The Mineral Resources of Cyprus AGE FORMATION MINERAL THE MINERAL RESOURCES RESOURCE OF CYPRUS GEOLOGICAL MAP OF CYPRUS ALLUVIUM HOL. CLAY 0.01 FANGLOM. Cyprus has both metallic and non-metallic (industrial) mineral resources. The metallic mineral resources and the asbestos PLEIST. 35°30'N 1.8 ATHALASSA CALCARENITE deposits are associated with the Troodos Ophiolite. The metallic Keryneia mineral resources include chromite and sulphides (copper and (Kyrenia) pyrite ores). The industrial minerals include gypsum, crushed aggregates, clay, bentonite, chalk, marl, building stone, and MARL natural pigments. Lefkosia (Nicosia) CLAY Ammochostos Metallic Minerals: The genesis of chromite is directly (Famagusta) NICOSIA associated with the genesis of the ophiolite and in particular with CALCARENITE the plutonic rocks (dunite) through the process of fractional PLIOCENE crystallisation of the magma. 35°0'N Larnaka The sulphide deposits are associated with the pillow lavas of the 5 Troodos Ophiolite. More than 30 deposits have been discovered, KALAVASOS GYPSUM ranging in size from less than 50,000 tonnes to more than Pafos REEF 20,000,000 tonnes with a copper content from less than 0.3% to LIMESTONE 4.5%. Chalcopyrite, chalcocite, covellite, bornite and cuprite Lemesos (Limassol) represent the main copper minerals. The origin of the pyrite ore CALCARENITE bodies is associated with the formation of new oceanic crust 32°30'E 33°0'E 33°30'E 34°0'E 34°30'E through seafloor spreading.

    United Nations S/2007/328 Security Council Distr.: General 4 June 2007 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Operation in Cyprus I. Introduction 1. The present report on the United Nations operation in Cyprus covers developments from 25 November 2006 to 25 May 2007, and brings up to date the record of activities carried out by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) pursuant to Security Council resolution 186 (1964) and subsequent Council resolutions, the most recent being resolution 1728 (2006). 2. As at 30 April 2007, the strength of the military component stood at 856 all ranks and the strength of the police component stood at 64 (see annex). II. Mission of good offices and other developments 3. On 15 December, the Security Council adopted resolution 1728 (2006), by which, inter alia, it expressed full support for the process agreed upon by the Greek Cypriot leader, Tassos Papadopoulos, and the Turkish Cypriot leader, Mehmet Ali Talat, on 8 July 2006, and encouraged active participation in bicommunal discussions as described in the letter dated 15 November 2006 from the then Under-Secretary-General Ibrahim Gambari, to which both leaders had responded positively, under the auspices of my Special Representative. The Security Council called for the early completion of the preparatory phase so that a fully fledged good offices process might resume as soon as possible. At the same time, the Council regretted the continued lack of trust between the parties, which had prevented the implementation of the 8 July agreement. 4. Over the past six months, my Special Representative has continued efforts aimed at facilitating the implementation of the 8 July agreement (see S/2006/572) through intensive discussions with the two leaders and their representatives.
