The Karibib Lithium Project holds historical significance, potentially being the first known lithium reserve discovered in Namibia in the 1930s, with mining activities dating back to the 1950s by the Klochner Group of Germany.
Lepidico has announced the commencement of site works for the Karibib Lithium Project, with mining operations scheduled to commence in early 2025. The project encompasses the Helikon and Rubicon mines and is poised to create significant employment opportunities.
The company is in the process of advancing a lithium project that is situated in the western part of the Kalahari Desert. The area is characterized by reasonable road access and a wide expanse on Karoo geology substrate that is covered by red Kalahari sand dunes and well developed saltpans.
