| dc.description | A geological investigation of the Kibaran series of Kamituga (Kivu Supergroup) was carried out in the Mobale gold deposit at Kamituga with a cartographic, petrographic and structural approach. The petrographic analyses showed the existence of mesozonal metasediments (quarzite and metapelite) affected by a bimodal magmatism, first of dioritic and later of a granitic nature. Two deformation phases affect the metasediments: (D1) a first E-W folding with subhorizontal axis and axial-plane cleavage (S1) of presumed Kibaran age, and (D2) a second N-S folding with an axis moderately inclined towards the South. The latter could represent a Pan-African influence outside the Itombwe Synclinorium and would therefore be the first evidence, for a Pan-African folding affecting the Kibaran series. | |
