The geological setting is interpreted as the eastern side of a syncline, within a mafic/ultramafic volcanic suite, overlain with BIF/sediments/felsics.
This area has undergone intense folding and shearing, with the major shear structure dubbed the “Gabanintha Shear”.
This pattern of folding and shearing along the contact is seen throughout the region
