It occurs between the Mieriteke and BaleqigeβKeketuomusike faults, and this field was intruded by numerous Variscan porphyritic biotite granites (strike = WNW 315Β°) that contain medium-coarse crystals. Variscan diorites (strike = WNW 350Β°) are also scattered in the north and south of the Nuogan River over a length and a width of 3.9 and 1.4 km, respectively. The 116 pegmatite veins in this field cover an area of >3 km2, and these veins, which intruded diorites along fissures, display a NW strike and dip of 45Β°. The majority of these veins are <100 m long, whereas some are >200 m long, but all are <20 m wide. Several pegmatite veins are characterised by low Be and Be-Nb-Ta mineralisation, whereas others show high Be-Li-Nb-Ta mineralisation.
The studied Amulagong pegmatite is hosted in medium Variscan diorites, and it is characterised by a length of approximately 70 m and an average width of 8 m. Across the upper to the lower section, pegmatite veins can be partitioned into the following zones: graphic, saccharoidal albite, massive microcline, quartzβmuscovite nested, and cleavelandite albite.
