Kombat

Kombat (the place of the giraffe) is a mining settlement at the southern margin of the Otavi Mountain Range in northern Namibia. It is situated 37 kilometres (23 mi) East of Otavi on the B8 to Grootfontein.

Minerals were discovered near Kombat in 1850. Around the year 1900, Kombat Mine was opened to extract copper. It was operated by Tsumeb Corporation Limited until the 1970s, and later by Ongopolo Mining. In 2008 Ongopolo, and with it the mine, was taken over by Weatherly International PLC, a mining house based in London. Soon thereafter the mine flooded, and it is dormant since.

Besides copper, there are sizeable deposits of lead and silver, and a host of rare minerals, including glaucochroite.
