Ma muli o ka ulu ʻana o ka tectonic o ka lithosphere, nā hōʻuluʻulu mineral, a me nā kūlana kūkulu ʻōpala, ua māhele ʻia ka ʻāina ʻApelika (me ka Arabian Peninsula a me Madagascar) i 31 mau kāʻei metallogenic, nona he 27 ma ka ʻāina nui o ʻApelika. Ma ka pae tectonic mua, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia kēia mau mea i ʻehā mau kikowaena nui: ʻo ka West African Metallogenic Domain, ka East African Metallogenic Domain, ka Arabian Peninsula Metallogenic Domain, a me ka Madagascar Metallogenic Domain. I loko o kēlā me kēia kikowaena, ua hana ʻia nā mahele hou aʻe i nā ʻāpana metallogenic ʻelua a me ke kolu e like me nā ʻano lithospheric.
ʻĀpana Metallogenic ʻApelika Komohana (W)
ʻO ke Komohana ʻApelika Metallogenic Domain kekahi o nā wahi hoʻohuihui mineral koʻikoʻi loa o ka ʻāina. Hoʻopuni ia i ʻekolu ʻano lithospheric—cratonic, orogenic, a me rift-related—a mālama i nā waihona koʻikoʻi o ka honua o nā daimana, keleawe, gula, a me nā mea platinum-group.
Nā ʻĀpana Metallogenic Cratonic (WCI)
ʻO ka ʻĀpana Metallogenic Cratonic Archean o ʻApelika Komohana (WCI-1): ʻO ka hapa nui o nā sedimentary a me nā placer ma ke ʻano, ua waiwai kēia ʻāpana i nā phosphates, potash, nā placers daimana, a me nā placers gula. ʻO nā waihona maʻamau e komo pū ana me ka lua manganese Ansongo-Agaula a me ka waihona gula Banmba.
ʻO ka Congo Archean Cratonic Metallogenic Zone (WCI-2): Ua māhele ʻia kēia ʻāpana i loko o ka subzone metallogenic daimana-lead-zinc-gold o ka muliwai ʻo Zaire a me ke kāʻei metallogenic hao-manganese-gula-tungsten-tin o East Zaire. Loaʻa iā ia nā waihona papa honua e like me ka mea hoʻonoho daimana nui ʻo Tshikapa a me ka waihona hao nui ʻo Isiro.
ʻO Kalahari Archean Cratonic Metallogenic Zone (WCI-3): ʻO kēia kahi mea hana nui o nā daimana a me nā mea platinum-group. Aia ka lua daimana nui ʻo Orapa a me ka Great Dyke o Zimbabwe (chromium-platinum-nickel) ma ʻaneʻi, me nā hanana o ka uranium, potash, a me ka lanahu.
Nā ʻĀpana Metallogenic Orogenic (WO1)
ʻO ka Proterozoic Orogenic Metallogenic Zone (WOI-1): Me ʻehiku mau kāʻei metallogenic o ke kolu o ke kauoha, ʻo kēia ʻāpana kahi mea hana nui o ka hao, ke gula, ke keleawe, a me ka uranium ma ʻApelika. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona kaulana e komo pū ana me ka waihona hao hao nui ʻo Guelb Zednes a me ka waihona gula nui ʻo Prestea-Beta ma ke kāʻei metallogenic West African Shield, a me ka Lufilian Arc, kahi e mālama ai i ka waihona polymetallic keleawe-uranium-gula-molybdenum nui ʻo Kansanshi—kahi ʻāpana keleawe-cobalt kaulana o ka honua.
Paleozoic Orogenic Metallogenic Zone (WOI-2): Pili kēia i ke kāʻei metallogenic Cape phosphate-gold placer, kahi i hoʻomalu ʻia e nā sedimentary phosphates a me nā waihona gold-platinum-group placer.
Nā ʻĀpana Metallogenic e pili ana i ka Rift (WLI)
ʻO ke kāʻei metallogenic Cameroon–Niger Rift (WLI-1): Hoʻopuka i nā ores kēpau-zinc hydrothermal, me ke kalapona sedimentary a me nā hydrocarbons.
ʻO Karroo Rift Metallogenic Zone (WLI-2): Hoʻonui ʻia i nā daimana i hoʻokipa ʻia e kimberlite, ka uranium sedimentary, a me ka lanahu, aia pū kēia ʻāpana me ka waihona daimana nui ʻo Fiksburg.
