- Erongo Complex -
ASTER VNIR L1B

The Erongo Complex is the largest of the Cretaceous igneous complexes in the Damaraland, Namibia.

Erongo is made up of a series of mainly silicic volcanic and intrusive units, like many of the Damaraland complexes, but it is unique by virtue of its size and well-preserved igneous sequence silicic magmas as well as tholeiitic and alkaline basalts.

There are many world class mines surrounding the complex, which contain precious metals (gold, silver), base matals (copper, lead, zinc, tin), rare matals (tantalum, niobium, lithium) ,uran and gemstones (tourmaline, aquamarine,garnet).
