Why this location matters
Motapa extends the Bilboes exploration system and shows how old workings can guide modern drilling and district-scale interpretation.
The property contains historic gold workings and sulphide targets being tested beneath historic oxide pits.
The displayed coordinate is regional because the project covers a large mining lease; it is not a legal boundary.
Caledonia acquired the project in 2022 and describes it as strategically important to its multi-asset Zimbabwe growth strategy.
