Petrology and Au-PGE investigation dataset of the recent alluvial sediments from the Ngaye River watershed, northern Cameroon.

ABSTRACT: Petrological data of the recent alluvial sediments from the Ngaye River watershed in the Northern Cameroon were used in order to infer their origin with the probable source rocks as gneisses, amphibolites, and granites; and to investigate the occurrence of precious metals like Gold and Platinum Group Elements (Au-PGE). The Ngaye River watershed is located in the Adamawa plateau from the Adamawa-Yade Domain (AYD) in the Central Cameroon, Central Africa. This region is characterized by two contrasted seasons which induce a savanna vegetation cover with gallery forests along the rivers. The field works were done during the dry season. During this season, several whole fractions of sediments were sampled at six vertical lithological sequences along the right terrace of the Ngaye Rivers. The se
