Metallogenetic potencial of the Paleoproterozoic mafic-ultramafic Hamutenha intrusion (SW Angola). New data from PLANAGEO project [Abstract]

ABSTRACT: In the SW sector of the Angolan shield occur the Kunene Anorthositic Complex (KAC), one of the most remarkable magmatic anorthositic suites worldwide. The KAC is considered a long-lived magmatic system that operated in the area intermittently during the Mesoproterozoic (1450 ± 2 Ma to 1371 ± 2.5 Ma). Smaller mafic-ultramafic intrusive bodies ranging in composition from dunite to harzbugite, pyroxenite, troctolite and gabbro are located in the KAC periphery (e.g. Epupa, Ombuku, Hamutenha, Oncócua). The Hamutenha body is a 3 km long oriented NW-SE, banded intrusion with internal zonation hosted in the Paleoproterozoic granitic rocks (1970 ± 2 Ma). The internal zone is composed by rocks with ultramafic nature, mostly harzburgites and dunites with diorites in the external zone.
