Little appears to be known of this occurrence which lies some 10 km north-northwest of Chishanya (No. 181-00-009) on the western bank of the Save River close to its confluence with the Murambwi River. According to Barber (1991) it is an alkaline ring complex emplaced within granites and having prominent ridges of carbonatitic rock with signs of fenitization. However, K. Walsh (pers. comm., 2000) says it is fault breccia.
