The Mindoro block is a microcontinental block located in the Philippine Mobile Belt and the east side of North Palawan Block. It has comprises a metamorphic basement (Mindoro Metamorphics of Teves, 1953) of unknown but probably pre-late cretaceous age, overlain locally by upper cretaceous basalts (Karig, 1983), and more regionally succeeded by a probable upper eocene sequence of basinal clastic rocks, plus local basalt intercalations and carbonates. These rocks are exposed over a broad area of northern and west-central Mindoro as well as on the Lubang Islands in Verde Island Passage. The Mindoro block is bounded on the west by the , and on the north by the (Karig, 1983), which separates it from the terrane of Luzon. The eastern terrane boundary may be the , a probable transcurrent bounda

The eastern terrane boundary may be the , a probable transcurrent boundary that has not yet been studied, but which displays evidence of recent activity (Karig, 1983). Late Miocene and Pliocene basinal clastic strata lie east of this fault zone (Metal Mining Agency, 1982), but it is not known if subjacent rocks are related to rocks of the Mindoro block, or if they are part of a third terrane on Mindoro.
