		Phase I of the program comprises barge operations on the rivers, principally the Cuanza and the Luando, combined with reconnaissance pitting and trenching on the floodplain and areas where higher terraces might be expected to occur.
		The primary target area for alluvial deposits within the concession is a meander complex that results from extensive westward migration of the Cuanza River, on the right-bank, downstream from its confluence with the Luando River.
		A preliminary structural interpretation of the satellite imagery indicates the presence of numerous lineaments that parallel and cross-cut various sections of the river.

		Mussende is a small, isolated town, in the Cuanza Sul Province in northern Angola, located 134 kilometres from Malange, the provincial capital of Malange province.
		The three main access roads to the town have been all but useless as all the bridges along the routes that cross the immense Cuanza River were destroyed during the 27 year long war, preventing almost all vehicle access.
		MSF's first entry in September came after a two-hour drive from Malange to the Cuanza river, then canoes to cross the Cuanza River - at a point almost 250m wide - and then on bicycle to ride another 85kms to the town.

	Game fishing
		The Cuanza River is privileged in the number of world records it holds for well-known species of game fish such as Jack Crevalle and Giant African Threadfin.
		However, the river is particularly famous for the quality of its Tarpon fishing, where specimens of record proportions have been caught over the years.
		The administration of MANGAIS SARL is dedicated to the protection of the natural fauna and flora of the area, so with this in mind, a decision was made to sponsor a Tarpon fishing tournament.

		Excluding Cabinda, Angola is roughly square in shape, extending 1,277 km from the northern to the southern border, and 1,236 km from the mouth of the Cunene river to the Zambian border.
		The Cassai (Kasai), Cuilo (Kwilu) and Cuango rivers are known more for their importance to Zaire than for their upper reaches in Angola, although many tributaries of the Kasai intersect the Angolan plateau, exposing rich diamond fields in the Lunda provinces.
		On the other hand, along the Cuanza river, in the north-west and north-east, and in the eastern and southern provinces, high temperatures and heavy seasonal rainfall discouraged European colonization wherever there were no economic incentives, such as coffee in the Congo provinces of Zaire and Uige, and diamonds in Lunda.
