The Danaya pegmatite swarm accounts for about 30% of the resource at Goulamina; it is approximately 400 m wide and can be traced over >1.5 km. The pegmatites at Danaya are typically thinner than the intrusions at Main, West, and Sangar and are orientated north-south, instead of northwest-southeast.
