-------------------------------
Tsumeb is the capital city of the Oshikoto region in northern Namibia. It is located at: 19?15?S 17?42?Eand has many amazing attractions within a few hour's drive. Apart from these local features, Tsumeb is seen as "The gateway to the North" of Namibia. It is the closest town to the Etosha National Park, one of the greatest reserves for wildlife in all of Africa.
Tsumeb ("SOO-meb") means "Place of the Moss" (or, in Afrikaans, "Plek van Padda-Sluik"). It probably got this name because of the huge natural hill of green, oxidized copper ore that existed there before it was destroyed by mining. The town was founded in 1905 by the German colonial power and celebrated its 100th year of existence in 2005.
Tsumeb is notable for the huge mineralized pipe that lead to its foundation. The origin of the pipe has been hotly debated for generations and any comment about this by one geologist is likely to raise the ire of some others. The pipe penetrates more or less vertically through the Precambrian Otavi dolomite for at least 1300m. One possibility is that the pipe was actually a gigantic ancient cave system and that the rock filling it is sand that seeped in from above. If the pipe is volcanic, as some have suggested, then the rock filling it (the "pseudo-aplite") is peculiar in the extreme. The pipe was mined in prehistoric times but those ancient workers barely scratched the surface. Most of the ore was removed in the 20th century by cut-and-fill methods. The ore was polymetallic and from it copper, lead, silver, gold, arsenic and germanium were won. There was also a fair amount of zinc present but the recovery of this metal was always difficult for technical reasons. The pipe was famous for its richness. Many millions of tonnes of ore of spectacular grade were removed. A good percentage of the ore (called "direct smelting ore") was so rich that it was sent straight to the smelter situated near the town without first having to be processed through the mineral enrichment plant. The Tsumeb mine is also renowned amongst mineral collectors. It is noted for 243 valid minerals and is the type location for 56 mineral species. Many rare and unique minerals such as feinglosite, leiteite and ludlockite are found only here.
