OUR PROJECTS
Continental Lithium Africa Development Corporation is developing a portfolio of lithium properties in Namibia and Madagascar. With significant progress made in remote sensing, mapping, and site assessments, the company has identified and secured promising prospects and provided guidance on the next steps for exploration and development. Experience in efficiently developing greenfield projects will maximize value for shareholders and partners.
Lithium in Namibia
We have secured 12 mining claims which are being converted into mining licenses and four Exclusive Prospecting Licenses. By conducting precise geological and geo-metallurgical studies, we aim to enhance our operations and yield high-grade lithium consistently and at scale.
Lithium in Namibia: Karas Region
Advanced spectral analysis and infrared remote sensing have identified promising pegmatite bodies across all EPLs. Sampling plans have been initiated to demonstrate the pegmatite grades. A comprehensive geological review is in progress, detailing the pegmatites and evaluating their potential for economic lithium potential.
Our current work includes creating drainage maps for each EPL to enable stream sampling to pinpoint lithium-bearing pegmatites. We will implement a focused stream sediment sampling program targeting tributary junctions for essential data collection and high grade ore-body identification. After identifying lithium-rich pegmatites, we will conduct channel sampling across the economically attractive pegmatites, followed by an extensive drilling program on the most promising sites, bringing us closer to realizing the full potential of our resources.
Lithium in Namibia: Cape Cross - Uis Area
Continental Lithium is exploring the Cape Cross-Uis Pegmatite Belt (CUPB) area, which stretches from the coast at Cape Cross. It is a 24 km wide and 115 km long zone of mineralisation which extends to just east of the settlement and tin mine at Uis, with significant mineralization potential.
Reconnaissance work for the CUPB is nearing completion. The region is characterized by sheetwash sediments and dune ridges, which obscure the underlying substrate. Despite competition from larger miners targeting the well-known pegmatite swarms, ample opportunities exist for further exploration and development in the area.
Prior field work experience in this region has bolstered our confidence in the area's prospectiveness. We are in negotiation with several EPL holders to contribute their properties to the CUPB portfolio of projects currently being assessed.
We are also in detailed negotiations with several EPL, mining claim and mining license owners in and adjacent to this mineralized zone of Cape Cross - Uis Area.

Lithium in Madagascar
We are currently engaged in detailed negotiations with the owners of an existing export operation in Madagascar. Our focus is to conduct comprehensive geological and geo-metallurgical assessments that will enable us to capitalize on and enhance the current operations. Our ultimate goal is to consistently produce a high-grade product at scale.
