7. Geological potential of the prospect area
7.1 Geological setting
a) Regional Geological setting
the Solomon island and new guinea are part of a continue mal island arc system formed
by the collision of the north moving Australia indie plate with the south west moving
Pacific Plate. Subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Australia India Plate resulted
in partial melting of the Pacific Plate and diapiric rise of magma domes into the Australia
India Plate. Initial subduction occurred in a south westerly direction and this process
may have been initiated as early as late Eocene time. A reversal of the subduction is
thought to have occurred near the end of the Miocene when north-east directed
subduction along the south west margin of the archipelago was initiated. The tectonic
setting of the Solomon Island is presented in Figure 7.1.1
















Figure 7.1.1 The tectonic setting of the Solomon Island with Guadalcanal


Initial work to place the Solomon Island Group into a regional tectonics framework was
that by P. Coleman in the 1960s. Coleman came up with the concept of a Geological
Province Model (Figure 3-4).

7.2. Geological Province Model
Coleman initially divided the Solomon Island block into 4 geological provinces known as
(a) central Geological Province; (b). Volcanic Geological Province; (c). Pacific Geological
Province and; (d). Atoll Geological Province.
















Figure 7.2.1 Geological regional guadalcanal


1. Fractured Arc Concept

Brian D. Hackman (1980) used the concept of fractured arc involving rifting and block-
faulting to explain the double en echelon chain nature of the island in wich Choiseul,

Santa Isabel and Malaita occur on the northern chain while Bouganville, the New
Georgia Group, Guadalcanal and San Christobal occur in the southern chain.
Atempts to incorporate the fractured arc model into a geo-tectonic framework were
taken up by other (Harris of Gualer Resourches Limited, 1998) in the late 1990s. Their
work mentions there major tectonic events involving subduction related events
between the Australian an Pacific tectonic plates.
According to this concept, the Solomon Island is composed of two sub-parallel
northwest-southeast trending volcanic island archs situated on the Solomon Plate that
form part of the circum-Paific volcanic arc. The Solomon Plate and Australian plateau
subduct beneath the Solomon Plate. The subduction trench stretches from Vanuatu
right through to eastern most Bouganville Island through to Lihir Group of Island in the
northeast of Papua New Guinea. The geological history and evolution of the Solomon
Islands is ascribed to these three major tectonic events.

First Tectonic Event
The first tectonic event saw the emplacement of submarine oceanic extruded as alkali
olivine basaltic lavas during the faulire of a gearticlinal welt formed by converging and
subducting Pacific and Australian Plates.
A thick sequence of basic volcanic, limestone beds and dolerite of the Mbirao Group
represents this emplaced oceanic crust.

Second Tectonic Event
A second phase of compressive tectonic event presumably metamorphosed the Mbirao
oceanic basic volcanic and carbonate sequences and produced a series of ultrabasic and
meta-gabbroic bodies in the Eocene to Oligocene times. This tectonic event is
represented by ultrabasic emplacements in central and eastern Guadalcanal, San
Cristobal, Santa Isabel and eastern Choiseaul.

Third Tectonic Event
The third tectonic event is described as domnated by block faulting, as a consequence of
extensional faulting due to rifting. This tectonic extensional event occurred during the
late Oligocene to lower Mocene.


First Volcanism associated wih the Third Tectonic Event
The resultant uplift block-faulting led to the the erosion of metabasic rock and triggered
the extrusion of basaltic to andesitic cala-alcalie volcanism. The Suta Volcanics of Central
Guadalcanal and the Umasami Volcanics of West Guadalcanal were extruded as part of
this third tectonic event.

This periode of volcanisme produced the pilo of bassalts, basaltic andesites and
associated pyroclastics and interbeds of limestone beds.

The extrusive volcanism was then followed by the intrusion of high level igneous plutons
of the Poha Diorite Complex in the Oligocene period. Similar volcanic and igneous
activity was noted in Bouganville, Vanuatu and Fiji during the same periode.

Suloihide mineralisatin ws associated with this period of basaltic-andesitic volcanism
and emplacement of plutonic dioritic intussions in the Oligocene to early Miocene
times.

The deposition of various volcanic derived sediments occurred as a result of uplift and
erosion of volcanic and plutonic igneous bodies.

A hiatus period
A hiatus accured during the Mocene. This is represented by depositin of carbonat
platforms in extensie fringing reefs, forming the Mboneghe Limestone. Overlying
unconformably with the Mboneghe Limestone are sequences of tuffs, siltstone,
agglomerates, and tuffaceous arenities.


Second Volcanism during the Third Tectonic Event
In the late Miocene, another volcanic event produced the Galled lavas, basalts,
hornblende andesites and related tuff breccia deposite on West Guadalcanal. These laas
have been K-Ar dated at 6.39 Ma (Hackman,1980).


High level micro diorite to hornblende porphyry intrusion were emplaced during the
Oligocene to Pleistocene. Rock of similar omposition also occur in the New Georgia
Group. On west Guadalcanal, the Oligocene intrusions are overlain by the Lungga Beds.

The topmost Racent calcareous volcanic arenites and terrace forming reefs form the
Honiara Beds of stratigraphic sequence on West Guadalcanal.



7.3. Geological Terrain Model
Recent work by the Geology Department in the Ministry Mines in Soloman Islands in
collaboration with the British overseas Geological Institute and various overseas
University reserchers have further shed light on regional tectonic geology of the
Solomon Island group. Their work has further improved and somewhat refined the
original Geological Province Model Concept of Colemen into what they now refer to
as Geological Terrain Model (Figure 3.1.3.3).

The Geologcal Terrain Model concept was based on;
(a). Lithological, geochemical, isotopic and geochronology differences or simmilarties of
the basaltic basement complex comprising the majr islands.
(b). The development (or lack of) of subsequent arc subduction.

Based on above parameter, the refined model proposes to group the large islands of
Choeseoul, Guadalcanal, Santa Isabel, San Christobal, Malaita, and New Georgia Group
into differingGeological Terrains. (figure 3.1.3.1)

In the Geological Terrain Model Choeseul and Guadalcanal basaltic basement
complexes show simmilarties with mid-ocean ridges basalt or a MORB type terrain
occurring in an intra-oceanic environment. They are considered as forming within a
MORB Type Terrain.


Malaita, Santa Isabel (north of the Kalpito Thrust fault) and Ulwa show affinities of an
aceanic plme type terrain related to Ontong Java Plateau (OTJP). They are considered to
have formed and part of the OJP Terrain.

Makira (or Santa Christoble) show a hybrid terrain showing mixed features of a MORB-
type and a Plume-Type terrain. They are reffered to as a Mixed Terrain.

Arc related subduction episode resulting from the coupling of north westerly moving
Paciific Tectonic Plate with the northesterly moving Australian Continental Tectoniic late
gave rise to alkaline nd calc-alkaline volcanism within the Solomon Block. The volcanism
with its associated plutonic intrusions accreted to the basaltic basements of the MORB-
type terrain in the Eocene to the present.

These episode of arc related subduction were not evident in the Plume-type terrain of
the OJPT basement hence Malaita, north Santa Isabel and Ulawa basaltic basement
were unaffected by this arc related magmatism.

Two episodes of related plate subduction occurred in the Eocene to the present within
the Solomon Block. The Eocene to early Miocene related subduction occurs to the north
of the Solomon Block along the Vitiaz trench system (figure 3.1.3-1).

This earlier plate subduction phase gave rise to alkaline and calc-alcaline volcanism
associated with the Suta and Gold Ridge Volcanics and their associated plutonic
equivalents of the Kuloula, Poha and Lungga Diorites on Guadalcanal and its Micene age
equivated Mole formation on Choeseul as well as the volcanic basement of the
Shortland island group, the Frorida Group and south Santa Isabel.

Choking and cessation of the Vitiaz trench system with its associated volcanism occurred
as a result of the Ontong Java Plateau coupling and abutting onto the Solomon Block in
the Miocene (figure 3.1-3-1).


Volcanic associaned with this second subdactiob tectonic phase gave rise to the alkaline
and calc-alkaline volcanism found within the new Georgia grup, rusell island grup, savo
and west guandalcanal.















Figur 7.3.1 geological terrain model, mines department & other 1998

The two periode of volcanism ascribed to the third phase of volcanism described in the
factured arc concept probabely refers to the two periods of arc develotment associated
with subduction along the vitiaz trench to the north of the Solomon block and
subdaction along the new Britain-san cristobal trench associated with arc reversal as a
consequence of the jamming of the vitiaz trench by the northwest moving thickened
ontong jav plate as described in the geological terrain model.

7.4 Local Geology
Rennel basement geology is mainly comprised a sequence mostly of pillowed and
unpillowed ( original tectonic ) lava, intruded by pods and lanses of cognate gabbro and
diorite.


The Rendbel granudiorit occur as scaltered out-crops in foultes block in the nort-east of
the island. They are serpentinised sometime containing asbestos fibre. The age of the
Rennel granudiorit unknow but presumed to be give a tentative upper Oligocene age.
7.5 Local geological structures
Rennel is a lava block which has been uplifted and then titled to the north the cross
section profile is asymmetric to the north it merges by minor step-faulting and plinges
into deep water over a short distance. The faulthing on the island is intensive and has
produced a mass of fault block which have been uplifted to varying degrees. This is
probably part of the explanation for the sudden changes in the lithologiest of sediments
over short distance. There is not folding.
















Figur 7.5.1 geological provinces in the Solomon island
7.6 Mineralisation
Bauxite laterites have developed over the weather granudiorit, rock inland of rennel and
of rennel bay. The laterite are covered in part by fern and light vegetation and in part by
a characteristic forest vegetation gently rounded hill clear indication of an granudiorit of

an country rock when viewed on aerial phohos are clear indication of an granudiorit
country rock when viewed on aerial photos. The extent of the laterite of the granudiorit
areas which are not fern covered may be estimated from the aerial photos by
considering the gradient of the mountain slopes. Experiences has show that all the
rounded ridges in granudiorit country are capped with laterite on it.
The largest outcrop area of the granudiorit on Rennel island. The outcrop, a mile long by
half a mile wide, consists of parallel adjacent faulted slices of gabbroic and granudiorit
rock and it is presumed that this structure continues beneath the laterite cover. Locally
a bluish shear breccia similar to the blue clay deposit on rennel island may be a
redeposit shear paste .A strip of laterite about 50 feet wide and 500 feet long caps an
granudiorit ridge one mile inland from Paa. The remote bweinaia warkiapu granudiorit
area is about three quarters of a mile square and is covered by jungle laterite strips
developed on the ridge crest to an unknown depth. A forested granudiorit area inland
from rennel is also worth investigation for laterite occurences.

B. Proposed Programme by PT. Golden Solomon
The tenement is prospecting for bauxite laterite which have been throught to be developed over the
weathered granudiorit rock . Inland of Rennel island the laterites are covered in part by tern and light
scrub vegetation, and in part by a characteristic forest vegetation. The programme over Rennel will
involve detailed infill mapping and sampling of all identified targets along with reconnaissance surveys
throughout remainder of the tenement.
Once an area of bauxite mineralization has satisfctority located, extensive hand auger sampling survey
programmes are envisaged the aim of better understanding the underlying styles of bauxite
mineralization of ores.
Geophysic surveys and hand feed drilling programme are expected to be completed over this area
following detail through mapping and sampling.
