Akili insights
AI-generated from cited records
- Open ground on the Ngwako Pan redox contact
KCB-CU-014 sits on open ground with a stable rank across sensitivity runs. Kavango's PL 003/2025 borders it to the west; the contact trend continues 18 km east with no tenure.
- Lithium model blocked by four brine samples
li-v1.4 depends on 4 boreholes with brine chemistry and no lab QA record. A 20-site sampling campaign lifts Sua Pan North from unstable to stable in the sensitivity test.
- Sandfire geochemistry request unanswered 12 days
22,000 samples over Motheo would double soil coverage on the copperbelt. Request sent 28 Aug under NDA template; escalate through EICB focal point.
Holding h6 AI-generated - Three investors viewed the same copper package
The Kalahari Copperbelt data room shows repeat sessions from two funds and one major on KCB-CU-014 and KCB-CU-021 in the last 48 hours.
