The project area have a complex geological setting that is conducive to the formation of several types of mineral deposits, including gold, copper, cobalt, nickel, and platinum group elements (PGEs).
The area have undergone low to medium-grade metamorphism, which has affected the volcanic and sedimentary sequences, leading to the development of mineralization in some areas.
The Nakasib Suture Zone is located within the Arabian-Nubian Shield (AND), an exposure of crystalline rocks that formed orogeny between 500 million and 900 million years ago. It consists of a number of terrains that are separated by sutures represented by wide shear zones.
the area is covered predominantly by the basement complex mainly Granite, and recent meta volcanic & meta sediments. These are intruded by schist , chlorite, Diorite, Dolerite and quartz veins at many places.
Project area shows signs of structural disturbance, Hence occurrence of cobalt and Nickel and iron and copper mineralization in significant iron oxide with malachite ore body & alteration associated with magnetite and malachite and sulfide minerals.
Samples chemical analysis result showing thr high grade of (Ni ,Co ,Cu) Malachite copper deposit and malachite with iron magnetite ore and malachite contact of alteration zone .
Gold mineralisation can be found as both alluvial and orogenic gold
