Oscillate Plc is making headlines with its ambitious expansion into the copper mining sector, having recently completed a game-changing acquisition of Kalahari Copper Limited. This strategic move not only adds an impressive portfolio of Namibian copper licences to its assets but also positions Oscillate as a key player in one of the most promising mining regions in Africa, the Kaoko Basin.
Originally signed in July 2025, the deal has now been revised to encompass Namibian projects alongside Kalahari Copper’s established holdings in Botswana. Kalahari Copper Limited, a privately-owned exploration firm, boasts a commendable 100% ownership of its mining licences. In Namibia alone, its portfolio spans over 1,100 km² across four licenses, marking a significant presence in this underexplored yet rich copper frontier.
As it stands, Oscillate’s exploration initiatives in Namibia have already shown promising results. Drilling campaigns conducted in 2024 at key sites like Omatapati and Ondera have indicated robust copper mineralization from the surface—a sign of substantial potential. For instance, drilling at Omatapati unearthed impressive intersections of 1.2% copper over 20 meters from depths of 80 to 100 meters. Such findings not only bolster the credibility of Oscillate’s newer Namibian assets but also illustrate the exciting prospects of future exploration.
On the financial side, Oscillate has demonstrated commitment by paying a non-refundable deposit of £500,000 to Kalahari Copper, with a plan to settle the full acquisition through shares, amounting to 30% of its issued capital. The deal also includes other milestone payments contingent on future resource development—a strategic move that underscores Oscillate’s forward-thinking approach as it aims to transition into a prominent mid-cap copper developer.
Oscillate CEO Robin Birchall lauded the revamped acquisition deal as a “major step forward,” highlighting the advanced state of the Namibian assets compared to Kalahari’s holdings in Botswana. He emphasized the excitement surrounding these developments, noting that their copper discoveries place Oscillate in a strong position within the market.
With the growing interest in the Kaoko Basin, characterized by its geological ties to some of the world’s largest sediment-hosted copper systems, this region is swiftly emerging as a crucial player in global copper production. If fully developed, these assets could significantly complement Namibia’s existing resource landscape, which is well-known for its uranium, zinc, and diamond outputs, while also playing a vital role in the global energy transition.
The expansion of Oscillate Plc into Namibia not only represents a promising venture for the company but also highlights the increasing potential within the African mining sector. As companies like Oscillate lead the charge, the Kaoko Basin stands to become a major contributor to the continent’s economic growth and development in the years to come.
