Abstract
The Committee for Co-ordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in Asian Offshore Areas (referred to briefly as the Co-ordinating Committee for Offshore Prospecting, and abbreviated to CCOP) is an intergovernmental body established under the sponsorship of the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE). The steps leading to its establishment are outlined in the reports of its first session (paragraphs 1-5) and second session (paragraphs I. 2): its terms of reference

Quezon City, from 27 May to 2 June 1966.
Since that time, six more sessions of CCOP have been held (second session at Tokyo, 29 October to 7 November 1966; third at Seoul, 24 June to 4 July 1967; fourth at Taipei, 6-16 November 1967; fifth at Tokyo, 10-19 June 1968; sixth at Bangkok, 13-27 May 1969; and seventh at Saigon, 12-23 May 1970), together with meetings of its Technical Advisory Group at each of these sessions; the eighth session of CCOP is planned to be held at Manila, Philip pines, in July 1971.

At the sixth session, Cambodia and Malaysia were welcomed as full members while Indonesia was represented by a group of observers. At the seventh session Indonesia joined a full member, thus completing the membership in CCOP of all nine ECAFE member countries which have substantial areas of offshore territory in eastern Asia.
During the course of these meetings the Committee decided that technical studies relating to marine geology and offshore prospecting for mineral resources, particularly in the offshore areas of the member countries of CCOP, together with preliminary accounts and detailed reports of the results of offshore surveys conducted through the medium of CCOP, should be published in a series of Technical Bulletins, separately from the reports of the Committee’s sessions. The Committee was glad to accept the offer of the Government of Japan to print one volume of the Technical Bulletin annually; this fourth volume of the series, also printed by the Geological Survey of Japan, contains articles and documents that were recommended to be included in Technical Bulletin, volume 4, at the seventh session of CCOP.
A special fifth volume, containing reports on investigations of coastal and inland placers of detrital heavy minerals in the CCOP member countries, together with articles relating to the occurrence of detrital heavy minerals in offshore areas, was prepared and printed by the Technical Secretariat of CCOP in accordance with the request of the Committee at its sixth (report, para. 63) and seventh (report, para. 102) sessions; funds accruing from the sale of CCOP publications were used for the printing of volume 5.
