Okorusu Mine Airstrip is a private, unpublished airstrip located at the Okorusu fluorite mine in central Namibia, operated primarily to support mining operations in the region. It serves as a logistical link for personnel and light cargo associated with the mine rather than as a commercial aviation facility. The strip reflects Namibia's tradition of bush airstrips that connect remote industrial and agricultural sites across vast, sparsely populated terrain.
