Summary: The Kombat Mine is situated in northern Namibia in a predominantly carboneta-hosted Pb- Zn- C U metallogenic province known as the Otavi Mountainland. The carbonate rocks are of late Proterozoic age, and constitute the Otavo Group of the Damara Sequence. The mineral potential of the Otavi Mountainland has been exploited since prehistoric times, and there are now over 600 known minerals showings. The majority of these showings consist of uneconomic Pb- Zn and V mineralization, and are often compared to Mississippi Valley-type deposits. The only two currently active mines are Tsumeb and Kombat which host a wide variety of Cu mineralization with variable amounts of Pb, Zn and Ag
