geology

The Kafin Moyi site site covers an area of 19.6km2. In this area the exploration activities which has been carried out over the past 1 year involves geophysics, geochemistry, field mapping and drilling together with sampling have now been completed. The outcrop runs approximately 5.8 a pegmatite dyke al~o occurs as an intrusion into biotite gneiss which is the dominant country rock of the area. The dyke is the source of the large block of Lead Ore, Zinc Ore, Iron Ore, and Manganese Ore which litter the surrounding lower ground, around the hill. The biotite gneiss which is the country rock has been invaded by swarms of pegmatite veins and dykes. The pegmatite under review happens to be the largest in the area. The pegmatite dyke which strikes north-south is approximately 100 meters long and on the average 20 meters wide. Petrologically the pegmatite dyke is composed of dense dark rock with phenocrysts of pink or grayish quartz and colorless Lead Ore, Zinc Ore, Iron Ore, and Manganese Ore visible in hand specimen. The Lead Ore, Zinc Ore, Iron Ore, and Manganese Ore are found as graphic intergrowths perties with cross-hatching twining and orthoclase are the major quartzite as seen from thin section. The quartzite show varied inclusions of micaceous mineral like biotite, muscovite and chlorite. In Lead Ore, Zinc Ore, Iron Ore, and Manganese Ore phenocrysts, inclusions ceasist of quartz micaceous sutured strained, is aligned parallel to the general minerals and apatite Lead Ore, Zinc Ore, Iron Ore, and Manganese Ore which is generally sutured stained, is aligned parallel of the strike of the dyke.
