It shows a large antiformal structure involving orthogneisses and migmatites overlain, on its northern ¯ank, by muscovite bearing marbles. An E±W striking fault bounds the dome to the South. Kinematic indicators along a S±N section reveal top-to-the-N shear sense along the interface between the orthogneissic core and the overlying metasediments. Radiometric ages were obtained by the 40Ar± 39Ar method using puri®ed mica separates. Across the dome ages range from 236 Ma at the southern edge to 160 Ma in the core, attesting to a strong imprint in the Early Triassic time.

  • Mineral Resources Potential of Vietnam and Current State of Mining Activity
    N. Khoi/ Applied Environmental Research: 36 (1): 37-46 Applied Environmental Research Journal homepage : http://www.tcithaijo.org/index.php/jer Mineral Resources Potential of Vietnam and Current State of Mining Activity Nguyen Ngoc Khoi Hanoi University of Science (Vietnam National University, Hanoi) 334 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, Vietnam Corresponding Author’s E-mail: [email protected] Received: 2 May 2013/ Accepted: 10 October 2013/ Published online: 10 February 2014 Abstract 2 Vietnam, with an area of 331,210 km , occupies the eastern side of the Indochina peninsula. It forms a narrow (locally only 40-70 km) band of land, extending over 1,500 km along the East Sea (South China Sea). Vietnam is constituted mainly by the folded belts surrounding two shields, cratonised in the Upper Proterozoic: the Yangtze craton and the Indochina shield, located in the Mekong basin and occupying most of Cambodia and the contiguous parts of Laos and Vietnam. The folding occurred during the late Hercynian (early Triassic) orogenic movements, active mainly in the central and southern Vietnam and the Indosinian (late Triassic, ante Norian) orogeny. Various geological surveys have indicated that Vietnam is well endowed with a wide range of mineral resources. The country has some of the world's biggest resources of phosphate (apatite), bauxites, rare earths, and large, commercially viable deposits of oil, coal, gold, gemstones, copper, zinc, tin, chromite, manganese, titanium (mineral sands), graphite and other minerals. At present, Vietnam produces approximately 3.5 million tons of crude oil/year and its mineral production includes: coal (about 10.7 million tons/year), cement (1.6 million tons), phosphate (300,000 tons), chromite (3.5 million tons), iron ores, gold (around 1,000 kg, including production by the local population), cassiterite (3,000 tons), graphite, kaolin and many other minerals produced to serve domestic demand.

It represents the northern edge of the Indochina block and is separated from the South China block by the Songma fault. The zone is occupied mainly by Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and Mesozoic volcano－sedimentary successions that are intruded by Mesozoic intrusives and extrusives and by Cenozoic extrusives. Representative igneous rocks of the SNDZ were geochronologically investigated by the Rb－Sr whole rock and K－Ar biotite methods. The Rb－Sr ages obtained are 222 Ma for the Nuichua gabbros, 213 Ma for the Songma granitoid (SMG), 203 Ma for the Piabioc granitoid (PBG), 138 Ma for the Banmuong subvolca- nic granite, 27 Ma for the Banchieng granitoid (BCG), 218 Ma for the Dongtrau felsic volcanics, 186 Ma for the Muonghinh felsic volcanics and 5.8 Ma for the Cenozoic basaltic rocks (CBR). The K－Ar methods give 252 Ma for the SMG, 237 Ma for the PBG and 24 Ma for the BCG.

  • Age Distribution of Monazites from the Nine Rivers of Vietnam

More than 2500 age determinations were carried out on monazite and thorite grains sampled from rivers cutting through Vietnam. Monazite ages ranged up to 2600 Ma, but ages Ͼ540 Ma are rare or absent. In northern Vietnam, monazite has major peaks at 30 Ma and 260 Ma, whereas in the southern part, 240 Ma and 450 Ma are those mainly represented. These ages, except for 30 Ma, are the most common ages in the Indochina and Yangtze cratons. The detailed age dis- tributions for young monazite was clarified by analyses of thorites. In the Red River, the thorite age varies from 24 Ma to 55 Ma with major peak at 26 Ma. The peak age varies from river to river: 34 Ma for the Black River, 30 Ma for the Ma River and 24 Ma for the Ca River. These youngest ages are due to thermal event during shearing and left-lateral displacement along the rivers. A small peak at 50 Ma was found from the Red and Black rivers. Such an age has not been previously de- scribed from the areas along the rivers.

To explore the crustal evolution of Indochina, Sr and Nd isotopic and geochemical data for various rock types from the massif are reported. The basement rocks show a wide range of present day εNd values from −22 (gneiss) to +15 (amphibolite), yielding depleted-mantle model ages (TDM) from 1.2 to 2.4 Ga along with an “exceptionally” old TDM of 2.7 Ga for a granulite. These data indicate that crustal formation in the Indochina block took place principally during the Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic, and do not support the conventional notion that the Kontum core complex is composed of Archean rocks.

  • Chemistry of Geothermal Fluids in Dienbien and Sonla Provinces, Nw-Vietnam
    Orkustofnun, Grensasvegur 9, Reports 2016 IS-108 Reykjavik, Iceland Number 33 CHEMISTRY OF GEOTHERMAL FLUIDS IN DIENBIEN AND SONLA PROVINCES, NW-VIETNAM Pham Dieu Linh Vietnam Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources 67 Chien Thang Road, Ha Dong District Hanoi VIETNAM [email protected] ABSTRACT North-west Vietnam is a very special area where development of geothermal energy will be significant for socio-economic activities. The data in this project is taken from a previous research in 2004. Thirty-four samples are taken from 119 hot springs for further study, with the purpose of estimating and interpreting the chemical compositions of the water, by using the methods as triangle diagrams, geothermometers, evidence of mixing and log Q/K plot. The 34 samples were divided into 5 groups based on the location and structure of geology. The study results show that Group 1 with samples S1, S2, and S3 give a good estimation of the temperature of the reservoir from 73°C to 150°C with small deviation between methods. Group 2 with samples S8, S18, and S19 give a temperature from 76°C to 111°C. In Group 3 with samples S11 and S12, reservoir temperature is from 59°C to 110°C. Group 4 with S72 and S73 samples, the temperature of reservoir drops between 60-100°C. Group 5 with samples S6, S65, S75, S77, and S78 the reservoir temperatures estimated by silica geothermometers are quite low and they might be from a different reservoir. 1. INTRODUCTION Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable and enviromentally benign energy source which is based on the heat in the earth.

The Song Ma belt in northern Vietnam consists of ophiolite, metabasite, metasedi- mentary rocks and eclogite, and it is thought to be a suture zone between the Indochina and South China blocks. However, the nature and boundaries of the Song Ma belt and the collision age of the two blocks have long been debated. In this article, petrological and geochemical studies on the Song Ma ophiolite and eclogite and first sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) age dating of eclogite provide new light to resolve such debate. Eclogite consisting of garnet, omphacite, phengite, quartz, barroisite and rutile is closely associated with garnet–phengite–quartz schist in the ÔNam Co antiformÕ, a northern subunit of the Song Ma belt. The eclogite experienced a three-stage metamorphic evolution: (I) pre-eclogite stage (amphibolite facies) defined by inclusions of taramite, barroisite, quartz, zoisite ⁄ epidote, mica, rutile & rare chlorite in garnet, (II) eclogite stage and (III) retrograde stage of amphibolite to greenschist facies.

On the other hand, illuminate rocks and silver. However, supply sources are concentrated laterites have strong negative Eu anomaly. Clay in China. The share of the product of REE was minerals were observed by XRD analysis using highest in 2009 (over 90%) and that is used as a hydraulic elutriation. The result of REE pattern and national strategy.Mining industry in Vietnam is sequential extraction, it is indicated that the form mainly developed in northern part. Deposits of of HREE is changed and adsorbed to clay and principle metals are located around Hanoi, and LREE is leached out. In tailing in Stop 16, it is REE deposits (Dong Pao) is also explored in Lai observed that the concentration of HREE (about 3 Chau Province. On the other hand, few bauxite times to 5 times than that of before washing). Eu mine is in southern Vietnam and the REE anomaly is affected by reductive environment of exploration is not conducted enough.
