Matchless Mine, Namibia

Matchless Mine is a copper mine in Khomas Region, Namibia. It was operated until 1983 when it was shut down due to "strategic and economic" reasons. In 2012, Weatherly International PLC, a London-based mining company, announced its intention to reopen the mine. It estimated that the mine would produce more than 3,000 tonnes per year.[1] It is powered by the nearby Friedenau Dam.
