TextPublisher: Yangon: Geology Department, 2002Description: vi, 44p., 30 cmSubject(s): Degree of MasterDDC classification: T-1 M.Sc (Thesis) Dissertation note: This research was directed towards mineralogical investigation of copper mineralization and associated minerals in Khwayaik,Myozo and Bawsaing areas.Copper sulphide deposit occurs at the Khwayaik Taung.The Mineralization occurs in Wunbye Formation of Khwayaik and Bawsaing areas.At Myozo area, copper carbonate is associated with baryte in Nan-on Fornmation. At Khwayaik area, ore minerals include copper minerals (tetrahedrite - tennantite, chalcocite,chalcopyrite) and pyrite. At Bawsaing area,ore minerals include galena, tetrahedrite , chalcopyrite, covellite,pyrite and chalcocite .Quartz and sericite are gangue minerals.The copper and lead minerals were found as massive veins, stringers veinlets and also as disseminations.By the detailed study in the adits the mineralization is found closely related to fracture zone .The formation of mineralization is more favorable in porous dolomitic limestone host rock and the fracture opening support to the formation of ore minerals.In the Bawsaing and Khwayaik ores are found as fracture filling, vug filling and pore space filling . The mineralization is characterized by host rock alteration, in the form of silicification, serializations, Dolomitisation,limonisation,kaolinisation,bleaching and development of gossans . Recrystallization,replacement and cataclastic textures are characteristically very common in large and microscopic sales.All the available data from current research show that ore mineralization is the result of hydrothermal activity.
