7. Geological Potential of the Prospect Area
7.1 Geological Setting

a) Regional Geological Setting

The Solomon Islands and New Guinea are part of a continental island arc system
formed by the collision of the north moving Australia-India 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 Islands is presented in Figure 7.1.1.


18 | P a g e

Figure 7.1.1. Tectonic setting of the Solomon Islands with Makira Island
Initial work to place the Solomon Islands 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 Islands block into 4 geological provinces
known as (a) Central Geological Province; (b) Volcanic Geological Province; (c)
Pacific Geological Province and (d) Atoll Geological Province.

19 | P a g e

Figure 7.2.1 Geological Province Model of P. Coleman (1960)
7.2.1 Fractured Arc Concept
Brian D. Hackman (1980) used the concept of a fractured arc involving rifting and
block- faulting to explain the double en echelon chain nature of the islands in which
Choiseul, Santa Isabel and Malaita occur on the northern chain while Bougainville,
the New Georgia Group, Guadalcanal and San Christobal occur in the southern
chain.
Attempts to incorporate the fractured arc model into a geo-tectonic framework were
taken up by others (Harris of Gualer Resources Limited, 1998) in the late 1990s.
Their work mentions three major tectonic events involving subduction related events
between the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates.
According to this concept, the Solomon Islands is composed of two sub- parallel
northwest-southeast trending volcanic island arcs situated on the Solomon Plate that
form part of the circum-Pacific volcanic arc. The Solomon Plate lies between the
subducting Pacific and Australia-India Plates. Both the Pacific and Australian plates
subduct beneath the Solomon Plate. The subduction trench stretches from Vanuatu

20 | P a g e

right through to eastern most Bougainville Island through to the Lihir Groups of
Islands 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 crust extruded
as alkali olivine basaltic lavas during the failure of a geanticlinal welt formed by
converging and subducting Pacific and Australian Plates.
A thick sequence of basic volcanics, limestone beds and dolerite sills 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 Choiseul.
Third Tectonic Event
The third tectonic event is described as dominated by block faulting, as a
consequence of extensional faulting due to rifting. This tectonic extensional event
occurred during the late Oligocene to lower Miocene.

First Volcanism associated with the Third Tectonic Event

The resultant uplift from block-faulting led to the erosion of the metabasic rocks and
triggered the extrusion of basaltic to andesitic calc-alkaline volcanism. The Suta
Volcanics of Central Guadalcanal and the Umasani Volcanics of West Guadalcanal
were extruded as part of this third tectonic event.

This period of volcanism produced the pile of basalts, basaltic andesites and
associated pyroclastics and interbeds of limestone beds.


21 | P a g e

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 Bougainville, Vanuatu and Fiji during the same period.

Sulphide mineralisation was associated with this period of basaltic-andesitic
volcanism and emplacement of plutonic dioritic intrusions 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 occurred during the Miocene. This is represented by deposition of
carbonate platforms in extensive fringing reefs, forming the Mboneghe Limestone.
Overlying unconformably with the Mboneghe limestone are a sequences of tuffs,
siltstones, agglomerates and tuffaceous arenites.

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

High level micro-diorite to hornblende porphyry intrusions were emplaced during the
Oligocene to Pleistocene. Rocks of similar composition also occur in the New
Georgia Group. On West Guadalcanal, the Oligocene intrusions are overlain by the
Lungga Beds.

The topmost Recent 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 of Mines in Solomon Islands
in collaboration with the British Overseas Geological Institute and various overseas
university researchers have further shed light on the regional tectonics geology of
the Solomon Islands Group. Their work has further improved and somewhat refined
the original Geological Province Model concept of Coleman into what they now
refer to as Geological Terrains Model (Figure 3.1.3-1).
The Geological Terrain Model concept was based on;
(a) Lithological, geochemical, isotopic and geochronology differences or
similarities of the basaltic basement complex comprising the major islands
(b) The development (or lack of) of subsequent arc subduction.
Based on the above parameters, the refined model proposes to group the large
islands of Choiseul, Guadalcanal, Santa Isabel, San Christobal, Malaita and the New
Georgia Group into differing Geological Terrains (figure 3.1.3-1)
In the Geological Terrain Model Choiseul and Guadalcanal basaltic basement
complexes show similarities with mid-ocean ridge basalts 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 Kaipito Thrust fault) and Ulawa show affinities of
an oceanic plume type terrain related to the Ontong Java Plateau (OTJP). They are
considered to have formed and part of the OJP Terrain.
Makira (or San Christobal) show a hybrid terrain showing mixed features of a MORB-
type and a Plume-type terrain. They are referred to as a Mixed Terrain.
Arc related subduction episodes resulting from the coupling of the northwesterly
moving Pacific Tectonic Plate with the northeasterly moving Australian Continental
Tectonic Plate gave rise to alkaline and 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.

23 | P a g e

These episodes of arc related subduction were not evident in the Plume-type terrain
of the OJPT basement hence Malaita, north Santa Isabel and Ulawa basaltic
basements were unaffected by this arc related magmatism.
Two episodes of arc related plate subductions 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-alkaline volcanism
associated with the Suta and Gold Ridge Volcanics and their associated plutonic
equivalents of the Koloula, Poha and Lungga Diorites on Guadalcanal and its
Miocene age equivalent Mole formation on Choiseul as well as the volcanic
basement of the Shortland Islands group, the Florida 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)
The above phenomena initiated a reversal in the direction of subduction. Subduction
was now northwards directed and occurs to the south of the Solomon Block (Figure
3.1.3-1)
Volcanism associated with this second subduction tectonic phase gave rise to the
alkaline and calc-alkaline volcanism found within the New Georgia Group, Russell
Island Group, Savo and West Guadalcanal.

24 | P a g e

Figure 7.3.1 Geological Terrain Model, Mines Department & Others, 1998
The two periods of volcanism ascribed to the third phase of volcanism described in
the fractured arc concept probably refers to the two periods of arc development
associated with subduction along the Vitiaz Trench to the north of the Solomon Block
(early subduction) and subduction along the New Britain-San Cristobal Trench (later
subduction) associated with arc reversal as a consequence of the jamming of the
Vitiaz Trench by the northwest moving thickened Ontong Java Plate as described in
the Geological Terrain Model.
7.4 Local Geology
The rugged southern part of the mainland is founded on a pile of Pre-Miocene
augite-labradorite basalts, the Mbirao Volcanics, which probably exceeds 2,000m in
thickness and dips do not conform to this pattern owning to the intensive faulting.
Pillow lava is commonly developed, with a good deal of interstitial jasper and
recrystalized pelagic biomicrite. Minor dolerite sills intrude the lava pile, particularly in
the Kolovaghamela Valley. The mountains rise to over 800m near the southern
boundary of the sheet.
In an east-west belt to the north of the Mbirao Volcanics, and in subsidiary zone in
the upper part of the Mandonu Valley, the basic rocks have been affected by a low-

25 | P a g e

grade regional metamorphism, well-foliated rocks are developed, such as chlorite-
actinolate Cretaceous age, outcrops on the northern side of the Mbirao Metabasics,
and has also been subjected to low-grade metamporphism.



Geological map Marau
The Tetekanji Limestones form to east-west belts of sheared recrystallised
multicoloured limestone, nowhere exceeding 150m in thickness. The limestone belts
can be mapped within both the Mbirao Volcanics and the Metabasics: faulting has
often occurred preferentially along the line of their outcrop.
The Marau Ultrabasics trend E.S.E. from the Mburumburu River through to Beagle
Island. The predominant rock type is a serpentinized harburgite, with subsidiary
dykes of pyroxenitic type. The ultrabasics are believed to have been emplaced
during the Oligocene and thrust higher into the crust in the late Miocene. Small
pockets of metagabbro appear to be slices of hornblende-albite-amphibolite which
were upthrust with the metabasics. The boundary thrust palnes dip steeply north-
west, parallel to the schistosity in the serpentinite and the adjacent metavolcanics.
Recent alluvium fills the lowest sections of the Kolovaghamela and Mandonu
Valleys, and coral fringes part of the northern coast and the islands of Marau Sound.
The pattern of the Marau archipelago is due to Recent subsidence, the majors
channels between the islands representing former drowned river valleys.

26 | P a g e

7.5 Local geological structures
The faults in the basement rocks trend N.E., W.N.W. and N.N.W. There is evidence
for sinistral transcurrent movement along W.N.W. trending faults, also for dextral
displacement of the ultrabasic outcrop along N.N.W. trending faults.
Pliocene conglomerates and calcareous arenites overly the Guadalcanal Gabbro on
the northern flank of the Marau Ultra-basics. These Longgu Beds are poorly
exposed, but are approximately 200m thick, dipping at 10-20 to the north.












Figure 7.5.1 Geological Provinces in the Solomon Islands
7.6 Mineralisation
Nickeliferous laterites have developed over the weathered serpentinized ultrabasics
rock outcrops of the Marau Sound. The laterites are covered in part by fern and light
scrub vegetation, and in part by a characteristic forest vegetation. Gently rounded hill
crests, distinctive drainage patterns and a fine grained texture of the forest areas are
clear indications of an ultrabasic country rock when viewed on aerial photos. The

27 | P a g e

extent of the laterite areas which are not fern-covered may be estimated from the
aerial photos by considering the gradient of the mountain slopes. Experience has
shown that all the rounded ridges in ultrabasic country are capped with laterite and it
is generally true that the broader the ridge the deeper the laterite on it.
The Marau Sound ultrabasics outcrop as a ribbon up to a mile and eleven miles long.
Physiographically they are comprise a single ridge with some southerly spurs,
extending westwards from Savikau Village. A small laterite-covered ultrabasic
outcrop also occurs on beagle Island. The northerly-flowing Mandonu and the Kau
Kau rivers have cut valleys right through the east-west ultrabasic ridge. East of the
Mandonu river the forest laterite-covered ridge crest is not more than 60 yards wide.
The flanks are too steep for laterite development. Between the Mandonu River and
the Kau Kau River the single ridge divides causing lower relief and there are some
larger laterite patches with the laterite extending a short way down the ridge sides.
To the west of the Kau Kau River forest laterite has developed along the broader
parts of the ridge crest. On two of the southern spurs adjoining the main ridge is a
fern-covered laterite, which thins downhill to bare rocky hillside.

8. Proposed Programme by Solomon Mining
The tenement is prospective for nickeliferous laterites which have been thought to be
developed over the weathered serpentinized ultrabasics rocks. Inland of Marau Bay
the laterites are covered in part by fern and light scrub vegetation, and in part by a
characteristic forest vegetation. The programme over Marau will involve detailed infill
mapping and sampling of all identified targets along with reconnaissance surveys
throughout remainder of the tenement.
Soil and rock chip sampling will be undertaken within the tenement along with pitting
and augering and trenching. Anomalous areas will be further sampled in more detail
along with areas of known mineralisation.
Once an area of nickel mineralisation has been satisfactorily located, extensive hand
auger sampling survey programmes are envisaged with the aim of better
understanding the underlying styles of nickel mineralisation zones such as for
occurrences of limonite and saprolite ores.
Geophysics surveys and hand feed drilling programme are expected to be
completed over this area following detail thorough mapping and sampling.
