"The Patronage produced 1.81 tons of tin concentrates from 1943 to 1949." (Mineral Trade Notes (1953))

Complex, highly greisenized NE-striking pegmatite within metabasalts. Petalite and lepidolite disseminated in the greisen.

Note: Currently used GPS coordinates on Mindat place the locality in Mashonaland East, not in Harare.
