Situated to the south of the Koga village, 9 x 5 km intrusion of nepheline syenite, it lies within the Babaji peralkaline syenites and granites to the west and south, which are part of Ambela Granite Complex, Mardan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, and the Chingalai granodiorite gneiss to the SE. The northern limit of the foid syenites is concealed beneath alluvium (Siddiqui et al. 1969).

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Eocene : 50 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
