Exploring Timor-Leste: - Minerals Potential
Exploring Timor-Leste: - Minerals Potential Francisco da Costa Monteiro1, Vicenti da Costa Pinto2 Pacific Economic Cooperation Council-PECC Minerals Network Brisbane, Queensland 17-18 November 2003 1 Natural Resources Counterpart, Office of President, Palacio das Cinzas, Rua Caicoli Dili, Timor-Leste, +670 7249085, [email protected] 2 Director of Energy and Minerals, Ministry of Development and Environment, Fomento Building, Timor-Leste, + 670 7236320, [email protected] Abstract The natural and mineral resources, with which Timor-Leste is endowed are waiting to be developed in an environmentally friendly manner for the greater economic and social good of the people of the this newly independent nation. The major metallic minerals in Timor-Leste are gold, copper, silver, manganese, although further investigations are needed to determine the size, their vertical and lateral distribution. Gold is found as alluvial deposit probably derived from quartz veins in the crystalline schist of (Aileu Formation). It can also be found as ephithermal mineralisation such as in Atauro island. Nearby islands, Wetar, Flores, and Sumba islands of Indonesia Republic have produced gold deposit in a highly economic quantity. In Timor-Leste, the known occurrences of these precious minerals are mostly concentrate along the northern coastal area and middle part of the country associated with the thrust sheets. The copper- gold-silver occurrences associated with ophiolite suites resembling Cyprus type volcanogenic deposits have been reported from Ossu (Viqueque district), Ossuala (Baucau district), Manatuto and Lautem districts. The Cyprus type volcanogenic massive sulphides are usually between 500.000 to a few million tons in size or larger (UN ESCAP-report, 2003). -

Data in this report are drawn from the most recent available statistics from UNICEF and other United Nations agencies, and the Government of Timor-Leste. Cover photograph: © UNICEF Timor-Leste/2019/BSoares Girls take part in the ‘Kick for Identity’ junior football match to promote birth registration in Timor-Leste. © UNICEF Timor-Leste/2019/Helin THREE DECADES OF CHILD RIGHTS This has been a significant year for Timor-Leste. The 30th of August 2019 marked 20 years since the Popular Consultation, the countrywide vote that eventually led to the restoration of the country’s independence in 2002. The two decades that followed this momentous day have had their challenges, but have seen Timor- Leste achieve many milestones. The proportion of Timorese living in poverty reduced from 50 per cent in 2007 to 42 per cent in 2014. However, 49 per cent of children between the ages of 0 and 14 live below the national poverty line as of 2014. Undoubtedly, there is much work that still needs to be done. Towards this goal, UNICEF has worked closely with the Government of Timor- Leste, partners and donors to accelerate progress for children in the country: through the provision of technical and policy advice; advocacy; and supporting modeling initiatives or larger nationwide actions that draw attention to issues children face, drive change, and support actions that can catalyze progress. -
