Fracturing to the NW‐trend (left‐lateral slip). This is perpendicular to the axis of bedding that is being folded. 2. Fracturing to the NE‐trend (parallel to the bedding) with associated thrust faults on both walls within Volcaniclastics at the general thrust direction towards the NE. 3. Up‐block faulting of the north and south blocks created by the crossing NE and NW fractures. The north block did not affect the prevailing bedding orientation (NE strike and SE dip) 4. Further up‐block faulting towards inside of the south block a. the south block fracture as it continuously move fast upwards than the rest of the blocks. b. The inside part of the split south block affected the beddings of the west block that tilted to the northwest (with the bed reversed in dip direction) as the south block continued to move up. 5. Fracturing to the NE‐trend (right‐lateral slip fault) of the western block with thrust faulting according to the slip direction on both walls within the bedded Volcaniclastics The Actual Measured Structures in The Pit TVI‐Resources Development Incorporated TVI‐Resources Development Incorporated Canatuan Copper‐Zinc Mine Canatuan Copper‐Zinc Mine The Actual Measured Structures in The Pit showing the creeks The Actual Measured Structures showing Pit Benches TVI‐Resources Development Incorporated TVI‐Resources Development Incorporated Canatuan Copper‐Zinc Mine Canatuan Copper‐Zinc Mine The Rupture Lines and Uplift Points The Deep Ruptures Nearest to Canatuan TVI‐Resources Development Incorporated Canatuan Copper‐Zinc Mine Only two of the 3 Deep Structures recognized from the Google Earth Map that are near the Canatuan Mine were identified using the contour and creek linears. These are the NE‐trending fault and the WNW‐trending fault. The NNW‐trending fault was only recognized during mapping within the Canatuan Pit. This NNW‐trending fracture prevails throughout time among all mineralization‐controlling structures. This NNW‐trend is parallel to the Philippine Fault The Canatuan Structures.
