The Skorpion mine is an oxidic zinc deposit, the main ore being sauconite.
The mine is located about 40 km north of the Orange River (which forms the border between Namibia and South Africa) and 25 km north-northwest of the Rosh Pinah mine. The host rock is folded metamorphosed arkose, interbedded with tuff and underlain by a non-mineralized limestone.

"Opened in 2000 and operated by Anglo American Corporation, this US$454 million mining operation is expected to produce 150,000 tonnes of high-grade zinc per year over a lifetime of at least 15 years.
It is the largest investment in Namibia since its independence, and is expected to contribute up to 4% to Namibia's GDP."
