Detailed field studies revealed that this area comprises two main rock types of the metasediments: 1) psammitic and psammopelitic schists and 2) cataclastic rocks. The psammitic and psammopelitic schists are classified according to grade of metamorphism into: tremolite-actinolite schists, graphite schists, tourmaline-bearing schists, beryl-bearing schists, quartzitic schists and garnet-bearing schists. Cataclastic rocks comprise protomylonitic, blastomylonitic and ultramylonitic schists. The geochemical characters of these rocks revealed that they are comparable with the non-peralkaline, peraluminous, continental and/or oceanic island arc sandstones.
