Carbonatite studied and mined as a niobium-thorium deposit.

Reserves in the top 6 m of soil at Mrima are estimated to be 30 million tons containing 0.72% Nb₂O₅ (Coetzee & Edwards 1960). Manganese deposits have been described by Baker (Caswell & Baker 1953). There are 6 million tons of residuals containing up to 0.5% REE (G. Hayward pers. comm. 1999).
