The maps of the Copipó area that are currently being produced will have applied the methodology developed in the last years by SERNAGEOMIN. It consists of a geological map at scale 1:100,000 with great emphasis on structures and chrono-stratigraphy, with strong support of geochronological, geochemical and petrographic analysis. In this particular area we are carrying out in detail a geologic-volcanologic reconnaissance of the of the volcanic systems that tend to embrace the tecto-volcanic evolution of this portion of the Andes, specially during the last 26 my. In this manner the geological growth is noticeably increasing since in the past it was primarily based in photo interpretation, satellite images with scarce or null field work. The new maps have only been available to one company and we have not had feedback. |

-Mr. Sergio Gelcich, a geologist with the National Service of Mining and Geology of Chile, had a training session of one month in the isotopic laboratories of the GSC Ottawa. The objective was to train a geologist, recently hired by SERNAGEOMIN, in radiometric dating Ar/Ar. The objective was fully accomplished. He received instruction on the techniques of ample preparation, and interpretation of results, under the supervision of Mike Villeneuve. Mr. Gelcich later participated in a seminar on "Radiometric Methods" organized by SERNAGEOMIN, in Santiago in May 1997. He made a presentation on the interpretation of results and the technique Ar/Ar. New goals are foreseen in the future when operation of the new equipment Ar/Ar acquired by SERNAGEOMIN begin. |

2. Project Purpose:
a. Because of restructuring of the Servicio Nacional de Geologia y Mineria (SERGEOMIN) there has been a reduction in staff and budget. For this reason, the activities for 1998 have been exclusively office work. The MAP team only came together for the revision and completion of prospect maps of the following areas in draft versions:
1997-1998 different scales: 1:100,000-1:50,000-1:10,000.

* These maps were not concluded because the planned field work for this year was not completed due to lack of funds in the budget. |
b. Preliminary draft reports on the Carangas area have been completed.
3. Meetings Attended:
MAP Executive Council Meeting from September 19 - 23 1997 in Arequipa (Peru), representing SERGEOMIN were: Ing. Marcelo Claure, and Ing. Orlando Sanjines.
MAP Executive Council Meeting from January 28 to February 3, 1998 in Vancouver (Canada), representing SERGEOMIN were: Ing. Marcelo Claure and Ing. Orlando Sanjines.
MAP Executive Council Meeting from November 13th to 15th, 1998 in Buenos Aires (Argentina), representing SERGEOMIN were: Ing. Marcelo Claure and Ing. Humberto Mallo.
4. Distribution of MAP information:
The department of Geological / Mining Information (DIGEM) is in charge of distributing information generated by the different units of SERGEOMIN and according to statistics there is a low percentage of sales from September 1997 to the present of products related to MAP. Nonetheless, there exists good demand for Open File No 1which is out of print. Bulletin No 23 still has not been turned in to DIGEM to be sold.
5. Format of Maps and Reports
The program for the National Geological Map by SERGEOMIN has established norms for the creation of geological maps. In regards to MAP, since last fiscal year (Bolivian), there have been changes to the format of the maps in the area of scale, reference and presentation. The new scale will be 1:100,000, the final products are being standardized, which to the moment has been accepted by the users.
Project Activities
6. Analytical Laboratory Results:
In the month of August of 1997, 127 samples were sent to Canada and the results from the analysis was received in Bolivia in November of the present year. A short course on the use of Field Log and the Apple Newton was given by a Canadian expert in March of 1998 at SERGEOMIN offices
7. Participation of Personnel in Training Courses:
In the month of November of the present year, Technical Advisor to MAP Dr. Art Soregaroli made a brief visit to several of the MAP areas in Bolivia together with the new technical staff assigned to the Project. The motive for the trip was to exchange ideas on how to plan and carry out field work in 1999.
8. Standardization of Cartographic Standards:
The information generated by MAP so far is still in the draft stage, however norms for cartographic standards are being considered.
9. Metallogenic Map:
SERGEOMIN during the current fiscal year has completed a Metallogenic Map of Bolivia at a scale of 1:1,000,000 in digital format which includes a data base and detailed notes, which is to used as a base for coordinating with the other MAP countries.
10. Conferences on MAP themes and Attendance at Courses:
In the month of September of the present year a SERGEOMIN MAP scientist was invited to the University of Manitoba (Canada) to participate in geological research using RadarSat satellite images as part of the GlobeSar2 project. The objective was to learn satellite image processing software and to learn the new techniques in the field of Remote Sensing. He also commenced some joint research with experts from the University of Manitoba.
The benefit for the institution and the country is that SERGEOMIN scientists are acquiring experience and modern research techniques which will help elevate the quality of scientific research in the area of natural resource management by means of satellites orbiting the earth.
SERGEOMIN also attended the World Geological Surveys of America Congress at which the Metallogenic map of Bolivia (1:1,000,000 scale) was presented as well as areas of MAP. The participant from SERGEOMIN was Ing. Carlos Riera. The congress took place in Toronto, Canada from October 25 to November 1, 1998.
This meeting was held in conjunction with the Geological Society of America Conference.
November 1998 CHILE
Verifiable Indicator Report was not received from Chile for 1998.
November 1998 PERU
1. There exists no detailed control of mining concessions in the area of the Project, however, the number of mining concessions have increased especially in the Ayapata and Corani quadrangles.
2. Between September 1997 and December of 1998 the following bulletins have been published:
3. In conjunction with geologists with SERNAGEOMIN (Chile) from 19/10/98 to 26/10/98 we did geological reconnaissance and sampling (for age determination) of several volcanic rocks on the border region of Chile and Peru. Participants from INGEMMET included Agapito Sanchez, Robert Monge, and Michael Valencia.
4. There was much expectation for new information.
5. INGEMMET maintains the format and contents of the bulletins in all of its publications.
6. The lab results have supported the published works, the problem has been the delay in results
7. In March of 1997 Dr. Steve Gordey, an expert in Paleozoic Stratigraphy, visited INGEMMET and gave a conference entitled “Evaluation of the Canadian Cordillera with Emphasis on the Paleozoic”.
8. The establishment of cartographic standards is presently being coordinated at a “commission” level.
9. The creation of metallogenic maps of with bordering countries is not currently planned.
