geology of western zambia

Zambia consists mostly of very high plateaus along with mountains which are dissected by river valleys. It covers an area of about 752,600 km2 and lies between the latitudes of 8° and 18°S, as well as the longitudes of 22° and 34°E. ... There are two main river basins: The Zambezi in the central, western as well as southern parts, covering ...

The Kansanshi Cu- (Au) mine exploits a structurally controlled deposit hosted by strongly deformed Neoproterozoic metasediments in the Katangan Basin of southern Africa. It is currently the largest active Cu mine in Africa, with a total endowment of nearly 12 Mt of Cu and 7 Moz of Au. Copper occurs predominately as coarse chalcopyrite in large ...

A magnetotelluric survey in the Barotse Basin of western Zambia shows clear evidence for thinned lithosphere beneath an orogenic belt. The uppermost asthenosphere, at a depth of 60–70 km, is highly conductive, suggestive of the presence of a small amount of partial melt, despite the fact that there is no surface expression of volcanism in the region.

The LFB is the dominant feature of the geology of northern Zambia and southern DRC. The geometry of the belt is shown in Fig. 2. The LFB is located south and southeast of basement blocks in northern and western DRC, the Kasai Block of Kibaran age (Kipata et al., 2013), and south-west of the Archean to Paleoproterozoic Bangweulu Block (De Waele ...

The Lumwana Cu (± Co ± U) deposits of NW Zambia are large, tabular, disseminated ore bodies, hosted within the Mwombezhi Dome of the Lufilian Arc. The host rocks to the Lumwana deposits are two mineralogically similar but texturally distinct gneisses, a granitic to pegmatitic gneiss and a banded to augen gneiss which both comprise quartz–feldspar ± biotite ± muscovite ± haematite ± ...

The most favourable terrains are the stable cratonic Bangweulu Block and possibly the Kabompo area of western Zambia where alluvial diamonds are particularly abundant. The rift-related kimberlites and associated rocks of eastern Zambia have limited potential as they were probably derived from younger, locally diamond-depleted, mantle.

To understand the formation of the Falls, one has to look at the underlying geology and the ancient tectonic processes that shaped ancestral Africa. The main bedrock in the Victoria Falls area is basalt, a dark volcanic rock formed around 180 million years ago. The basalt was laid down during a million-year period of gentle volcanic eruptions ...

The Lumwana Cu±Co deposits Malundwe and Chimiwungo are examples of pre-Katangan mineralized basement that are located in the Domes Region of the Lufilian Arc, an arcuate North neo-Proterozoic fold belt, which hosts the Zambian and Congolese deposits that make up the Central African Copperbelt. The Lumwana deposits are situated within the Mwombezhi Dome; a Mesoproterozoic basement inlier ...
