    Abstract: Tectonic elements including planar as well as brittle discontinuities of the gneissic basement in the Kanke area were mapped and analyzed with the sole aim of understanding the tectonic evolution of the terrain. The evolution commenced with a ductile gneissose layering phase which led to the emplacement of a major NE-SW and a minor N-S planar foliation surfaces. This was followed by a probably Pan-African phase which is more brittle and led to the formation of NW-SE fracture systems including joints, quartzo-feldspathic veins, pegmatitic, quartz and doleritic veins.
