Shaba-type Cu-Co(-Ni) Deposit located West of the Kabompo Dome (11Β°50'S, 24Β°28'E).

Host rock: Tectonic slice of Katangan Roan Supergroup (Mines Group)

Sedimentary formations: altered dolostones and dolomitic shales (meta-evaporites).

Alteration into talcose dolomite, sericitization, intense silicification and brecciation.

Strata-bound Ni-Co-Cu mineralization, disseminated to finely laminated and locally discordant, within carbonaceous pyritic metapelite. Synsedimentary pyrite (in a carbonaceous pelite) was replaced by syndiagenetic or metamorphic Co-Ni-Cu-bearing fluids.
