Matheson (1967) refers to limestones southeast of Kabanga as appearing to have been formed by the intrusion of a carbonatite magma. They are described as irregular bodies, banded in places, within granulitic gneisses and, as is clear from Matheson's map, are substantial bodies. All stages of assimilation of host gneisses are said to be apparent. No other details are given. These are probably mobilised limestones similar to Mkwisi (No. 180-00-010) and Keshya (No. 180-00-011).
