    Intrusion-Related Gold Systems. a Brief Summary by Bruce Pertzel

    Appendix 2 Intrusion-related Gold Systems. A brief summary by Bruce Pertzel. Intrusion‐related Gold Systems – Brief Summary The new frontier for new discoveries of significant large gold deposits ‐ Intrusive‐related gold systems [IRGS] – a Brief Summary of Characteristics and Identifiable Features (relevant to greenfields exploration) The classification of Intrusion‐related gold systems (IRGS) is a relatively recent development. Hart (2005) points out that no serious and comprehensive research of the genesis of gold deposits commenced until 1980 when the price of gold increased significantly. Baker (2003) cites the progression of classification of gold deposits related to magmatic rocks as commencing with the term porphyry gold deposits (after the usage of porphyry copper deposits) in 1992 by Hollister. This ignores the fact that Sillitoe (1979) had earlier introduced the concept of a porphyry gold deposit style. The next variation in the classification was used in 1995 by Bakker ‐ Fort Knox Style and since then the progression continued with Intrusive Gold (Newberry et al 1995); Plutonic Gold (McCoy et al, 1997); Intrusion‐related Gold (Thompson et al, 1999 and Granitoid Gold (Goldfarb et al, 1999). The generally accepted classification term is now Intrusion‐related Gold Systems (IRGS). It is reasonable to suggest that there remains an amount of confusion over the classification and many deposits might be included in such a classification without warranting such. However classifications are only convenient pigeon holes commonly used in geology and it should be remembered that each ore deposit has its own specific and unique characteristics and not all deposits exhibit all characteristics of any particular classification.

  • Coastal Shrimp Farming in Thailand: Searching for Sustainability

    Coastal Shrimp Farming in Thailand: Searching for Sustainability

    7 Coastal Shrimp Farming in Thailand: Searching for Sustainability B. Szuster Department of Geography, University of Hawai’i at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Shrimp farming in Thailand provides a fascinating example of how the global trade in agricultural com- modities can produce rapid transformations in land use and resource allocation within coastal regions of tropical developing nations. These transformations can have profound implications for the long-term integrity of coastal ecosystems, and represent a significant challenge to government agencies attempting to manage land and water resources. Thailand’s shrimp-farming industry has suffered numerous regional ‘boom and bust’ production cycles that created considerable environmental damage in rural communities. At a national scale, these events were largely masked, however, by a shifting cultivation strategy and local adaptations in husbandry techniques. This chapter outlines the need to upgrade plan- ning systems, improve water supply infrastructure and enhance extension training services within coastal communities to address ongoing systemic environmental management problems within the Thai shrimp-farming industry.

    The Kinship Relations of Thai-Lao Communities Along Mekong River Banks: a Case of Mukdahan-Savannakhet Community and Recommendations for Improving Thai-Lao Relations*

    Research Articles The kinship relations of Thai-Lao communities along Mekong River banks: a case of Mukdahan-Savannakhet community and recommendations for improving Thai-Lao Relations* Watunyu Jaiborisudhi1*, Wichian Intasi1 and Ampa Kaewkumkong1 1Institute of East Asian Studies, Thammasat University, Pathum Thani, 12121, Thailand. Abstract Background: The bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos were initially based on a good perception for a long time. It can be said that Thai policy towards relations with Laos was adhered to the old discourse, which believed that Thailand and Laos are Sister Countries, and thus presumed the close tie between them. While Thai myth believed that they were strong bilateral relations, Lao people, on the contrary, believed that the aforementioned discourse implied an insult of Thai people towards Laotian. Objective: 1. To study the cause of the problems concerning the bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos. 2. To study the relative advantage of the bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos. Results: The study of the comparison of the advantage and disadvantage between Thailand and Vietnam on the relationship with Lao showed that Thailand was relatively disadvantaged in comparison to Vietnam in all aspects. However, the Researcher has proposed the advantage that Thailand possesses over the bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos, namely, the kinship relations of the communities along both Mekong River banks included Mukdahan-Savannakhet community which was closely sustained. Discussion: This research is to study the causes of the bilateral relations problem, and to present the advantages over the improving of the bilateral relations between Thailand and Laos under the historical research and the concept of National interest.

  • Not for Quote the OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AS

    Not for Quote the OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AS

    Preliminary Draft: not for Quote THE OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AS A CATALYST OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND INDUSTRIAL AGGLOMERATION Matsuo WATANABE Japan Institute of International Affairs 1. INTRODUCTION This chapter is intended to investigate the contribution of infrastructure development financed by official development assistance (ODA) to attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and formation of industrial agglomeration with reference to the automotive industry in Thailand. Thailand has been one of the major production bases in the ASEAN, and currently there are 700 automotive-related companies. The origin of the industry in Thailand dates back to the 1960s when the country invited foreign manufacturers, mainly Japanese, under the import substitution industrialisation (ISI) strategy. The country subsequently changed to an export-oriented strategy in the beginning of the 1970s afterwards which has led to the remarkable success of industrialisation (including automotive sector) and economic development. The success of Thai automotive industry is represented by the expansion of volume of production and export which has been the largest among ASEAN members. This expansion is enabled by a concentration of investments in the industry (known as ‘agglomeration’), among others, from foreign part suppliers in the Eastern Seaboard (ESB) area. The determinants of FDI have been analysed in number of past literature including FDI to the ASEAN economies in which provision of infrastructure as well as existence of industrial agglomeration have positive impacts on attracting FDI1. 1 For example, Kohama and Urata (2001) stress the importance of host countries’ condition in 1 This study investigates how the agglomeration of automotive industry has taken place in Thailand.
  • Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization

    Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization

    Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization Effective Integrated Pre-hospital Emergency Care System Abstract The unpleasant world championship, According to the World Atlas website, about the country with the highest road deaths in the world in 2017, Thailand has moved up to the top of the world. It was found that the death rate was 36.2 cases per 100,000 populations. While government policies have been set up to prevent road accidents, including accident relief measures. The emphasis is on the preparation of the emergency medical service system so that people can access the emergency medical system thoroughly, equally and with standard quality. Therefore, they have set up a notification and dispatch center in every province, using the number 1669 as the emergency notification and emergency number to assist emergency patients in a timely manner. Ther centers will be set up with the hospital in each province. Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization has created an innovative approach to integrating the new dimension of work in order to help people with illnesses and emergency situations thoroughly and effectively. It was set up as a public service by the local government based on authority and mission that was effectively transferred. This serves the needs of people in all areas, enhances people's quality of life and reduces the rate of loss of life and disability of people in the area. We hope that this innovation will be useful for the development of emergency medical systems for local governments in all areas. More importantly, we would like to thank all the working groups and networking parties involved in driving this innovation.
