Lerama Resources
Sponsor
Lerama’s vision is to develop a genuinely broad-based BEE company in the mineral exploration and project development space in South Africa. The Company is focused on the evaluation and development of early stage prospecting rights for Polymetallic deposits in the Bushveld Complex. The focus of its exploration activities is the so-called category of IOCG (Iron Oxide-Copper-Gold) deposits, well known in many other parts of the world, but under explored in southern Africa.
Lerama sees significant benefit in targeting Polymetallic ore deposits comprising several key commodities (i.e. Cu, Ag, Au, Pb, Zn, U, REE) and in its geographical focus on the Bushveld Complex, one of the great metallotects of the World. Lerama holds first-mover advantage in those portions of the Bushveld Complex that offer potential for the discovery of IOCG deposits, many of which are known about historically, but have not been recognized as yet for their true potential.
