The northwestern part of South Africa and southern South-West Africa/Namibia is amongst the most extensive granulite terranes in Africa. This work reports the results of electron microprobe studies of minerals from two-pyroxene, cordieriteorthopyroxene (-gedrite) (-sapphirine) and garnet and/or cordierite parageneses from Namaqualand, in the N.W. Cape Province of South Africa. …

However, orbicular diorite is an extremely rare variety of the rock that contains many spherical lumps, or orbs, that exhibit concentric zones of light and dark color. Once only known on the island of Corsica, occurrences of orbicular diorite have now been found in South Africa, North Carolina, and a few other locales as well.
The ∼400 km wide Namaqua–Natal orogenic belt of southern Africa occurs as a series of high-grade tectono-metamorphic terranes that stretch from southern Namibia south-eastwards through the northern Cape Province of South Africa to Kwazulu-Natal on the eastern seaboard (Fig. 1).The Namaqua–Natal orogen lies adjacent to the southern and western …

Asia: Diorite occurs in many parts of Asia, particularly in areas with active tectonic activity and volcanic activity. Countries such as Russia, China, Japan, and India have notable occurrences of diorite. Africa: Diorite is found in various African countries, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, and the Democratic Republic of the ...
The crustal architecture of the reconstructed West Gondwana Orogen has symmetrical bivergent form, dominated by crustal-scale shear zones of opposing listric inclination, dipping east in South America and west in Africa (Fig. 12.16; Basei et al. 2005; Trompette and Carozzi 1994; Trompette 1997; Goscombe and Gray 2007).
Located in South Africa, the BIC contains some of the richest ore deposits on Earth. The complex contains the world's largest reserves of platinum-group metals (PGMs)—platinum, palladium, osmium, iridium, rhodium, and ruthenium—along with vast quantities of iron, tin, chromium, titanium and vanadium.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The recent suggestion of the existence of a basaltic magma in the South-west Cape Province shortly before the intrusion of the Cape granites is corroborated by the occurrence of a gabbroic body of pre-granite age at Yzerfontein. A detailed study of the primary rhythmic banding and igneous lamination of this body indicates its origi nal form as being sheet …
Diorite and associated breccia form scattered outcrops on the Marble Hall Fragment, in the vicinity of the town of Marble Hall, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. The diorite (2055.6 ± 3.1 Ma) intruded as sub-horizontal sills in highly deformed and metamorphosed supracrustal rocks of the Transvaal Supergroup.
The ca. 1100 Ma Namaqualand Metamorphic Complex is host to a number of vein-type monazite-apatite-chalcopyrite-magnetite deposits, which cluster in a approximately 30-km 2 area 160 km south of the Okiep copper district. The largest of these veins, at Steenkampskraal, has been mined intermittently since the late 1950s for thorium.
Calcite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite veins are pervasively developed in a diorite intrusion (~2.06 Ga), associated calc-silicate hybrid rock, and carbonate country rock in the direct …
Diorite rocks have emerged as a viable alternative to river sand. Botswana has an abundant occurrence of diorite rocks that are mainly located in mountainous landscapes as batholiths (McCoy, 2016). Diorite rock(s) are intrusive rocks in nature, they are classified under Igneous rock which can be plutonic (intrusive) and volcanic (extrusive).
The mafic to felsic rocks at Yzerfontein form part of a composite 535 Ma post-orogenic pluton belonging to the Cape Granite Suite (CGS) of the Pan-African Saldania Belt of southwestern Africa. The pluton ranges from olivine gabbros (mostly at the northern end) to quartz monzonites, with monzonites the most abundant rock type. Minor felsic rocks in the form of quartz …
