The GH belt occurs as a linear NW-trending belt exposed over a distance of 15 km with width varying from 0.5 km to 1 km from NW of Kudineerkatte in the north up to east of Janakal in the south. The GH belt is composed of ultramafic komatiite, basaltic komatiite, tholeiitic basalt and sediments of both chemical and clastic origin. These are represented by spinifex texured peridotite, talc-tremolite-chlorite-olivine schist, chlorite-magnetite-celsian-pyroxene schist, aluminous quartzites including greenish fuchsite quarzite with intercalated barytes, quartz-sericite-kyanite-sillimanite-garnet-staurolite schist and brecciated fuchsite quartzite. The entire assemblage is intruded by multi-pulse TTG gneisses and granites.
