Monte Muambe, Inactive volcano in Tete Province, Mozambique
Monte Muambe rises 780 meters above sea level with a 6-kilometer external diameter and contains a caldera that descends 200 meters deep.
The volcanic formation dates back to the Mesozoic era when the region experienced sedimentation processes influenced by volcanic activity associated with the Karroo System.
Local geological researchers study the carbonatite deposits and fluorite reserves at Monte Muambe to understand their economic potential for Mozambique's mining sector.
Access to Monte Muambe requires local transportation from Moatize town, with limited infrastructure and services available in the surrounding area.
The caldera contains vast deposits of pure fluorite, estimated at 1.1 trillion tonnes according to the Zambezi Valley Spatial Development Initiative.
