Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Rössing South Mine; Müller's Mine
Quartz-fluorite veins in pegmatite. Granite, gneiss, quarzite, schist, skarn. The veins are radioactive due to the simultaneous mineralization of fluorite and uranium minerals. Mine worked from 1970 to 1973, 50.000 tons of fluorite were produced. Formerly called Rössing South mine/project and previously known as Müller's Mine (Weninger, 1972).
There are many dumps with great possibilities in finding a variety of minerals (2003). Some 6 zones of ore over approximately 10km.
The Husab uranium deposit comprises six ore belts (Zone 1 − Zone 6) and several anomaly belts, such as the Middle Dome. The Zone 1 and 2 ore belts concentrate most of the uranium reserves of the mine and are characterized by high average ore grades and large mineralization scales. The ore body lengths reach 3 km and 2.5 km, respectively, and the extension depth exceeds 400 m. The magmatic rocks in the mining area primarily comprise granites, which can be subdivided into Salem granite, red granite, gray granite, and alaskite. The alaskite can be further divided into B, C, D, E, and F types, with the A-type conspicuously absent, while D type and E type are the main ore-bearing alaskite. Also contains a relatively pure powethite (Ca[MoO4]).
Situation 2015: The mine is being developed by Taurus Minerals, a large open-pit exploration with a lifetime of 20 years is expected.
Mine, as of 2018, owned by Swakop Uranium.
Located about 40 miles east of Swakopmund, in the Namib desert.
