Abstract
The titanium mineral potential of Sri Lanka is investigated via a study of 91

samples of beach and river sand deposits that circumvent the island. The sam-
ples are investigated for their heavy mineral assemblage and mineral geochem-
istry using Computer Controlled Scanning Electron Microscopy (CCSEM). On
the basis of mineralogy, the samples are divided into six groups of coastal
sands and two groups of river sands. Some ilmenite-leucoxene samples from
the northwestern, northeastern, and southwestern coasts have a TiO2 content
of 58-62 wt%. On these coast lines, and potentially off shore, significant quanti-
ties of heavy minerals may be present. At those same coastal locations, the
heavy mineral suite is principally composed of ilmenite, leucoxene, rutile, zircon
and sillimanite/kyanite. Garnet is also present in significant amounts and gener-
ally has a high pyrope, low grossular, composition. High TiO2 ilmenite is appar-
ently correlative with a garnet/alumnosilicate ratio and this ratio could possibly
be a guide in the exploration for higher TiO2 grade ilmenite deposits. The origin
of the heavy mineral sand at these locations is likely the granulite facies per-
aluminous metamorphic rocks in the adjacent or internal hinterland. The leach-
ing of iron to yield high TiO2 grade ilmenite occurs primarily in the wash over
plains of the region’s rivers. The leaching is apparently more effective for ilmen-
ite derived from the high grade metamorphic sources. Thus the occurrence of a
higher grade TiO2 ilmenite containing deposit is a function of the primary source
rock, the climate, the transport residence time, and the concentrating action of
the beach environment. The mineralogy and mineral chemistry of beach sam-
ples collected near the mouths of rivers show the influence of the local river sys-
tem on the nature of the beach deposit.

Objective
The primary objective is to investigate the ilmenite sand potential along the
coasts of Sri Lanka for the exploitation of titanium. The geology of the host rock
and the alteration processes during erosion and transport are also examined to
gain understanding of the mechanisms that control the resultant TiO2 grade of
ilmenite. Mineralogical and geochemical studies are conducted on the heavy
mineral suite to address issues of provenance and identify valuable minerals.

1 Summary
Areas with a high volume of ilmenite+leucoxene in beach sand placers are re-
ported (by Cooray, 1967) north of Puttalam (northwestern coast), just south of
Colombo (western coast), and north and south of Pulmoddai (northeastern
coast). Part of the latter stretch of beach is already being mined by the Sri
Lankan Ministry of Economic Development.
High (58 to 61.8 wt%) TiO2 concentration ilmenite+leucoxene grains in beach

sands are found along the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka, in the vicinity of Co-
lombo and locally in the lagoon at the northwestern coast. The sand heavy min-
eral suite includes ilmenite, leucoxene, rutile, zircon, garnet and staurolite.
The mineralogy of the beach sands reflect the geology of the hinterland. Most
river samples have ilmenite grades that are close to the stoichiometric value for
ilmenite (52 wt% TiO2). River samples collected at the foot of the mountains,
however, have higher TiO2 concentrations than ilmenite from potential sources,
thus the ilmenite minerals in the samples are either enriched in Ti in-situ or this
occurs in the wash over plains of the river by percolating acid ground water. It is
likely that alteration is the most significant in the areas with the highest precipi-
tation. Alteration may also continue at the beach.
Based on mineralogy, the heavy mineral suites from Sri Lanka are divided into
six groups of coastal sediments and two groups of river sediments. High grade
TiO2 ilmenite occurs associated with alumnosilicates, zircon, staurolite, rutile
and garnet, which indicates a high-grade, meta-peraluminous, source rock.
Within those areas, samples originating from the highest metamorphic grade
rocks are most TiO2 enriched. Ilmenite with elevated TiO2 grades occur at the
north-west, south-west and northeastern coasts of Sri Lanka. In the heavy min-
eral suites, a high alumnosilicate to garnet ratio is positively correlated with high
TiO2 concentration.
In contrast to previous work on samples from India (Bernstein, 2004), the abso-
lute amount of garnet does not show any relation to the grade of the ilmenite. If
any correlation exists, it is possibly a weak inverse relationship. However, as for
the samples from India (Bernstein, 2008), the XMg (pyrope content) correlates
directly with the TiO2 grade, whereas the XCa (grossular content) of garnets is
inversely proportional to TiO2 concentration of ilmenites. High pyrope-low gros-
sular garnets are typical for granulite facies rocks.
Further investigations of the volumetrics of the beach areas in the lagoon on the
NW-coast, off-shore south of Colombo and north and south of the exploited de-
posit near Pulmoddai are suggested.

2 Introduction
2.1 Mineral sands

The heavy mineral potential of Sri Lanka was recognized at the beginning of the
previous century. Later, Cooray (1967) writes in his book on the Sri Lankan ge-
ology: “The most important deposit of ilmenite is at Pulmoddai on the north-east
coast, 34 miles from Trincomalee. The heavy minerals are scoured out from
Koddilai lagoon during heavy rains and subsequently concentrated on the
beach by wave action. Until recently, the amount of black sand present at Pul-
moddai was estimated at four million tons, but the total reserves are now known
to be several times this amount.” Cooray mentions a high TiO2 grade of the il-
menite for this deposit, but he does not give an absolute value for this. The site
is explored by the Sri Lankan Ministry of Economic Development and has a
yearly capacity of 180 000 metric tonnes (in 2007; USGS Minerals Yearbook).
Cooray mentions other, smaller ilmenite deposits near Galle Face, Colombo;
Tirukkovil (40 km S. of Batticaloa, central eastern coast); Chilaw (central west-
ern coast), Negombo (20 km N of Colombo); the mouths of Kelani Ganga, Kalu
Ganga; Beruwela (SW coast); Kaikawela; Kaluwella near Galle, SW coast;
Weligama, SW coast; and Dondra, southern coast. For those localities however,
the TiO2 grade of the ilmenite was not given.
2.2 Previous work: offshore Sri Lanka

In 1986-87 the National Aquatic Resource Agency (NARA), Oceanographic Di-
vision, together with the United Nations Revolving Fund for Natural Resources
Exploration, conducted geological studies of offshore Sri Lanka. The studies
focused on two areas, the Beruwala about 50 km south of Colombo, and the
Devinuwara area near the southern tip of Sri Lanka (Fig 1).
Heavy mineral production in Sri Lanka is primarily from the Pulmoddai deposit
on the NE coast. The NARA study of the SW coast was focused on monazite, a
minor component at Pulmoddai.
12 GEUS
Figure 1: Sri Lanka showing the two offshore study areas (white outlines), Beruwala and Kai-
kawala to the north and Devinuwara to the south.
Area 1, the Beruwala, contains heavy minerals in modern beaches particularly

where barrier bars are offshore of rivers, in isolated bays, and in some raised
beaches. The highest concentration of monazite and heavy minerals occurs at
the southern ends of beaches where the predominant southwesterly monsoons
exert the greatest effect. Two beach concentration zones, the Beruwala and the
Kaikawala are about 1km long and 10m wide. In 1918-1922, 450 tons of mona-
zite were collected from the Kaikawala deposit. The deposit was again mined in
1957-58 but may now be depleted if no replenishment has occurred. The Beru-
wala deposit was mined from1957 to1971 recovering 500 tons of monazite. The
localized occurrence of monazite suggests a source in the near hinterland.
Both deposits are subject to seasonal variations and maximum concentration

occurs during the southwest monsoon season, May-July. Owing to this, the
NARA offshore survey took place in August of 1986. The NARA initial survey
collected about 50 offshore samples sub parallel to the shore line. The survey
results are published. (Dr. W. Shanti, Marine Geology, 1986, v. 72, p1-9). The
main findings of that study are summarized below:
1. heavy minerals in the offshore sediments average 4 to 13%;
2. the sediments are mostly fine sand and coarse silt;
3. the monazite component, about 1.4%, is finer-grained than the onshore
monazite, suggesting local source for the onshore and probable
reworking in the offshore.
A second survey was done consisting of 34 profiles sub parallel to the shore at
300m intervals. The survey included bathymetric work and sample collection.
Six hundred samples were collected. The major findings are:
1. the major part of the area, south of the Kalu Ganga is a wide reef of
sandstone with minor coral patch reefs;
GEUS 13
2. the heavy mineral content averages 8.5% and the heavy mineral
fraction composition is:
ilmenite: 66.96%
monazite: 15.44
zircon 7.70
Rutile 5.17
Other 4.73 (Gnt + Sill + Spinel +Pyx + Opq);
3. the estimated area of mineralization is a surface of 15sq km at a
minimum HM sand thickness of 0.5m yielding an estimated
7.5 million cubic m of reserves, or approximately
1.4 MM tons ilmenite
0.3 MM tons monazite
0.1 MM tons rutile
0.2 MM tons zircon.
The second area, Devinuwara was not studied in as much detail owing to se-
vere sea conditions and the narrowness of the offshore shelf. Onshore studies
of a heavy mineral deposit in a small lagoon determined a HM concentrate of
composition:
Ilmenite 62%
zircon 13
rutile 11
monazite 10
quartz 2
Garnet 2
The NARA offshore survey collected samples at a depth of 50 to 60m approx-

imately S-SW from Dondra Head and 3 nm from the river mouth. The average
composition of the two collected samples is:
heavy minerals 18.4%
ilmenite 45.2
rutile 11.8
magnetite 10.9
monazite 0.7
garnet 9.4
zircon 7.6
other 14.4
The NARA studies indicate the potential for offshore HM deposits along the Sri
Lanka coast. Other sediment traps or palaeoriver channels could occur on the
shelf within and outside the boundaries of the NARA studies. A scientific de-
scription of the NARA study is given by Wickremeratne (1986).
2.3 General geography of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a pear-shaped island South-West of India (Fig. 2). It is approxi-
mately 430 km long and 225 km wide (270 and 140 miles). Sri Lanka is posi-
tioned between the 5th and 10th degree latitude north of the Equator. It is
14 GEUS
boarded by the Bay of Bengals to the North and West, the Gulf of Manner to the
East, and the Indian Ocean to the South.
About two thirds of the island, notably the North and East regions, is a relatively
flat plain with an altitude below 150m. Within those areas are inselbergs with
altitudes up to 300m. A steep escarpment, characterized by water falls, leads to
a second and higher plain with altitude between 150 and 500m. This second
plain is found in the southern, central and eastern part of the island. Yet another
escarpment leads to the highest area, where altitudes range from 300-1000 m
with the highest peak at 2534m. In contrast to the two lower plains, younger,
steeper landscape forms are found. Waterfalls and incised meandering streams
are common features (Gunaratne, 1967).
Weather in Sri Lanka is dominated by two yearly monsoons (Fig. 2). A strong
W-E oriented monsoon strikes especially in the SW of the island in winter and
early spring, whereas a much weaker E-W monsoon causes rainfall in the NE of
the island in summer. The country is divided into a "wet zone", the South-West
and Central Highlands of the island with ca. 2500 mm of yearly rain fall, and a
"dry zone", essentially the rest of the island with an average of 1200-1900 mm
of rain annually. Nearly all precipitation in the dry zone falls between October
and January, requiring water saving measures during the rest of the year. The
South-East and North-West regions of the island are extremely arid for most of
the year, with 600-1200 mm rain yearly, but concentrated in a few months in the
winter. (Compare: Washington DC: 1000 mm/yr, Copenhagen 700 mm/yr,
spread over 12 months.)

Sri Lanka has many rivers, but most of them are not perennial and all of them
are non-navigable except by very small boats. Rivers are called Ganga for lar-
ger rivers or Oya (Tamil: Aru) for seasonal rivers. The five largest rivers are:
Mahaveli Ganga, translating as “sandy river” (over 300 km long), Malwathu Oya
or Aruvi Aru (164 km), Kelani Ganga, Kalu Ganga (“black river”; 129 km) and
Walawe Ganga (see Fig. 2 for localities).

2.4 Separation of India and Sri Lanka
India and Sri Lanka are separated by an incomplete land bridge, currently in the
form of two islands: Rameswaram and Mannar between Tonitoray Spit (India)
and Mannar (Sri Lanka). Based on studies of fauna in India and on Sri Lanka, a
first separation between the two land masses occurred in the Miocene, followed
by oscillations of sea level. The last sea-level rise started ca. 25.000 year ago
(Gunaratne, 1967).

3 Introduction to the geology of Sri Lanka
Section 3 on the geology of Sri Lanka is written by Prof. A. Gunatilaka
3.1 Overview
More than 90% of the island of Sri Lanka is made up of amphibolite to granulite
grade metamorphic rocks which are traditionally divided into three major
lithological units on the basis of rock types and metamorphic grades (Cooray,
1978). However recently Cooray (1994) revised the subdivisions of Precambrian
Sri Lanka based on the geochronological, petrological and geochemical work
done in the late ‘80s by the German-Sri Lanka consortium (Hofmann, 1991). The
recent classification has divided the basement complex of Sri Lanka into three
main and one subordinate divisions (Fig. 3) named as Highland Complex (HC)
(includes both former Highland Group and Southwest Group); Vijayan Com-
plex (VC) (Includes former Eastern Vijayan Complex); Wanni Complex (WC)
(includes former Western Vijayan Complex) and Kadugannawa Complex (KC).
The linear arcuate folded belt of the HC is bounded by the VC in the east and
the WC in the west. The HC and VC are differentiated by rock composition,
metamorphic grade, age and, geochemical and isotopical characteristics (Coo-
ray, 1994). The boundary between the HC and the VC is a significant but also
controversial geological feature in Sri Lanka. It is considered to be a mineralized
belt (Dissanayake, 1985), convergent plate boundary (Munasinghe and Dis-
sanayake, 1980; Dissanayake and Munasinghe, 1984) and thrust contact (Vi-
tanage, 1985; Kröner et al., 1991; Kleinschrodt, 1994). Associated with the entire
length of the 400km of HC-VC boundary are (a) a line of hot springs with a
maximum temperature of 55 °C (Dissanayake and Jayasena, 1988), (b) serpen-
tinite bodies (Dissanayake, 1985), (c) massive Cu-Fe rich sulphides (Jayawar-
dena, 1982), (d) native sulphur occurrences (Wickramaratne, 1985), (e) diamond
occurrences (Dissanayake and Rupasinghe, 1986) and (f) groundwater fluoride
anomalies (Dissanayake and Weerasooriya, 1986). Further Hatherton et al.
(1975) and Büchel (1994) observed gravity anomalies along the HC-VC bound-
ary zone.

3.2 The general geology of Sri Lanka

The Highland Complex of Sri Lanka consists of a high-grade sequence of meta-
sedimentary and concordant meta-igneous rocks. The meta-sedimentary rocks
are mainly quartzites, marbles, calc-silicates, garnet-silimanite-graphite gneisses
and garnet granulites. Kröner et al. (1991) inferred that more than 50 % of the
HC is rock of granitoid origin which is now banded gneiss. The source materi-
als of the HC rocks were mainly derived from late- Archaean continental ter-
rain, deposited at 3.2-2.0 Ga (Milisenda et al., 1988; Hölzl et al., 1994). Sedimen-
tation was followed by the intrusion of igneous rocks and granitoids around
1850-1990 Ma (Kröner and Williams, 1993; Hölzl et al., 1994). The high-grade
metamorphism occurred during the Pan-African orogeny at ca. 550 Ma (Kröner,
1991) and the event yielded maximum peak metamorphic conditions of 900° C
and 9 Kbars. That event was followed by slow cooling and uplift of the HC into
higher crustal levels (Schumacher et al., 1990; Kröner et al., 1991; Faulhaber and
Raith, 1991; Hölzl et al., 1994).
The VC, lying to the east of the central HC (Fig. 3), consists of biotite-
hornblende gneisses and scattered bands of metasediments and charnockitic
gneisses. Among the other prominent geological features of the VC are the oc-
currence of small plutons of granites and acid charnockites near the east coast
(Jayawardena and Carswell, 1976) and the NW trending suite of dolerite dikes
in the VC. Milisenda et al. (1988) and Milisenda, et al., (1991) have described the
GEUS 19
gneissose granitoids of the VC as having compositions ranging from tonalite to
leucogranite. The VC is mostly amphibolite facies grade and the fact that it has
not been subjected to granulite facies metamorphism is interpreted by Kröner et
al. (1991) to infer that the charnockitic bodies occurring within the Vijayan do-
main are klippen and/or unfolded or intersliced fragments of the HC. These are
similar to the Kataragama klippe of which the derivation from the HC complex
has been established (Cooray, 1978, Vitanage, 1985).
The Wanni Complex (WC) is a suite of granitoid gneisses, charnockitic gneisses
and granites, along with a variety of amphibolite to granulite facies rocks such
as metasediments of predominantly pelitic to semipelitic composition (Milis-
enda et. al, 1991). Studies of detrital zircons from metapelites have shown that
the WC is younger than the HC, even though the boundary between these two
lithotectonic units is still poorly defined.

4 Sampling and processing of beach and river sand
Sri Lanka has a coast line of 1340 km. Ca. 300 samples (see black and yellow
dots in the geochemical database) were collected along the coast and from ma-
jor rivers by Prof. A. Gunatilaka and Mr. DaSilva, Colombo, Sri Lanka. The
samples were sent to Denmark and sieved to retrieve the grain size fraction
between 45 and 710 micrometer. The heavy mineral fraction of the sample was
separated out of the sediment with the use of CHBr3 (density: 2.8 g/cm3). Ca.
0.9 gram of the heavy mineral separate was put into an epoxy resin and pol-
ished for use in the SEM.
Ninety-one samples (see Figure 4) were analysed at GEUS with Computer-

controlled Scanning Electron Microscopy (CCSEM; see Bernstein et al., 2008,
Keulen et al., 2008 for details on the method) for the following 18 elements: Na,
Mg, Al, Si, P, S, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Y, Zr, Nb, and Ce.
Twenty one minerals or mineral groups are identified using the GEUS in-house
mineral classification scheme (Keulen & McLimans, 2009). Ilmenite, leucoxene,
rutile, Ti-magnetite, magnetite, chromite, spinel, garnet, sillimanite-kyanite,
staurolite, mica, mafic silicates, feldspar, quartz, other silicates, corundum, py-
rite, monazite, xenotime, phosphates, carbonates, and other minerals (unclassi-
fied). (The investigated samples have 7 digit sample numbers 2000xxx or
200xxxx. In Figures after Figure 4 only the last four or three digits are shown).

5 Results of the heavy mineral sand investigations with a
focus on ilmenite and leucoxene
5.1 Heavy mineral suites

HM sands with local grades up to 93% of the raw sand occur in Sri Lanka. The
major economic mineral is ilmenite. This study focuses on titanium potential
along the SL coastline and to lesser extent, inland. Unfortunately no report on
the sampling method was provided. It might be possible that the sampler con-
centrated on the layers that are richer in heavy minerals instead of taking a rep-
resentative sample. If so, this might slightly flaw the modal mineral composition
results, since the dark layers are richer in heavier heavy minerals than the av-
erage sand is. The results showing the amount of heavy minerals in the sam-
ples should thus be taken as maximum values rather than representative values
for the Sri Lankan beach and rivers. Due to this uncertainty any conclusions on
the heavy mineral concentrations are tentative.
The detailed heavy mineral suite determined for each sample is given in Ap-
pendix A. The Sri Lanka coastline samples are divided into six groups, NW, W,
SW, SE, E, and NE as shown on the map in Figure 5. Inland samples are di-
vided into two groups, those originating within the WC and those from the HC &
VC, also shown in Figure 5. The average composition of the heavy mineral suite
for each group is shown in Figure 5.
Both the northeastern and the northwestern coast show a high amount of ilme-
nite grains in the heavy mineral suite (Figure 5). Inland samples are generally
less mature than beach samples in that they show a higher amount of mafic
minerals. Samples from the southwestern coast are rich in sillimanite/kyanite,
showing a metasediment or a meta-tonalitic hinterland, whereas the southeas-
tern coast samples are very rich in garnets (see Appendix A and Figure 6).
Figure 7 and 8 show the amount of ilmenite and of valuable heavy minerals
(here: ilmenite, leucoxene, rutile, staurolite, garnet, sillimanite/kyanite and zir-
con) in the analysed samples, respectively. These frequency measurements are
not representative for the whole sampling area, since most sedimentary units
are strongly heterogeneous with layers and streaks of heavy mineral-rich sand
of various thicknesses and abundances. The measured frequencies for Ti-
minerals vary between <0.1 and 78.5%, whereas the valuable minerals reach
concentrations of <0.1-92.7% in the analysed beach sand samples. High values
for ilmenite are obtained on the western and northeastern coast, high values for
the total amount of valuable heavy minerals occur mainly on the western and
northeastern coast, but also on the southeastern coast (where sands are very
rich in garnet). See also Table 1 for an overview.

5.2 TiO2 concentration of ilmenite and leucoxene in beach and river
sand
The definition of the four different titanium minerals is shown in Figure 9a. Min-
erals are classified by chemistry (TiO2-concentration only). Figure 9b shows the
concentration of ilmenite and leucoxene and the variation in TiO2 concentration
along the coast. Along the eastern, southeastern and locally along the north-
western coast the amount of Ti-magnetite is high (see also Appendix A).

Figure 9a: Example of a TiO2 grade in Ti-minerals plot as an example for the plots in Figure 9b. Ex-
ample of an output from CCSEM analysis showing the distribution of TiO2 in Ti-minerals. The Ti
minerals are defined by selected TiO2 composition.
Along the western, northeastern and southwestern coast, the ilmenite + leucox-
ene TiO2-concentration is mostly intermediate (53-58 wt%) and along the SW
and NE coast the ilmenite+leucoxene TiO2-concentration is enhanced by the
alteration of ilmenite to leucoxene.
The concentrations of the Ti-minerals are displayed as a multi-modal distribu-

tion in a TiO2-concentration histogram (Fig. 9b). Most samples show a peak for
rutile and all samples have either one or two peaks for ilmenite. Ti-magnetite
and leucoxene either occur as a separate peak, or as the tail of the ilmenite
peak. Samples from rivers generally show a narrow peak with a maximum
around ca. 53 wt% ilmenite that is skewed toward Ti-magnetite. Some of the
river samples show a higher maximum for the peak than the coastal area they
drain into. This is especially the case along the southern coast.

Along the western coast, many samples show one peak at a higher TiO2 con-
centration, or a skewing towards leucoxene (Fig. 9b). Rivers locally influence
the grade of the ilmenite along the coast at their outlet. Generally the ilmenite
along the western coast displays a high TiO2 concentration. The TiO2-
concentration the maximum of these peaks shifts along the coast and lays at
ca. 53-62 wt%. Some samples show a second peak of a lower frequency.
Samples originating from the NE coast and from the SW part of the island dis-
play a broad range of TiO2 wt% concentrations, varying between ca. 45 and 72
wt%, without a clear peak. Further south along the eastern coast, the TiO2-
concentration shows a more narrow distribution at a range of values. The irre-
gularity of the peaks in this area is most probably related to lower amount of
ilmenite in this area.
Areas with abundant > 58 wt% TiO2 in ilmenite, and leucoxene occur along the
NE-coast of the island, in the lagoon at the NW coast of the island and along
the SW-coast (see Figure 9, 10 and 11; Table 1). The latter area however,
shows locally very low amounts of ilmenite grains in the heavy mineral suite
(compare to Figure 8). A predominantly low TiO2 concentration in ilmenite (TiO2
<53 wt%) is observed in the river sediments, along the southeastern coast and
near the land-bridge to India along the NW coast.
Figure 11 shows the same data as Figure 10, but now as a diagram, instead of
on the map. The outlets of the major rivers are shown, and significant changes
in the TiO2 concentration of ilmenite and leucoxene (and in modal mineral com-
position, Fig. 5) can be linked to these outlets.
It is worth noting that Ti-magnetite occurs around the island in beach sediment
samples and in river samples, especially on the western, southeastern and nor-
theastern coast, and in the river sediment samples (Appendix A).

Figure 12 and 13 display the concentration of two minor elements in ilmenite:
MgO and MnO. A weak correlation between the MgO concentration and the
TiO2 grade is observed. Most high grade ilmenite grains have an MgO larger
than 0.8 wt%, with some exceptions, especially from samples originating from
the eastern coast. MnO shows three different trends. Low TiO2 grade samples
display a whole range of MnO concentrations, high grade TiO2 samples display
two trends, one of low MnO concentrations (ca. 0.5 wt%) for samples from the
southwestern coast and a second one (ca. 1.0 wt%) for samples from north-
eastern and northwestern part of the island. With some exceptions for individual
samples, the general trend indicates a high MgO/MnO ratio for ilmenite and leu-
coxene grains that have an elevated TiO2 concentration.

The ilmenite source rock and its origin may determine the primary titanium and
minor and trace element content of ilmenite and thereby also determine ilmenite
iron leachability (Ti-grade) and the composition of the associated heavy mineral
suite in a subsequent sedimentation environment. Therefore, it might be possi-
ble to associate the grade of ilmenite to the presence of certain minerals or to
ratios between minerals. Higher grade ilmenite shows a weak correlation with
the presence of staurolite, high amounts of ilmenite, zircon, rutile, alumnosili-
cate and spinel. A low number of mafic silicates and of feldspars, i.e., a more
mature sediment, seem to be associated with higher grade samples. The
strongest correlation for mineral pair ratios is obtained for the garnet-
alumnosilicate ratio. Figures 14 and 15 show this index value GtAsi. This value
is calculated as {Garnet / (Garnet + Alumnosilicates) x 100%} (after Morton,
1985). Samples for which the amount of garnets is low compared to the amount
of alumnosilicates show enrichment in TiO2 in Ti-minerals (i.e. in ilmenite; see
Fig. 14).

5.3 Garnets
Garnets can be used to track the source rock of sediments (see e.g. Bernstein
et al., 2008). Figure 16 shows the average values for the garnet composition for
each sample containing more than 20 garnets. Samples from the NE coast are
very poor in garnet, none of these contained over 20 grains. The samples are
plotted by their end-member compositions: XMg (pyrope), XCa (grossular) and
XFeMn (almandine and spessartine). The large majority of the garnet grains con-
tains less than 5% spessartine (XMn in Fig. 17). The only exception to this is the
northeastern coast, where most of the few garnets contain 5-10% spessartine.
The average values for the different areas are very closely grouped and Figure
16 shows that the average values are often composed of several populations.
Thus, the average garnet composition of an entire sample is a bad parameter to
use for correlation of these samples.
Figure 17 shows a comparison between the distribution of TiO2 in ilmenite, leu-

coxene and the composition of garnets. Even though average garnet com-
postions should be avoided, a weak inverse correlation of the TiO2 grade with
XCa in garnet and a very weak positive correlation with the XMg in garnet is ob-
served.

Figure 18 shows that most beach sediment samples consist of two or three dif-
ferent garnet populations. In Sri Lanka as a whole, three groups of garnets can
be distinguished. 1) High pyrope-low grossular garnets; these garnets are
mainly found along the western, southwestern and northeastern coast. These
are the areas that dewater the HC. 2) Very almandine-rich garnets; these are
less abundant and mainly occur on west coast and locally on the east coast. 3)
Grossular-rich garnets (> ca. 15-20 % XCa); these garnets occur mainly at the
northern and eastern part of the island. The first group mainly occurs in meta-
sedimentary and metapelitic rocks, a higher XMg correlates with higher meta-
morphic temperatures (granulite facies to amphibolite facies). The second group
occurs mainly in amphibolite facies felsic rock types, whereas the third group is
typical for garnet-amphibolite rocks.

dine+spessartine, and grossular end-members in the three corners of the diagrams, expressed
as XMg, XFe+XMn, and XCa respectively (see Figure 16). The garnets are showing a large
variation in number of grains and in composition of the grains along the coast of the island. For
many localities two or three populations of garnets can be distinguished. The TiO2 concentra-
tion in ilmenite+leucoxene is shown by colour-coding the sample localities in shades of grey.

6.1 Heavy mineral suites

It is difficult to identify the provenance of the sediment based on its heavy min-
eral suite, due to weathering and alteration of minerals and their relative abun-
dances. Ocean currents, monsoons and sediment mixing further obscure the
provenance of the heavy mineral suite. Weathering, alteration, hydraulic sepa-
ration due to differences in grain size and shape strongly influence the nature of
the heavy mineral suite (see e.g. Morton and Hallsworth, 1999, for a general
discussion). However, minor and trace element compositions of individual min-
erals (like garnet or ilmenite) can be used as a provenance tool as well. Ilmenite
composition is discussed in section 6.2, and garnet in section 6.3.
The heavy minerals from the Sri Lankan coast can be divided into six groups
with each a distinctive mineralogy. Samples from the northwestern, northeast-
ern and part of the western coast show a very similar pattern (see Fig. 5, Fig 6
and Appendix A and B). In these samples the heavy mineral suite is dominated
by ilmenite, garnet, sillimanite/kyanite, rutile, and zircon. Some of these sam-
ples show very minor staurolite or corundum. This mineral assemblage sug-
gests that the source rock of these beach sands was a high-metamorphic grade
(peraluminous) felsic rock, most likely a metasedimentary rock. These samples
occur all on beaches that are fed by rivers that originate from the same area in
the HC (near Kandy), where granulite-facies metasedimentary rock occur, and
flow a long way through a rather arid area. In addition to these large rivers,
some local smaller rivers provide additional sediment. Other samples from the
western coast show more mafic silicates and more magnetite, these sediments
are immature. The samples from the eastern coast are rich in mafic minerals,
garnet and alumnosilicates, these samples are also immature and might have
been more locally derived, e.g. from the amphibolite-facies gneisses and bands
of metasedimentary rocks of the VC. There seems to be a rough anti-correlation
between the amount of mafic minerals and the TiO2 concentration in ilmenite +
leucoxene (Appendix B). Samples from the southeastern coast have a distinct
high garnet profile. These garnets are mainly high pyrope-low grossular gar-
nets, indicative of a granulite facies source.
The river samples can be matched roughly with the coastal area they drain into.
Rivers show the same garnet composition distribution, the same alumnosilicate
to garnet ratios, and the same minerals as the adjacent coastal areas. Still riv-
ers cannot be matched to the adjacent coast on a one to one basis. The ratio
between some of the minerals is disturbed, e.g. the mafic silicates. Other min-
erals do not occur in sufficient amounts to make statistically reliable measure-
ments, e.g. zircons, which are poorly present along the western, south eastern,
and eastern coast and in some of the river samples.

Schott & McCreary (2001) measured oceanographic movements and describe a
counter-clockwise current related to both monsoons around Sri Lanka. Such
currents have redistributed the garnets from their source area, which can be
observed in the garnet composition on the beaches (Fig. 18). Rivers taking
sediment as in sample 2001011 bring large amounts of garnet towards the
coast (river mouth at 2000848), those are transported westward. Along the
southwestern coast only pyrope-rich grossular garnet is observed, fed by river
samples like 2000996, until further north along the western coast samples like
2000993 add the second variety and those are distributed northward from
beach sample 2000796 onwards by this counter-clockwise current. Samples
along the northwestern and northeastern coast are fed by host-rocks with a
garnet composition similar to 2000987 and 2000990, although samples near
Pulmoddai and Trincomalee are distributed north-westward from the Mahaveli
Ganga by the summer monsoon.
The northern part of Sri Lanka is very flat (see Chapter 2.2). Sand at the north-
west and northeast coast of the island originates from the area near the city of
Kandy, where considerable relief occurs, and from some local smaller rivers.
Eosion is minimal on the flat plains. The two coastal areas are fed by the long-
est rivers of the island that cut through the driest part of the country. The north-
ern part of the island does not have a humid tropic climate, but resembles a sa-
vannah. The rivers are only seasonally active. However, the yearly east-west
monsoon causes flooding of the rivers and large volumes of sediment are swept
out over the plains. Here, the sediments may still be subject to weathering; but
probably not in an intense manner as along the southwestern foot of the moun-
tains, but rather a slow process during a long transport path. Sediments along
the northeastern coast are much more mature than those from all other regions.
Very few, if any, mafic minerals or garnets were observed in the heavy mineral
suite (Fig. 6). The main mineral is ilmenite with relatively large amounts of rutile,
zircon and some alumnosilicates. A similar assemblage is observed along the
northwestern coast (Fig. 6), but other beaches in this area show a much higher
abundance of magnetite, garnet and mafic silicates (Appendix A).
Valuable minerals (Ti-minerals including rutile, zircon, sillimanite/kyanite, gar-

net, and staurolite) form very different fractions in the total heavy mineral as-
semblage (see Fig. 7). These values are most probably an indication of the
maximum amounts, rather than the average amount. High values are found
along the western coast, locally at the northwestern coast and around the de-
posit along the northeastern coast. Minor amounts of monazite, which was the
target of the earlier NARA study (see Introduction) are present in some samples
from the Western and South-Western coast.
6.2 TiO2 grade of ilmenite and leucoxene in beach and river sand
Figures 10 and 11 show the TiO2-concentration in ilmenite and leucoxene. The
highest concentrations of TiO2 in Ti-minerals (excl. rutile and Ti magnetite) oc-
cur at the southwestern coast, south of the capital Colombo, in the lagoon along
the northwestern coast, north of Puttalam, and along the northeastern coast,
GEUS 43
where a deposit is already being exploited by Lanka Mineral Sands Corp. (Min-
istry of Industrial Development; source: USGS Mineral Yearbook, 2007) at Pul-
moddai. The latter part of the coast with high TiO2-concentration ilmenite grains
and high amount of ilmenite in the raw sand stretches for several kilometres and
seems larger than the area currently exploited (Fig. 8, 10 & 11). During the
monsoon season, heavy mineral sand is washed on the beach at the northeast-
ern coast from the nearby ocean, thus replenishing the deposit.
The TiO2 concentration in ilmenite may be controlled by the nature of the host
rock and its metamorphic history, but also climate is a signficant factor. Lloyd
and co-workers (2005) found for ilmenite grains from several rocks from south-
ern India that the in-situ alteration in khondalite rocks was much more severe
than in charnockites and hornblende-biotite gneisses. That might be explained
by a different prograde reaction to form ilmenite in these rock types, compared
to the formation in igneous rocks (charnockite and orthogneisses), which influ-
ences the minor and trace element composition of the ilmenite (Soman, 1985).
The river samples generally show a low TiO2 concentration (<53 wt% TiO2),
with the exception of samples 2000990, 2000993 and 2000996 which show an
intermediate TiO2 grade (53-58 wt% TiO2). The TiO2 histograms for the river
samples and the adjacent coastal area show, in most cases, a peak at the
same concentration (Fig. 9; see e.g. the pair 2000990-945 on the western coast
or the pair 2001008-948, on the eastern coast). Those observations indicate
that after transportation to the coast there is only minor further leaching of il-
menite grains. An enhanced TiO2 concentration in ilmenite combined with a
high content of stable heavy minerals such as alumnosilicates, zircon, stauro-
lite, rutile and garnet can be observed globally and is a result of chemical
weathering, which selectively removes less stable heavy minerals such as am-
phibole, pyroxene, epidote and magnetite (e.g. Friis 1974; Weibel, 2003).
The three samples 2000990, 2000993 and 2000996 were retrieved from the
foot of the mountains on the SW side of the island. The samples originate from
the area that is indicated by Dissanakayake and Chandrita (1999) as “major
gem fields” (southern part of HC, south of Kandy). It may be that the host rock
(oldest part of the HC, metasedimentary schists and gneisses) coupled with its
metamorphic history (granulite facies metamorphism) yielded an ilmenite com-
position that is more prone to alteration and TiO2 enrichment. A very likely key
factor in the alteration of ilmenite in this area is the amount of precipitation. Lo-
cated at the southwestern side of the highest mountains of the island, with a
high yearly precipitation fed by a west-east monsoon, this area has the most
humid tropical climate of the island and is thus prone to chemical weathering
and will develop thick soil horizons in which acidic pore waters circulate (e.g.
Johnson et al. 1977).
It is hard to pin-point the region of origin of the ilmenite along the northeastern
coast. The river flowing into the lagoon near Pulmoddai, the Yan Oya, originates
in the Wanni complex. Within this complex, some high grade metasedimentary
rocks have been reported, metamorphosed at uppermost amphibolite facies
conditions (see Chapter 3.1 and 3.2). At least some of the sand might have
44 GEUS
been brought towards the coast by the Mahaveli river from the area near Kandy
and being redistributed northward by the east-west monsoon in that area. The
strong similarity between the northeastern coast samples and the northwestern
coast samples, which also in some cases show elevated TiO2 concentrations, in
terms of heavy mineral suite composition suggests that both were derived from
the same areas.
Figure 8 shows the amount of ilmenite in raw sand. Even though these fre-
quency measurements are most probably not representative (see Chapter 5.1),
they might serve as a first indication of higher grade localities and perhaps even
as an indicator for the maximum amount of ilmenite present. However, the ar-
eas high in ilmenite and leucoxene in raw sand roughly correlate with the areas
listed by Cooray, 1967 (see Chapter 2.1). High amounts of ilmenite in raw sand
are found in the northwestern lagoon, but seem to occur only in samples that
are low in TiO2 concentration. The amounts of ilmenite and leucoxene in raw
sand are generally high along the western coast and coincide with high TiO2
concentrations shortly south of Colombo (samples 2000793, 2000794). The
area around the deposit at the northeastern coast displays the largest extent of
high TiO2 concentration in a large volume ilmenite-rich sand body.
MgO and MnO concentrations in ilmenite grains are dominated by the host rock
of the ilmenite (Hedge et al, 2006, Bernstein et al., 2008). MnO is high in ilmen-
ite from alkaline igneous rocks (over ca. 4 wt%) and lower in most other igneous
and metamorphic rock types (McLimans et al., 2005, Christiansen, 2006); MgO
tends to be higher than 0.5 wt% in ilmenite derived from igneous rocks, for
metamorphic rocks it serves as a grade indicator with an increase for higher
grade metamorphic rocks (McLimans et al., 2005). This fits with the trend for
MgO in Figure 13 and 14, samples derived from the VC (east and south-east
coast), which was metamorphosed under amphibolite facies conditions, yield
lower MgO concentrations in ilmenite than the samples from the HC, which was
metamorphosed at granulite facies conditions. In comparison with the TiO2 con-
centration in ilmenite, MgO is increasing with increasing TiO2 concentration,
with an exception for the eastern coast. In samples from the eastern coast and
locally on the northwestern coast MnO and MgO appear to exist mutually exclu-
sive in ilmenite; on the northeastern coast both are high. The higher MnO in il-
menite for the sample derived from the northwestern and norhteastern coast
might also relate to a MnO-enriched source rock: a slightly higher MnO-
concentration was also found in garnets from those areas (Fig. 17).
6.3 Comparison with heavy mineral suites for beach and river sedi-
ments collected in southern India
The geology of southern India is divided into charnockites, khondalites and
hornblende-biotite gneisses. The same rock-types are observed in Sri-Lanka,
especially in the VC, HC, and WC respectively, but the different rock-types oc-
cur in much smaller areas and are much more interleaved with each other.
Therefore, it is much harder to connect certain geological features to certain
kinds of rock. Khondalite is a typical rock-type in India; it has been mapped un-
GEUS 45
der different names in Sri Lanka (often as garnet-silimanite schists and
gneisses ± graphite or metasediment schist) and is often lumped together with
other rock types, especially because it often occurs as tens or hundreds of me-
tres wide bands within charnockites and other granulite facies rocks.
Lloyd et al (2005) and Bernstein (2004) noted that the higher grade ilmenite
grains were correlated with the khondalite belt in India. One of Bernstein’s char-
acteristics was the high amount of garnets in these beach samples. The present
study shows, that the number of garnets is not relevant for the evaluation of the
grade of the ilmenite. Rather, the data suggests a decrease in the amount of
garnets with an increase in the average TiO2-concentration of ilmen-
ite+leucoxene per sample and an increase in the amount of sillimanite-kyanite
with increasing TiO2 concentration in ilmenite + leucoxene. The latter observa-
tion is in accordance with data of Bernstein et al., 2008. The garnet-
alumnosilicate ratio (GtAsi) is an additional tool to trace high TiO2-concentration
ilmenite occurrences (Fig. 14).
Bernstein et al. (2008) recorded the same increase with increasing TiO2 con-
centration for Indian ilmenite. In their case this trend was much clearer. For the
Indian ilmenite grains a decrease in MnO concentration with increasing TiO2
concentration was observed. For the ilmenite grains of Sri Lanka, the samples
on the northwestern, northeastern and eastern coast do not follow this trend.
For the samples from the western, southwestern, southeastern and river sam-
ples the same trend is obtained as for the Indian samples; even the absolute
MgO, MnO and TiO2 concentrations are comparable. Bernstein (2004) reports
the anti-correlation between MnO in ilmenite and the amount of garnets in the
sample. The same observation was made for samples from Sri Lanka.
Figure 18 shows that up three different groups of garnets occur along the coast
and in the river samples on Sri Lanka. As for the Indian samples the grade of
the ilmenite strongly correlates with the nature of the garnets: samples in which
the group garnets with a low grossular content and a high pyrope content was
very dominant or the only type of garnets observed are found to give a strong
relation to a high TiO2 wt%. The same was observed for garnets observed in
India (Bernstein et al., 2008). These garnets are derived from high-metamorphic
grade meta-sedimentary rocks. Samples that dominantly show other groups of
garnet do not show elevated concentrations of TiO2 in ilmenite + leucoxene.
Alternatively, it could be argued that the concentration of high pyrope content

garnets is partially or completely climate-controlled, if Mg-rich garnets are more
resistant to weathering under (semi-)tropical conditions than Ca-rich garnets
are. Morton (1987) showed that high Ca-garnets in sand under diagenetic burial
conditions are less stable than low Ca-garnets. The enrichment of Ti in ilmenite
and the maturing of the sediment under (semi-)tropical climate conditions, might
also selectively remove the more Ca-rich garnets with respect to other garnets.
If this is the case, than the source rock of the garnets might less important than
stated in this report.

6.4 Suggestions for further research
The 2004 tsunami showed that a large amount of heavy mineral sand occurs
just beneath the normal water level for the coast of Sri Lanka. Figure 19 shows
the beach near Colombo at the moment of regression of one of the tsunami
waves. The coastal area near Colombo seems one of the most promising areas
for high grade Ti-minerals in Sri Lanka with a high TiO2 concentration and pos-
sibly high amount of ilmenite in raw sand. It is very likely that the coastal area of
the continental shelf of the island is showing a further, yet unexplored area of
high grade ilmenite sand. With use of some divers it should be easy to make a
few off-shore profiles perpendicular to the coast.

Due to the uncertainty in sampling method, it is worthwhile to resample key ar-

eas (in the lagoon at the northwestern coast north of Puttalam, just south of Co-
lombo, and north and south of the exploited deposit at Pulmoddai) to reinvesti-
gate the amount ilmenite and leucoxene in raw sand.
Large parts of the coast were sampled at five to ten kilometre spacing and sev-
eral rivers were followed stream up. For a further understanding of different as-
pects of the sediment evolution from mountainous rivers to evolved beach
sands a few of these river systems and coastal areas could be studied in further
detail by measuring the additional samples of those areas.

7 Conclusions
Based on the analyses of 91 heavy mineral separates from beach and river
samples collected in Sri Lanka and a study of relevant literature, it is concluded
that:
• Ilmenite+leucoxene are volumetrically the major economic minerals

along the coasts of Sri Lanka. High amounts of ilmenite in beach sand
were reported by Cooray (1967) along the northwestern coast north of
Puttalam, south of Colombo, and around of the exploited deposit at Pul-
moddai at the northeastern coast.
• The heavy mineral suites occurring along the coast of Sri Lanka can be
divided into 6 groups of beach samples. Their heavy mineral suite re-
flects the composition of their source rocks in the Highland Complex,
Wanni Complex or Vivian Complex.
• Coast sand samples can be related to river input and the rock sources
drained by the river system as shown by garnet compositions and the
overall heavy mineral suite. The relations are not universal, however, as
monsoons and currents, mix the sediments along the coasts. A clockwise
current spreads the sand around the island.
• Along the northwestern, northeastern and southwestern coast of Sri
Lanka ilmenite + leucoxene with an average TiO2 concentration larger
than >58 wt% is observed in significant amounts. Here, ilmenite, leuco-
xene rutile, zircon and staurolite make up a significant portion of the
heavy mineral suite. Here, high pyrope-low grossular garnets and abun-
dant alumnosilicates are observed. The ratio between garnet and gar-
net+alumnosilicates in this area is low.
• Samples with a high quantity of mafic minerals show lower TiO2 concen-
trations. Chemical weathering selectively removes mafic minerals from
the heavy mineral suite and at the same time enhances the TiO2 concen-
tration.
• The source rock of the ilmenite + leucoxene grains with an average TiO2
concentration larger than >58 wt% are high-metamorphic grade (granu-
lite facies) peraluminous metasedimentary rocks. These rocks occur in
the Highland Complex.
• Alteration of ilmenite grains, leading to leaching of iron from the minerals,
seems to start at the wash-over plains of the rivers. Alteration is, among
other factors, dependent on the climate. Intense alteration however, only
occurs in ilmenite derived from high metamorphic-grade metasedimen-
tary rocks. In grains from other source rocks, subject to the same cli-
mate, this intense leaching is not observed. Hence, both climate and
source rock type are important factors.
• A higher (> ca. 0.7 wt%) in MgO in ilmenite+leucoxene weakly correlates
with an increase in TiO2 concentration in the grains. MgO/MnO for these
samples is often larger than 1.0.
• Ti-magnetite is abundant along the northwestern, southeastern and
northeastern coast and in river sediment samples. Rutile is a minor, but
48 GEUS
ubiquitous mineral in the heavy mineral suites. Zircon occurs in most of
the samples that are rich in ilmenite.
