Prospección de placeres aluviales en los ríos Zamora y Namangoza, entre las comunidades Yukianza y San Simón

Abstract

The present study aims to: identify anomalies of secondary gold (Au) (element gold) using geochemical and gravity techniques in Zamora and Namangoza rivers, between the communities of Yukianza and San Simon; in order to obtain a map base for future investment in mining projects. It is located in the Patuca parishes, San Antonio, San Miguel de Conchay, Santiago, and Santa. Susana Chivíaza from Morona Santiago province. The field work had 3 stages: examination of the place, socialization and sampling in which were collected l4 samples in outcrops, 42 in active sediments and 3 in floors, with a total of 59 samples to be analyzed in field by using the batting-colors gravimetric technique and in the metallurgical laboratory ALBEXXUS Cia Ltda.; for technical test fire analysis by Au (gold) total. Applying technical trial geochemistry fire analysis by Au (gold), it was determined that the mineral gold (Au) presents a significant anomalous behavior, because it was succeeded in establishing an anomalous value maximum of 1.64 g/Tn (2.80 g/m3) in coordinates 807802 and-9670569 N; while applyíng the gravimetric technique batting-colors macroscopic, it was determined that the mineral gold (Au), presents an anomalous value maximum of 0.470 g/m3 in the same coordinates, indicatíng that in the area can perform exploration work which enable quantified information of alluvial deposits and according to the same design a profitable productive mining Project for artisanal miners in regards to a small mining.

Keywords; geochemical techniques, gravimetric techniques, weighted law, mineral prospecting, batting colors, gold anomalies.
