The Semail Ophiolite Belt in Oman is 600km long and between 100-150km wide. The belt represents an obducted portion of sea floor – a section of the ancient sea floor which has been lifted onto the Continental surface during orogenic movements. The ophiolite represents a large thickness of sea floor – some 8-12km of upper mantle peridotites and 4-7km of oceanic crustal rocks. Although the ophiolite appears to be one sheet there are actually several structural blocks observed. VMS style mineralisation is associated with the upper portions of the Ophiolite – in a 2.0-2.5km package of pillow basalts and manganiferous sea floor sediments. The Semail Ophiolite has been a source of copper since the Bronze Age providing metal for the Mesopotanian civilisations. Between 1970 & 1990 the belt was subjected to intensive multinational regional exploration resulting in the discovery of 44Mt or 1-2% copper, principally in 3 areas: Lasail, Ghuzayn and Aarja. A total of 25 major prospects were identified of which the Omani Government mined 3 - Bayda, Lasail & Aarja. The government built a 1Mtpa copper concentrator, smelter and refinery complex at Lasail. In the early 2000’s a private company, ironically named the National Mining Company (NMC), discovered 3 new deposits and commenced mining in 2006
The Oman & Cyprus Ophiolites were formed during the Tethyan Orogeny which affected much of southern Europe and Persia in the late Cretaceous perios (100-90Mys ago)
