Abstract

The soil geochemical exploration was carried out targeting around Tri Le area far from about 30 km with northwestern direction from Que Phong within Nghe An province. The interval of sampling are horizontal 200 m interval with 23 line and longitudinal 300 m with 10 line, resulting in 228 soil samples. Based on the result of the soil geochemical exploration, the detailed pitting survey was carried out targeting the grid point with high TREO content, resulting in 75 soil samples within 7 pits. The geology of survey area are consisted of Ban Chieng biotite granite complex and granitic gneiss intruding Ban Khang formation comprising of quartz schist and marble. Main mineralization in the study area have the characteristics of occurrence with tin, ruby and REE-bearing monazite and xenotime to be thought as occurring at the alteration zone of granite complex. In order to elucidate the source rock of monazite and xenotime confirmed from heavy sand, soil geochemical exploration was carried out. As a analysis result with ICP-MS on the soil samples from the soil geochemical exploration, total REE oxide content of background amount to about 2 times of crustal abundance, enriching the heavy rare earth(about 2 times) and light rare earth(about 1.5 times). As a analysis result with ICP-MS on the soil samples from the soil detailed pit survey, we only identified outcrop considering as economic weathered granite body at the grid point 1-10 pit among 7 pits. As a synthetic consideration on the soil geochemical exploration and detailed pit survey, we tentatively designated Tri Le area as no promising target for REE. In 2014, we have the plan to carry out the soil geochemical exploration targeting the extended economic REE ore body in Quy Chau as project area from 2011 to 2012.

베트남 북부 네안(Nghe An)성 뀌 펑(Que Phong)에서 북서쪽으로 약 30 km 떨어진 칠 레(Tri Le) 일대를 대상으로 토양지구화학탐사를 수행하였다. 200 m 23 line, 300 m 10 line 228개 토양지구화학탐사 결과를 바탕으로 총희토류(TREO) 함량이 높은 격자점을 대상으로 정밀 피트탐사를 수행하여 총 7개 피트에서 토양 75개를 채취하였다. 조사지역의 지질은 반 찌응(Ban Chieng) 흑운모 화강암 복합체와 화강암질 편마암이 석영 편암과 대리암으로 구성된 반캉(Ban Kang)층을 관입하고 있다. 본 역의 주요 광화작용은 주석, 루비, 그리고 화강암 복합체의 주변부 변질대에 분포하고 있는 것으로 사료되는 함희토류 모나자이트와 제노타임의 산출이 특징적이다. 토양지구화학탐사에서 채취한 토양시료에 대하여 희토류원소의 화학성분을 ICP-MS를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 배경토양의 총희토류 함량이 지각 평균의 약 2배를 초과하고 있으며, 중희토류(약 2배)와 경희토류(약 1.5배)가 모두 부화되어 있다. 정밀 피트탐사에서 채취한 토양시료에 대하여 희토류원소의 화학성분을 ICP-MS를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 7개 피트중 단지 격자점 1-10번 피트에서만 희토류 광체로 추정되는 풍화받은 화강암 노두를 인지하였다. 토양지구화학탐사 및 정밀 피트탐사를 종합적으로 고찰한 결과, 칠레(Tri Le) 지역은 희토류에 대해서 유망하지 않은 지역으로 잠정적으로 고려되었다. 2014년에는 2011-2012년 조사지역으로 선정된 뀌 차우(Quy Chau)의 희토류 광화대 연장광체 발견을 목표로 토양지구화학 탐사를 수행할 계획이다.
