Situated approximately 140km north-west of Windhoek, the Onkoshi Gold Project was previously known as the Erindi and Vredelus Projects.

Located in the Southern Central Zone of the Damaran Orogenic Belt, the project comprises mineralisation that is hosted in magnetite-amphibole skarns and massive sulphide and sulphide-bearing calc-silicates and marbles of the Swakop Group.

The project’s historical work included reconnaissance mapping with soil and rock grab sampling, as well as wagon, reverse-circulation and diamond drilling activity.

Antler is planning to start environmental work on the project needed to apply for the ECC.

It will also interpret all available historical work to outline an exploration programme for the project.
