Caracterización geológica de la veta Huaylula para definir el nivel de profundización de la mineralización-La Libertad

Abstract

Veta Huaylula prospect is located politically in Northern Perú, La Libertad, Province of Julcan, Dictrict of Huaso, in the community Unigambal being 85km southeast of Trujillo and geological location of the prospect is in quadrangle of Santiago de Chuco (17 g) in the Southern Hemispheres of Zone 17S, on the western flank of the Cordillera Occidental. Regionally, the study area is located within the Group Calipuy volcanism in a volcanic center area called San Pedro. Volcanic activity in the study area was by compressional tectonic events of the Inca Phase and Quechua Phase, showing regional structures of Andean direction (NW-SE) and Trans Andean direction (NE-SW). This intersection of regional structures with the volcanic activity gave rise economic deposits. Locally, the study area has identified 2 volcanic rocks and 3 subparallel veins caused by compressional events being one of greatest interest for its length (~830m) and thickness (≤10m) called Veta Huaylula with presence of Au, Ag, As, Pb and Zn. With geological studies made on the surface was proposed one drilling target with an angle of inclination and azimuth preferential to have more information in the interpretation to define the level of depth of mineralization.
