocks and turbidite sequences are also prospective for gold. This paper presents a geological and geochemical data base that has been compiled for gold occurrences in the Northern and Central Zones of the Damara Orogen with particular reference to mineralisation in the Usakos-Karibib-Omaruru area. Introduction The geology of central Namibia with reference to gold mineralisation Interest in the gold potential of central Namibia was stimulated by a worldwide upsurge in gold exploration Central Namibia is essentially underlain by the inland, in the mid-1980s (Foster, 1993) and the discovery of NE-trending, ensialic branch of the well-documented Pan-African (late Proterozoic/early Palaeozoic) carbon- late Proterozoic/early Palaeozoic, Pan-African Damara ate and skarn-hosted gold mineralisation on the farm Orogen (Fig. -
