Quartz Vein an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The quartz–gold vein at Pyae Pyat (23°07′N, 96°08′E), close to Kyaukmaw (Fig. ) but on the Kyaukpyu Fault, was mined for about 10 years, but work is now suspended. A single steeply dipping vein up to a meter wide, and striking 325°, was worked to a depth of 80 m. The host rock is chlorite schist, part of the Kyaukmaw Schist.
