Region measuring approximately 3 x 10 km, located along and the South side of the Mavuzi River (comprizing the Inhatobue, Cabuazi and Capompo tributaries rivers). Patchily distributed mineral locations around pegmatitic and syenitic intrusions with radioactive minerals. Mostly found in the gabbroic country rock near the intrusion contact.
The prospect was found in 1947 and produced some davidite ore the following years: more than 150t
