Shackleton is a village in Mashonaland West province in Zimbabwe, near the Chinhoyi region.
[1] The ore is described by Mindat as "sedimentary copper deposit, hosted in calcareous argillite and arkose".
[3] In 2000, Shackleton was shut down, as copper mining declined.
Along with Mhangura, Sutton, Vanad, and Kildonan, the mining towns became ghost towns, changing from thriving communities to impoverished small villages.
