Lupata Formation and are termed the Sena Sandstone Formation and lower Thorium
Sandstone Member (based on its distinctive radiometric signature) respectively (Figure

Mbuga soils.

6.3 Mineralisation and Exploration Model
There appears to have been little work carried out on assessing the economic potential
of these Cretaceous age sedimentary basins as there are few references in the
literature. In most cases exploration efforts have been focused on the more well-known
and exposed Zambezi Valley Karoo Super group sediments that host world class coal
deposits (in particular around the Tete area) as well as small to medium uranium
deposits such as the ones at Mutanga, Njame (Zambia) and Kanyemba (Zimbabwe).
To date, no significant uranium resources have been identified within Cretaceous age
sediments in Africa, although the late Cretaceous age Wyoming, Colorado Plateau
deposits are well documented.
The presence of overlying Sena Formation fluvial, channelized sandstone units and
their proximity to underlying acid volcanics and sediments (which have an elevated Th,
