The three largest coalfields, known as Ketewaka, Mchuchuma and Ngaka, occur in a similar geological setting and lie within 50 kilometres of the Lumecha Coalfield. A recent US$3 billion agreement between the Tanzanian Government and China's Sichuan Hongda will see the development and mining of the adjacent Mchuchuma Coalfield, …

DetailsThe geochemical analyses showed all samples to be rich in organic matter of Types II and III and samples from Songwe Kiwira, Namwele, Mbamba Bay, Njuga and Mhukuru coalfields were in an early mature-mature stage of hydrocarbon generation. Whereas samples from Ketewaka and Ngaka coalfields showed a GC-trace of early …

DetailsFacies characteristics of the lower/middle and upper Mchuchuma Formation and the »Scarp sandstone« of the overlying Ketewaka formation exhibit synsedimentary basin subsidence. Vitrinite reflectance data suggest similar temperature gradients and burial history for the Mchuchuma and Ngaka subbasins.
DetailsUntil such time the old informal nomenclature is used (Tab.l, Fig. 4) Ruhuhu Basin The Ruhuhu Basin comprises several structural- ly defined sub-basins viz. Mchuchuma-Ketewaka, Ngaka and Lumecha, The total thickness of the basinffll amounts to more than 2300 m and may possibly reach 3000 m as suggested by lateral facies …

DetailsA statistical approach by a modified Markov process model was used to prove that the lower Permian coal measures of the Tanzanian Mchuchuma basin developed distinct cyclicities during deposition. From results the transition path of lithologic states typical for this coal sequence is as follows: (A) coarse sandstone, (B) medium sandstone, (C) fine-very fine …
DetailsIt has a maximum throw of about 1000 m and separates the Karoo beds of the Mchuchuma--Ketewaka area from those of the Ngaka region, thus subdividing the Ruhuhu Basin into two sub-basins (Fig.l).

DetailsThe Upper Permian pole for Africa is the mean of the Nyakatitu group VIII, Mikumi Ndeke, SongweKiwira K3, and Ketewaka-Mchuchuma K3 poles. The Lower Permian pole for Africa in Table 4 is the mean of the Moroccan /Algerian poles in Table 3, and the mean poles for South America, India, and Australia are from Van der Voo [8].

DetailsSimilarly as the Ketewaka-Mchuchuma field, its coal sediments were also laid down in K 2. It is divided into the Ngaka northern field and the Mbalawala (also Ngaka southern field) field. The Ngaka northern field is more dissected into small local, more or less isolated depressions or valleys in an older buried surface.
DetailsIn general, the assemblage is similar to that recorded from the upper part of the Lower Coal Measures of the Ketewaka/Mchuchuma coalfield of Tanzania. Recommended articles.

DetailsThe Ruhuhu Basin is well known for large tonnages of high quality thermal coal, including the substantial Ketewaka, Mchuchuma and Ngaka coalfields, with published resources exceeding 1 billion tonnes. At the Mkuju project, Uranex has had good results, with high grade uranium intersections from its initial drilling program in May.
