Tshimbumbu
Introduction
The Tshimbumbu site is located south of Mutshatsha village about 56 km.
The agricultural service road which links the RN 39 to the Tshimbumbu site is largely in a very advanced state of disrepair.
The first 12 km are passable by vehicle, after this section of about 12 km we have a very dilapidated road with bridges already amortized. Beyond 30 km we take a small path that goes to the Tshimbumbu site.
The Tshimbumbu gold project is an early stage exploration play within a relatively remote and underexplored region of Katanga with promising indications for potential exploration success. The geological domain of the Proterozoic Kibarian mountain range is host to a number of gold deposits, some, multi-million-ounce deposits. The Mpokoto deposit (~650k Oz) which is located about 70km to the west is the closes known occurrence.

Tshimbumbu contains three Quartz veins almost parallel, all oriented East-West, and which extend over about 130-150 m.
The other two veins are not visible because of the backfilling caused by the artisanal work.
