The Brandberg Complex represents an anorogenic ring complex of the intra-plate type emplaced during Jurassic-Cretaceous times at a high level in the crust. At the present level of erosion the complex exhibits a number of subvolcanic, magmatic centres which are entirely granitic in composition. Metaluminous granites and quartz-monzonitic rocks were emplaced as cone-sheets outside the later caldera or as thick, ring-shaped sheets. Peraluminous granites occupy the central part of the complex and are followed by peripheral peralkaline granites. All rock types associated with the Brandberg Complex carry significant mineralogical and geochemical features of HHP, A-type granites with anomalous high levels for HFS- and LIL-elements. Several types of postmagmatic, hydrothermal alteration processes were recognised which are similar to those associated with anorogenic complexes in Nigeria.
