The regional geology of the area where Shamika’s mineral concessions are located in the Great Lakes Region of Central Africa, on the western edge of the Kibara Metallogenic Belt.
It is an intercontinental mobile belt formed between 1,400 and 900 Ma ago. The belt is some 1,500 km long, trending North-Northeast-South-Southwest and is up to 400 km wide. Shamika’s concessions are located in the upper part of this belt.
The characteristics of known mineralization in the region are different in the Kibara belt from those of other Proterozoic belts, as it is composed of typical granophilic elements: tin, tungsten, lithium, beryllium, tantalum and some gold.

The Lomamian Orogeny, which occurred around 950 Ma ago, is characterized by numerous tin granite intrusions, as well as faulting and folding. The core of Shamika’s mineral properties is constituted by those granitic intrusions - that form the last generation of Kibaran granites -, which hold a stanniferous (tin-related) mineralization.
