Introduction
Area Selection Criteria (ASC) can be defined as series of
criteria based on presence or absence of specific geological
features, or alternatively geophysical and geochemical
features. Due to its function as evaluation tool, ASC also
being defined as measurable descriptive features of several
representatives conceptual model type and or empirical
standard which embody the essential features of some
population of natural geological phenomena (Hodgson,
1990).
Some objectives were attributed to this ASC, and can be
categorized into conceptual objectives and practical

have capability of trapping fluid and pressure necessary for
later emplacement/sedimentation of economic minerals in
small concentrated discharge area in/or near surface which
defined as deposit-scale area.

Some of these potential targets already been drilled and
being confirmed of having VMS-type mineralization. In
addition, a number of new targets also being defined by
Batutua as result of its recent program, respectively; KK
East and KK West, Baru Manu East, and Karkopang.
This paper provide detail synthesis of selected deposit with
regard of observed criteria for VMS association, Meron
prospect was selected as representation of most advance
target since its current resources development status, and
due to availability of exploration datasets (Table 2):
