Abstract
The Mauritanides in the western part of Mauritania form a north-south striking assembly of metamorphosed rocks<br>from meta-sedimentary to ultra-basic and ophiolitic origin with interspaced calc-alkaline granite. Morphologically<br>they form a belt of low lying hills. Geologically they stand out because they contain a large number of small<br>copper-rich base metal deposits and a few Cr showings.
