Uranium mineralization is associated with a paleochannel. The area consists of a flat pediplain dissected by westward draining drainage basin that trends southwest-northeast. A layer of gypcrete less than 3-m thick covers the area consists of coarse, unsorted angular granitic and quartzitic fragments. Mineralization is present as a 16 km long by 2 km wide tabular sheet that occurs at depths ranging from 2 to 17 m below the surface. The ore zone ranges from between 1 and 2 m in thickness. Carnotite is present as blebs or veinlets and as thin coatings around pebbles and clasts.

Ore reserves, using a cut off grade of 80 g/t U3O8 indicate ore tonnage of 360 million tons, U3O8 tonnage of 39500 tons, average grade 100 g/t.

Further potential exists in the area for uranium mineralization

The deposit is situated some 17 km northwest of the Trekkopje Siding east of the farm Arandis 259.
