A ca. 200Ma hiatus between the Lower and Upper Transvaal Groups of southern Africa: SHRIMP U–Pb detrital zircon evidence from the Segwagwa Group, Botswana: Implications for Palaeoproterozoic glaciations

Mapeo, R.B.M.; Armstrong, R.A.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Modisi, M.P.; Ramokate, L.V.; Modie, B.N.J. (Elsevier B.V. www.elsevier.com/locate/epsl, 2006)

The Segwagwa Group of southeastern Botswana, a correlate of the Pretoria Group of the Transvaal Supergroup of South Africa, consists of a major sequence of siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, minor carbonates and basaltic ...

Origin and palaeo-environments of calcareous sediments' in the Moshaweng dry valley, Southeast Botswana

Ringrose, S.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Vink, B.W.; Matheson, W.; Downey, W.S. (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117935722/grouphome/home.html, 2002)

Quaternary sedimentation in the Moshaweng dry valley of southeastern Botswana is evaluated on the basis of geomorphological evolution and sedimentological analyses. Stratigraphic evidence reveals an 'upper surface (1095 ...

The Okwa basement complex, western Botswana: U–Pb zircon geochronology and implications for Eburnean processes in southern Africa

Mapeo, R.B.M.; Ramokate, L.V.; Corfu, F.; Davis, D.W.; Kampunzu, A.B. (Elsevier Ltd. www.elsevier.com/locate/jafrearsci, 2006)

The Okwa Basement Complex crops out at the northwestern edge of the Kaapvaal craton within the Okwa Inlier, an isolated exposure of Precambrian basement in the Kalahari Desert. New U–Pb zircon dating was performed on all ...

Genesis of sediment-hosted stratiform copper–cobalt deposits, central African Copperbelt

Cailteux, J.L.H.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Lerouge, C.; Kaputo, A.K.; Milesi, J.P. (Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/jafrearsci, 2005)

The Neoproterozoic central African Copperbelt is one of the greatest sediment-hosted stratiform Cu–Co provinces in the world, totalling 140 Mt copper and 6 Mt cobalt and including several world-class deposits (P10 Mt ...

Shallow seismic refraction and magnetic studies at Lake Ngami, The Okavango Delta, Northwest Botswana

Laletsang, K.; Modisi, M.P.; Shemang, E.M.; Moffat, L.; Moagi, O.R. (Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/jafrearsci, 2007)

A seismic refraction analysis was carried out on data acquired on an 8.5 km profile at Lake Ngami, NW Botswana, to determine the structure and stratigraphy underlying the lake. The seismic spread comprised a 48-channel ...

Ages of detrital zircon grains from Neoproterozoic siliciclastic rocks in the Shakawe area: implications for the evolution of Proterozoic crust in northern Botswana

Mapeo, R.B.M.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Armstrong, R.A. (Geological Society of South Africa. http://sajg.geoscienceworld.org/, 2000-06)

The Precambrian rocks of northern Botswana comprise poorly exposed igneous complexes, high-grade metamorphic rocks, as well as sedimentary sequences including mainly siliciclastic and carbonate rocks. New U-Pb SHRIMP data ...

Sulphur isotope constraints on formation conditions of the Luiswishi ore deposit, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

Lerouge, C.; Cailteux, J.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Milesi, J.P.; Fle´hoc, C. (Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/jafrearsci, 2005)

Luiswishi is a Congo-type Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted stratiform Cu–Co ore deposit of the Central Africa Copperbelt, located northwest of Lubumbashi (DRC). The ores form two main Cu–Co orebodies hosted by the Mines ...
