No references found | The phosphate deposits of Tunisia are all sediments, found in Metlaoui Formation in the southern part of the Tunis basin- the anticlinal deposits of the Gafsa region and the perched synclinal deposits of the Tebessa-Thala region. East of Island Mountain, in the area of both the MC and IM mines, the ophiolitic rocks are mainly talc-carbonate-altered ultramafic cumulates that form discontinuous and isolated synclinal tongues within the underlying footwall sedimentary rocks. Beneath the Mesozoic cover there are two northerly trending arches which separate three synclinal areas: one along the Libyan border to the east, one near the Moroccan border in the far west, and one lying in the centre of Algeria. |
