1. Geological Condition of
Cambodia and Takeo
2. Iron Ore Exploration Area
3. Method of Exploration
4. Project Planning
3. 1. Geological Condition of Cambodia and
Takeo
Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia
and its approximate geographical
coordinates are 13 00N 105 00E.
Rock Unit:
◦ Cambodia has three types of rock:
1. Sedimentary rock( A whole country)
2. Metamorphic rock(Ratanakiri & B.T)
3. Igneous rock( Mostly in Mondulkiri)

5.
Rock unit in Iron ore deposit area
◦ Ore body deposits on sedimentary rock(
Tapok Tangdong Mountain)
◦ This mountain is deposited and covered
by Devonian-Carboniferous(Black shale
and Sandstone)
◦ The surface area is cover by Old
alluvium and Eluvial sand
6. •Structure( Iron ore deposit in Takeo):
◦ Supposed faults( Northwest to Southeast)
◦ Cart track( Old alluvium and eluvial sand)
7. •Morphology & Tectonism
A small central part of much larger tectonic unit
which includes the Indochina peninsula
It has syncline and anticline that are in Indosinia
fold-belts
It is in the Carboniferous-Triassic.

9. 2.Iron Ore Exploration Area(Takeo)
Location:
-Ream Andaeuk Village, Ream
Andaeuk Commune, Kiri Vong
Distric, Takeo Province
-120km from Phnom Penh
-Study area 3249km2
-Iron ore deposit
10. 3.Method of Exploration Iron
Geological
method
◦ Stream sediment
◦ Outcrop checking
Geophysical
◦ Magnetic
◦ Gravity
method
11. Geological method
◦ Stream sediment: Active sediments in
the channels of streams and rivers can
contain low levels of metals derived
from weathering of mineralized rocks
within the upstream catchment.
◦ Outcrop Checking : to observe mineral
deposit (whether it has iron or not)
12. Geophysical method
Magnetic, airborne and gravity survey
The knowledge of the lithologies and structure for the
property
The understanding of the property’s regional and local
setting
Detection of possible new iron ore targets for ground
follow-up
Estimate of the exploration budget and helps in decision
making for the next exploration phase. It minimizes risks
and costs that may be involved in undertaking further
exploration program.

15. Excavation and Drilling
Excavation: for excavate the hidden
deposit(shallow depth).
Drilling: for find the hidden deposit
(moderate to greater depth).
