Peco Project

The Peco Project is located 65 km east-northeast of the town of Mansa town, in the northern Luapula Province of Zambia.

Kaboko has completed ground magnetic and radiometric surveys over the project area. These surveys identified a number of follow up targets and also exposed more than eight old exploration trenches (exposing manganese mineralization) and artisanal mine workings. Drilling at the Peco Project is scheduled to commence in late 2011.

Mining is by conventional truck and shovel open pit mining methods. Due to the extent and strike of the identified manganese mineralisation on the Chowa Mining Lease deposit, the initial top 10m layer of material is weathered and is amenable to ripping and free dig. The remaining 20-40 m layer of waste and manganese mineralisation will be drilled and blasted.
