General Notes
The occurrence of brianyoungite at Tsumeb has been reported by "MineralMining.com" (https://www.mindat.org/locentry-20820.html; accessed June 2023), but the means of identification is not stated. There is no reference to brianyoungite in the peer-reviewed literature.
From a geochemical perspective the occurrence of brianyoungite at Tsumeb is entirely plausible but questionable status is retained pending analytical confirmation on material of unequivocal Tsumeb origin.
