The property’s geology is underlain by rocks that have been classified as Proterozoic gneisses, with the main geology being part of the Usagaran System of rocks of Tanzania. This system of felsic gneisses is highly metamorphosed and includes some marble units. An east-west structure related gold mineralization has been proposed as the main ground preparation for the region. Due to the minimal to non-existent exploration in the area, no geological model or theory has been developed. Again considerable work by local artesian miners has indicated that the property could contain commercial amounts of gold.
