In this paper, we present a summary of the Tsumeb deposit (polymetallic Copper deposit) of the Otavi Mountain Land (OML), Namibia, based on selected literature sources, with the main focus on the regional geolog-ical background, deposit geology and ore mineralization.

The Tsumeb polymetallic deposit of Otavi Mountain Land (OML), Namibia, is a prominent deposit of remarkable and complex mineral species with the accreditation of about 337 valid minerals. A total of 72 species of these minerals are of Tsumeb as the type of locality.

Lead isotope ratios of galena from the carbonate-hosted massive sulphide deposits of Kabwe (Pb-Zn) and Tsumeb (Pb-Zn-Cu) in Zambia and Namibia, respectively, have been measured and found to be homogeneous and characteristic of upper crustal source rocks.

Tsumeb, since its founding in 1905, has been primarily a mining town. The town is the site of a deep mine (the lower workings now closed) whose ore deposits with respect to variety, rarity and aesthetics of minerals have been listed among 100 geological heritage sites around the world by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).

Abstract: The Tsumeb polymetallic carbonate-hosted replacement deposit in northern Namibia, although now closed, is a world-renowned deposit of unusual and complex minerals, particularly those of arsenic and germanium.

The Tsumeb base-metal deposit contained one of the most diverse examples of mineralogical paragenesis ever observed within a single mineral deposit (Keller 1977). The deposit hosted approximately 307 minerals and 232 of those minerals are …

The Precambrian Otavi dolomites in the district of Tsumeb in Namibia are host to base metal mineralization but large tracts of these rocks occupy a mature pediplain and are deeply buried by transported overburden of Kalahari age. This sandy material makes …
