Abstract:

Bình Thuận is one of provinces in the Central part of Vietnam that has a great potential for Coastal placer ore íorming in the middle Holocene and Pleistocen fluvian depơsits. The Coastal zones in the Hồng Thãng, Hòa Thắng, Bắc Bình, Bình Thuận province show a high potential of heavy minerals. The obtained results from this study indicated that titanium-zircon placer had been distributed in the red sand of the Phan Thiết Formation (mQìpt). The ore thickness is quite stable with the coefficient of variation (Vm=26.1 %) and the total content of heavy minerals is changed with (Vn=69.9 %). Following the perpendicular line with the coast, the content of titanium-zircon reduces gradually from center to two edges. Meanvvhile, along the coast, the ore thickness is changed strongty, but ore minerals are not changed much, reduced gradually from NE to sw in Ihe study area. This is important intormatỉon for orientation of prospecting, mining and Processing for Coastal placer ore in Vĩetnamese coasts generally and Binh Thuận province particularly.
