To raise awareness of the importance of geological heritage and the need to connect it with natural heritage, as well as cultural tangible and intangible heritage.
To encourage the governments and the related organizations to protect and conserve their most relevant geoheritage via national programmes and to develop UNESCO Geopark projects in their country.
To assure that the UNESCO Geopark concept is well understood at governmental and academic level, in order to support community driven growing initiatives and provide a necessary new sustainable economic development to local populations.
To identify and discuss the strengths and weaknesses, as well as potential opportunities and threats posed by the current situation in Africa for UNESCO Global Geoparks. What is the potential and challenges for current initiative in Africa and discussions on how to alleviate such challenges?

Volker Petzel, Namibia

Duration: 30 September – 04 October 2023

Several orogenic gold deposits occur in the Neoproterozoic Damara Supergroup. Research conducted on these deposits indicate a late to post tectonic emplacement of this mineralisation during syn- to late-peak metamorphic conditions (Shilunga, 2022 et. al). The mineralisation is structurally controlled with fault and thrust systems acting as conduits for the ascending mineralising fluids. The field trip will take the delegates to the Navachab Gold Mine and the Twin Hills Gold Project located at Karibib as well as to the Otjikoto Gold Mine located to the north of Otjiwarongo. The lithologies, structures, alteration and mineralisation will be explained and shown to the delegates at each of these localities.
