A swarm of pegmatites is intruding at the contact of granite gneiss and amphibolite/chamockite near the Bhurpidungri village. These pegmatites are well-zoned with prominent quartz core, intermediate zone and wall zone. About 4 tonnes of manganocolumbite has been estimated in the gravels of these pegmatites for exploitation.
