Iron Ore

Project Name:	LIGANGA	Click on map to enlarge
Location:	Located within the Ludewa District of the Iringa Region.
Area:	24.66km2

Access:

The area is located approximately 200km south of Njombe town and is accessible from Dar es Salaam by a major tarmac road through Songea to Magingo (1,380km) and then a gravel road to within 3km of the licence area.

The towns of Songea and Njombe are large, well populated and serviced towns connected to the National Grid.

Geology:

The licence lies 8km along strike from the titaniferous magnetite ore deposits of Liganga, which are largely found to be cropping out along the four northwest - southeast trending hills, namely; Maganga-Matitu Hill, Maganga Hill, Mahenye Hill and Liganga Hill. These deposits are hosted within lenticular (in plan) luecogabbro. This body, based on previously geological mapping, extends into the licence area. During a site visit made in early 2008 magnetite and hematite-rich float observed within the northeastern sector of the licence.
