  • Tectonic Patterns and Cenozoic Basalts in the Western Margin of the South China Sea
    AAPG International Conference d EtbihiJion '94 Augwt21-24, 1994, KualaLumpur,Malay.till Tectonic patterns and Cenozoic basalts in the western margin of the South China Sea POW-FOONG FAN School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 U_S.A. Abstract: The allochthonous fragments - Indosinia, Sibumasu, East Malaya, and Southwest Kalimantan - rifted from Gondwanaland and drifted northward. Indosinia collided with the Yangzi-Huanan terranes in Devonian or Early Carboniferous period and became part of the East Asia continent. Sibumasu collided· with East Asia continent and East Malaya during the Indosinian Orogeny (220-200 Ma). The Southwest Kalimantan terrane probably rifted from the northeast margin of Indosinia in the Cretaceous. ·At about 50 Ma the collision of the Indian continent into the Eurasian continent led to the fragmentation of Asia and was followed by the opening of the Andaman Sea, the clockwise rotation of the Indochina plate, and the rifting and the opening of the South China Sea. The Late Cretaceous alkaline intrusions in the Red River area of northern Vietnam formed during initial stage of rifting of the South China Sea. The Indian-Eurasian collision has successively pushed the Indochina Peninsula in the east­ southeast direction. Most of the Middle Tertiary movements probably occurred along the left-lateral Red River, Tonle Sap-Mekong faults concurrent with the opening of most of the eastern South China Sea. The extensional tectonics along these predominantly strike-slip faults may be responsible for the Pliocene­ Pleistocene alkaline basalts, which extend from the Mekong Delta northwestward into Thailand.

  • Geological Setting, Geochemistry and Genesis of the Sepon Gold and Copper Deposits, Laos
    Geological setting, geochemistry and genesis of the Sepon gold and copper deposits, Laos by Paul W. Cromie B.Sc. (Hons.), M.Sc. (Econ. Geol.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy CODES ARC Centre of Excellence in Ore Deposits University of Tasmania (UTAS), Australia June 2010 ABSTRACT This study documents the geology, mineralogy, geochronology and geochemistry of the Sepon Mineral District (SMD) gold and copper deposits. The SMD is located in the Sepon Basin along the Truong Son Fold Belt on the NE margins of the Indochina Terrane in south-eastern Laos. The geology of the SMD is dominated by Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian-aged continental fluvial and shallow to deep marine sedimentary rocks that were deposited in a half graben basin. Intrusion of rhyodacite porphyry (RDP) mainly occurred along pre-existing faults during the Early Permian, constrained by U-Pb dating of zircons to between 2806 and 2977 Ma. Three main hypogene mineralisation styles are recognised in the SMD, comprising distal sedimentary-rock hosted gold (SHGD), proximal skarn (Cu+Au) and central porphyry (Cu-Mo). Exploration programs in the SMD conducted by CRA/RioTinto (1993-1999), Oxiana Limited/OZ Minerals Limited (2000-2008) resulted in the discovery of a mineral district containing resources of 83 Mt @ 1.8 g/t Au for 4.75 million ounces of gold in seven separate but adjacent SHGD, and supergene copper at three deposits, namely the Khanong (27 Mt @ 4.3 % Cu), Thengkham North (11.4 Mt @ 2.7 % Cu) and Thengkham South (9.8 Mt @ 2.3 % Cu) deposits.

The results of the screening and ranking procedure indicate that the Khmer Basin is the most suitable basin, followed by the Kampong Saom and Tonle Sap basins. A quantitative volumetric assessment-based evaluation of CO2 storage capacity is performed on these three suitable basins. The evaluation yields a range in the national CO2 storage capacity of 90 Mt (in structural traps) to 45 Gt (in hydrodynamic traps), representing low- and high-case estimates, respectively. The saline aquifers associated with this storage capacity should be considered prospective storage options as hydrodynamic traps because of containment and capacity issues associated with the structural traps. Eight major point sources of CO2 are identified that have a combined output (estimated for 2008–2024) of 43.1 Mt annually and 82 billion m3 in place, and the potentially-prospective matched storage capacity is assumed.

The province has a potential for porphyry- type deposits such as porphyry copper-molybdenum (Halo prospect, China Wall prospect) and porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold (Okalla prospect). The Halo porphyry copper-molybdenum prospect lies 2km southeast of a strike slip fault trending NE-SW, known as the Phum Syarung-Dok Yong Fault corridor. The Halo prospect is hosted by intermediate to felsic intrusive and volcanic rocks. However, detailed geochemical characteristics of rocks, alteration lithogeochemistry, ore mineralization, fluid inclusion and sulfur isotope were not studied yet, which only one research was carried out on the Halo porphyry copper-molybdenite deposit, including geological mapping, termite mound geochemistry, short wave infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy on alteration mineral identification, and rock-chip geochemistry.

IHTRODUCTION AND GENERAL GEOGRAPHY Geography Laos is a country of about 236,800 square kilometers. It is land locked brodering China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma. Slightly smaller than West Germany it is mostly mountainous with only a small portion near the Mekong River being fertile. The Mekong River forms boundaries with Burma, Thailand, and Cambodia. Most of the country's 3,500,000 people are ctncentrated in the extreme southwest portion along the flood plain of the Mekong River. These people tend to a village type of culture while the other third who are "hill tribes" tend to a tribal type of culture. The first cultivate the fertile Mekong flood plain and Bolovens Plateau, the only other fertile area in a permanent repeating fashion, while the hill people use the slash-and-burn-move-on type cultivation.

    Chapter 1 – Introduction CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION This research documents the Sepon Mineral District (SMD) gold and copper deposits that occur in the Sepon Basin, along the southern boundary of the NW-trending Truong Son fold belt in south-central Laos. The central section of the SMD is located at longitude 105o59’E and latitude 16o58’N and is 40 km north of the town of Sepon and 130 km east of the provincial centre of Savannakhet in Savannakhet Province (Fig. 1.1). Mining of and exploration for gold and copper resources in the SMD occurs in a 1250 km2 Mineral Exploration and Production Agreement area (MEPA) referred to as the Sepon Project that is 100% operated by Lane Xang Minerals Limited (LXML), a local subsidiary formerly owned by OZ Minerals Limited (Manini et al., 2001; Manini and Albert, 2003; Smith et al., 2005; Cannell and Smith, 2008; Fig. 1.1). The SMD was purchased from OZ Minerals Limited in June 2009 by the Metals and Mining Group (MMG) owned by China Minmetals Non-ferrous Co. Ltd, a division of the China Minmetals Corporation. The known SMD gold and copper deposits and prospects occur in an E-W trending corridor, approximately 40 km long by 10 km wide. At least three broad mineralisation styles are recognised in the SMD: sedimentary rock-hosted Au (SHGD); Cu-Au skarn, and quartz stockwork porphyry Cu-Mo (Loader 1999; Manini et al., 2001; Cromie et al., 2004a, b; Cromie et al., 2006a, b; Smith et al., 2005; Olberg et al., 2006; Cannell and Smith, 2008).
