GENETIC CLASSIFICATION OF MINERAL DEPOSITS AND MINERAL SUBSTANCES IN THE SOFIA REGION

Mineral Resource Management

During the process of differentiation of the mineral masses, when convection currents move the magmatic and metamorphic rocks as well as the sedimentary cycles, the deposits or mineral deposits were formed gradually. A general genetic classification of mineral deposits is agreed upon by learned geologists to facilitate the investigation and exploration of mineral substances. From the mineralization indices proven and listed in Table N°1 and the lithology of the regions that the work in this scientific article has revealed the possible main mineral deposits in the Sofia Region in Madagascar. The objective is to bring out a genetic classification of the mineral deposits of the Sofia Region. Having a genetic classification of mineral deposits is a great advantage for geological researchers and facilitates research and the discovery of other mineral substances associated with them. In conclusion, seven (07) main types of mineral deposits are inventoried in the Sofia Region, still hiding many undiscovered mineral substances; some examples of the latter are illustrated in Table N°2.
