SUCCESSFUL WORKSHOP GENERATES SUB-POJECT

Some fifty representatives from exploration and mining companies as well as researchers and students gathered in Windhoek, Namibia, in June to discuss the copper rich zone that outcrops right outside the capital. In conjunction to the workshop, a Swedish student initiated her MSc-thesis in order to further understand the formation of the Matchless Belt. The project is based at Uppsala University (UU) in Sweden in cooperation with the University of Namibia (UNAM).
