This is a film about men, machines and rock and roll. This is also a mining movie with soul. Okoruso is the mine (situated on the edge of an extinct volcano 60 kilometres northwest of Otjiwarongo) and fluorite is the target. Today, Okoruso is one of the most successful fluorite mines in the world producing some of the most beautiful crystals anywhere. If you want to know why Okoruso is so unique, watch this movie. If you want to know how Okoruso became so successful, watch this movie: This is a story with passion; a hard-hitting African-Namibian success story.
Willy Nependa (Metallurgical Manager) and Dan Machoko (Senior Geologist) show us how they locate, blast, excavate, transport and purify fluorite from the edge of a mountain so we can live the modern lifestyle that we are accustomed to.
Okoruso Fluorspar is a mine with a passion, putting back into Namibia what it is taking out of the ground. |
