Reconnaissance Exploration For Gold In The Misaki Area Within The Iramba-Sekenke Greenstone Belt, Central Tanzania

ABSTRACT Combinations of geological, geophysical and geochemical techniques have been used to explore gold deposits at Misaki within the Iramba-Sekenke Greenstone Belt (ISGB) in Singida region. The Misaki area is occupied by different rocks including homogeneous coarse-grained granite containing numerous xenoliths (> 5 vol. %), tonalite, K-rich granite and pegmatite, and dolerite dykes. All granitic rocks have been intruded by dolerite dykes, cut by epidote veins and are found juxtaposed to a...
