Abstract
The Kabanga North and Kapalagulu intrusions form part of a >500-km belt of intrusions within the Kibaran orogenic belt of central Africa. Some of the intrusions within the belt host important ore deposits, notably Ni sulfides at Kabanga and Ni laterites at Musongati and Kapalagulu. Despite the economic significance of the intrusions their ages have remained unclear. Here, we present SHRIMP II U-Pb zircon ages, interpreted as magmatic ages of crystallization, for the Kabanga North intrusion (1403 ± 14 Ma) and for the Kapalagulu intrusion (1392 ± 26 Ma). These data, along with other geochronological and petrological data, support a model of a broadly coeval and cogenetic suite of mafic-ultramafic intrusions throughout the Kibaran orogenic belt, from northwest Tanzania through Burundi, and possibly as far south as the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
