"Rangwa/Ruri/Homa Mountain" is a prospect deposit site discovered in 1907 in Kenya Territory, Kenya. It is a deposit, not considered to be of world-class significance.1

Ree and thorium deposits are documented at "Rangwa/Ruri/Homa Mountain." Ree is present at a grade sufficient to have a strong effect on the economics of an excavation project.
