Okapilands SARL operates Direct Shipping Ore across multiple concessions in the DRC Copperbelt — delivering base metals, precious metals, and strategic minerals direct to global markets.
Our Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) approach provides immediate cash flow by selling high-grade, surface-level copper-cobalt oxide material to local warehouses and Gécamines-approved facilities. This strategy funds ongoing exploration without equity dilution — creating a self-sustaining operational model that accelerates discovery while demonstrating early economic viability.
Our concessions span the Lualaba–Copperbelt geological corridor — one of the world’s richest mineral provinces — hosting a diversified portfolio of high-value commodities.
High-grade copper oxide and sulphide mineralization. Direct shipped as ore to Gécamines warehouse or processed to copper cathode sheets for export. Primary revenue driver on Mokambo 1.
DSO ActiveCo-occurring with copper deposits at Mokambo 1. Critical for EV battery supply chains. Surface oxide material amenable to direct shipping and hydrometallurgical processing.
Co-ProductHigh-grade scheelite-bearing skarn confirmed at H-Robertii. UV-fluorescent drill core. Tungsten is critical for defence, hard metals, and advanced manufacturing worldwide.
Confirmed · Drill ReadyNewly discovered spodumene at our Manono-adjacent site. Lithium-bearing pegmatite within one of the world’s most significant lithium provinces. Highly strategic commodity.
New DiscoveryTantalite-columbite (coltan) occurrences across licence areas. Essential for capacitors in smartphones, aerospace, and medical devices. Responsibly managed 3TG programme.
Exploration TargetCassiterite prospecting within the broader DRC mineral belt. Tin is essential for solder in electronics, tinplate packaging, and lead-free alloys — growing strategic importance.
ProspectingReal-time indicative spot prices for key commodities in our portfolio. Continuously updated. Sources: LME, USGS, Metal Bulletin.
Multiple concessions across the DRC Copperbelt and Lualaba province, each targeting distinct mineral systems with proven surface mineralisation and clear DSO pathways.
Primary copper-cobalt oxide deposit. Surface mining and direct ore shipment to Gécamines warehouse. High-grade malachite and azurite mineralisation visible at surface.
High-grade scheelite deposit confirmed. Scheelite-bearing skarn with UV-fluorescent drill core. Native hyperaccumulator flora guides targeting. Drilling planned imminently.
Spodumene (lithium) discovered adjacent to the world-class Manono lithium province. Early-stage but highly strategic given the global battery metal demand trajectory.
2018–2021 geobotanical survey. Crystal, bauxite, and cobalt samples confirmed 25/09/2021. Key data set for targeted drilling strategy across the Angolan Copperbelt extension.
Our proprietary non-invasive technique uses native hyperaccumulator flora as bio-indicators of subsurface mineralisation — validated since 2018.
Field teams identify native hyperaccumulator plants that concentrate specific metals from soil. Their distribution directly indicates subsurface mineralisation, reducing drill costs and environmental impact.
Systematic topsoil sampling and field rock identification at H-Robertii. Sample finds GPS-tagged and logged. Scheelite-bearing skarn exposed at surface across multiple outcrops.
Scan drill cores with UV light for blue fluorescence — the diagnostic signature of scheelite (CaWO₄). Assay tungsten values to determine ore grade and economic viability.
Satellite imagery validation of all target zones (WGS84). H-Robertii confirmed at -10.58772, 25.23768 — 4,249 ft. Aerial mapping confirms structural geology consistent with skarn mineralisation.
Okapilands welcomes serious exploration partners. With confirmed scheelite grades satisfying current company reviews — open to joint ventures, investment, and production agreements.
Scheelite samples ready — 10 kg, 100 kg, core, or cutting — as you specify. Bags labelled, awaiting your testing instructions.
