  • Walking in Hato Builico Timor Leste

To date, more than 40 councils across Australia have participated. Walking in Hato Builico The Blue Mountains committee is made up of community members, councillors and council staff from Blue Mountains City Council, all committed to improving the lives of the rural community of Hato Builico. A partner committee of residents of Hato Timor Leste Builico assesses the needs of the community and liaises with the Blue Mountains to progress projects. Fundraising events are organised regularly by volunteers.

Projects so far have included: Refurbishment of a community centre for training and community meetings Scholarships for 43 students to attend primary school, high school and university Collaborations between schools in East Timor and Blue Mountains Hedge seedlings to counteract the effects of deforestation Solar panels for the community centre Two water tanks for the community centre (supported by Rotary) Sports equipment, school equipment, readers and guitars for schools as well as participation in training for sports teaching And of course – this project!

    Exploring Timor-Leste: - Minerals Potential Francisco da Costa Monteiro1, Vicenti da Costa Pinto2 Pacific Economic Cooperation Council-PECC Minerals Network Brisbane, Queensland 17-18 November 2003 1 Natural Resources Counterpart, Office of President, Palacio das Cinzas, Rua Caicoli Dili, Timor-Leste, +670 7249085, [email protected] 2 Director of Energy and Minerals, Ministry of Development and Environment, Fomento Building, Timor-Leste, + 670 7236320, [email protected] Abstract The natural and mineral resources, with which Timor-Leste is endowed are waiting to be developed in an environmentally friendly manner for the greater economic and social good of the people of the this newly independent nation. The major metallic minerals in Timor-Leste are gold, copper, silver, manganese, although further investigations are needed to determine the size, their vertical and lateral distribution. Gold is found as alluvial deposit probably derived from quartz veins in the crystalline schist of (Aileu Formation). It can also be found as ephithermal mineralisation such as in Atauro island. Nearby islands, Wetar, Flores, and Sumba islands of Indonesia Republic have produced gold deposit in a highly economic quantity. In Timor-Leste, the known occurrences of these precious minerals are mostly concentrate along the northern coastal area and middle part of the country associated with the thrust sheets. The copper- gold-silver occurrences associated with ophiolite suites resembling Cyprus type volcanogenic deposits have been reported from Ossu (Viqueque district), Ossuala (Baucau district), Manatuto and Lautem districts. The Cyprus type volcanogenic massive sulphides are usually between 500.000 to a few million tons in size or larger (UN ESCAP-report, 2003).
