| Classic Soviet studies systematically linked metallogenic periods to orogenic phases (Smirnov 1988); yet, it has become apparent that there are discrepancies between the productivity of certain orogenic belts, which are difficult to explain (Goldfarb et al. The three properties, NE Kabanga, Burigi and Kibombo - collectively the Kagera Nickel Project, comprise a large land position, approximately 1752 square kilometres within the Kibaran Orogenic Belt, a north-northeasterly trending metasedimentary sequence along the western border of Tanzania which is intruded by mafic and ultramafic intrusions with associated nickel and copper mineralization, including the Kabanga Nickel Deposit. Its message of employing multiple analytical techniques to fully interpret geochronological data within petrological context represents the current benchmark for accurate geochronological calibration of polymetamorphosed rocks in orogenic belts. |
