A detailed geological investigation was carried out to assess the distribution of minerals and their geological control in Bandipur-Gondrang area of Tanahu district, a part of Lesser Himalaya in central Nepal. The area is found rich in both metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits. The main metallic minerals found are iron in Phalamdada and Labdi Khola, copper in Bhut Khola and poly-metallic deposits including suspected gold in Bhangeri Khola and Jaubari Khola-Bar Khola sections. A large deposit of inorganic carbon is found around the Gondrang-Watak area. Similarly, a good quality of green marble (metabasite) is found as decorative stone in Bagar Khola area and good quality of roofing stone in Bandipur area. In addition to these economic deposits other several sub economic to non-economic mineral are also located in the geological map of the area. Categorization of these mineral deposits is based on the probable reserve and laboratory analysis of related samples. Geological control of mineral deposits is considered to be the stratigraphic, structural, metamorphic and hydrothermal. Iron mineralization of the area is found stratigraphical control, copper deposits by magmatism of basic rocks (amphibolites), and poly-metallic deposits are related to the hydrothermal processes.

The procedure used to discover subsurface formations where mineral resources may exist normally requires the accumulation and processing of large amounts of data concerning the earth’s fields. Data errors may strongly affect the conclusions drawn from the analysis. Thus, a method of checking for errors is essential. Since the field should be relatively smooth locally, a typical approach is to fit the data to a surface described by a low‐order polynomial. Deviations of data points from this surface can then be used to detect errors. Frequently a least‐squares approximation is used to determine the surface, but results could be misleading. Linear programming can be applied to give more satisfactory results. In this approach, the sum of the absolute values of the deviations is minimized rather than the squares of the deviations as in least squares. This paper describes in detail the formulation of the linear programming problem and cites an example of its application to error detection. Through this formulation, once errors are removed, the results are meaningful physically and, hence, can be used for detecting subsurface phenomena directly.

The earliest Russian geologic map, the “Map of the Environs of the Nerchinsk Mining Establishment (1789–1794)”, was found in the Central State Historical Archive, Leningrad in 1925. At that time it was described by Presnyakov (1927). Shortly after that, the map was lost from view and was not available for study until recently. This paper investigates the provenance and history of the manuscript map in six sheets. It is likely that the Russian government commissioned the map in order to assess the mineral resources of the Nerchinsk district. The map was the result of six summer field seasons where the six base maps showing stream networks and topography were assembled using compasses and tapes. The rock types were superimposed on the base maps and depicted using different colors. The mapping effort was overseen by Egor Barboth de Marny, the director of the Nerchinsk mining establishment, and the fieldwork was undertaken by Dorofey Lebedev, Mikhail Ivanov and Alexey Cheredov. The innovative use of color may have been inspired by earlier maps of mining districts in Germany and suggested by Benedict Franz Johann Hermann, a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

The Relationship

Research about Oligo-Miocene limestones in Java has always been interesting to study in order to understand the relationship between tectonic-volcanic, sedimentation, and petroleum potential. The Lengkong limestone formation is interesting to study especially its sedimentology aspects. There is no Scientific Publication about the Lengkong Formation which discusses detailed sedimentology aspects. Those aspects are important to modify the geological map, scale of 1: 50000 which was published by the ministry of energy and mineral resources. This research was conducted to determine the sedimentology process and development of a depositional environment of the Lengkong formation in the Cimapag River. The research area is located in Neglasari, Lengkong District, Sukabumi. The method used includes field surveys and laboratory analysis. A field survey embodies sedimentology data collection and rock sampling, which was then made into a detailed stratigraphic column. Rock samples were analyzed petrographically for 12 samples to determine microfacies. The results cover three limestone facies, namely wackestone, wackestone-packstone, and packstone facies. The sedimentation of the Lengkong Formation indicates a sea-level decrease of the Interbuild Basin Floor to Deep Marine Off reef

The study area represents a small part of the Lesser Himalaya in western Nepal and lies about 346 km west from Kathmandu. It covers 250 km area representing some parts of Gulmi and Baglung districts. The area was selected for the present study on the impression from the previous geological map that has showed some metallic mineral resources like iron, copper and lead in the region. Similarly, studies reveal that there is very complicated geological structure which raised the interest for the study. Main objective of the study was to prepare a geological map of the area in a scale of 1:25,000 and study the possible mineral deposits. An extensive geological mapping was carried out in the field covering at one data within one centimetre of the map scale and large number of samples was collected for the petrographic as well as ore genesis studies. The rocks of the region were mapped under two geological units as the Nourpul Formation (older) and the Dhading Dolomite (younger).  There are a series of folds in the area. From regional to micro-scale all folds are trending towards east-west. The Badi Gad Fault and the Harewa Khola Thrust are the regional scale thrust mapped in the area. The Badi Gad is considered as a strike-slip in nature. The Harewa Khola Thrust is probably an imbricate fault. It has propagated to the north which is out of sequence in nature. Some metallic minerals like copper and iron along with old working mines were observed during the study. Occurrences of copper and iron mineralization has been mapped and described. Present study revealed that copper mineralization is limited within the veins and boudinage forms as hydrothermal deposit while the iron is tabular and syngenetic in nature.

The sites of Benteng Saksi and Kuripan Saka are the center of settlement or the capital of Keratuan Darah Putih. The research was conducted in Kuripan Village, Penengahan District, South Lampung Regency. The research objective was to determine the factors causing the sites of Benteng Saksi and Kuripan Saka suitable for settlements. The method used is a field survey and interpretation of geological map data. The results of field observations and mapping showed that the areas of the sites of Benteng Saksi and Kuripan Saka were included in the morphological unit of undulating plains with an average height of 50 m above sea level consisting of tertiary-quaternary and alluvial volcanoclastic deposits. The rock lithology found was Breccia Rocks from the eruption of Rajabasa Volcano and Tufan Sandstones. Based on the analysis of basic physical aspects of the area such as the physical characteristics of the rocks, morphological conditions, availability of water sources, and disaster factors in the area of Benteng Saksi and Kuripan Saka sites, it does not indicate any problems in terms of the basic physical aspects of the area.

Lithological Composition

The region of the Metohiyan depression and its complex geological margin is a morphotectonic entity formed over the complicated structures of the basement. The first glance of the orographic-geological map or satellite image shows the hexagonal shape of the depression, in clear contrast to the linear structure of the Vardar Zone. Sedimentation of Neogene deposits began in a trough, the "main shape of which was finished" and the depression itself had been formed and modified over a long period of time. This is indicated by the slight deformations of the Miocene deposits, somewhat stronger along the rim of the basin, and the relatively great thickness of the Neogene in general, uniformity in lithological composition and other characters of deposits. This region in the south of Serbia was much explored during the last (20th) century, in the latter half in particular, when abundant and interesting information was collected on the geology, structural pattern and mineral resources. Some of the newly collected information has been published and threw new light on the geology of the Metohiyan depression and its margin. Other data, also important, have remained unpublished in numerous documentation funds. Gaps in the geological knowledge of the Metohiyan depression and its margin, viewed through reference data, account for the missing links of many facts and fragmentation. Also, for some reason, a more comprehensive and reliable idea of the geological relationships or evolution is difficult to conceive. This work will present the idea of the Metohiya Basin as a ring structure like one resulting from a meteorite impact. In view of its form (morphology) and some indirect indications, there are few conclusive indications that it is an impact structure of about 50 km in diameter. Why? "Sometimes one should know what to look for to be able to see it". From this standpoint, so far actual facts of a certainly strong impact have neither been viewed nor their evidence searched for from any aspect (atomic-molecular, mineralogical, crystallographic, petrochemical, geoelectrical, structural, etc.). Structures in the marginal parts of the Metohiya Basin, which have different strike directions (NW-SE, NE-SW, ENE-WSW, E-W, N-S), may be well interpreted should it be accepted that they border an impact ring structure.
