Timor-Leste Geological map of zone D
The indicated minerals within this zone are gold, copper and manganese (UN-ESCAP 2003; IPG 2015, 2016, 2020).

Not many studies focusing on exploring the metallic and non-metallic mineral resources within this zone was carried out, hence there is a lack of detail data in the area.Relevante Bilder
