Geological setting
- Vast crystalline ridge with Archean basement to the west and Proterozoic terrains to the east.
- Granites, granodiorites, gneisses and greenstone belts cut by mafic dykes.
- A long tectonic history providing structural traps favourable to metal concentration.
- Thin sedimentary cover, leaving outcrops widely accessible to mapping.
Target mineralisation
- Uranium (U3O8), notably as carnotite in near-surface settings
- Gold, in greenstone belts and shear zones
- Copper and base metals associated with intrusions
- Iron ore, the historical backbone of Mauritanian mining
Our activity
MENAJEM runs radiometric surveys, lithostructural mapping and trenching campaigns here to convert regional geophysical anomalies into documented drill targets.
