📋 Tender Overview
The Geological Mining and Metallurgical Institute Ingemmet is working on updating the National Geological Chart at a scale of 1 50000 through field work corresponding to specialized studies of stratigraphy magmatism and structural geology which are complemented with the sampling of fossils and rocks for paleontological petrographic and radiometric dating studies.In 2016 within the framework of the research study of the western sedimentary basin of central Peru in the quadrangles of Huancapi 28 and Querobamba 29o httpsbit.ly36z2ijy it was possible to redefine the Stratigraphy previously proposed in this area by other researchers and to expose new geological maps at a scale of 1 50000.Field observations particularly between Cangallo Huancapi and Hualla Ayacucho have allowed to distinguish a stack of more than 300 m of detrital volcanogenic and carbonate rocks which in previous studies were attributed to the Permo-Triassic Mitu Group however with the new detailed studies of structural geology and stratigraphy at 150 000 scale it is established that they correspond to the Ayacucho Formation of the Miocene a much younger unit.In this way for the first time in this part of the Western Cordillera the existence of rocks corresponding to the Ayacucho Formation and a low-angle thrust system with northeast vergence is evidenced. Conclusion reached through geological field observations complemented with the results of laboratory studies.These studies open the possibility of a new geological research zone the results of which will provide new exploration guides with the intention of identifying future prospective zones for mineral resources. In this way it stands out as a correct geological field investigation complemented with laboratory sample studies they are the perfect binomial for the correct geological mapping that Ingemmet has been developing within the framework of the update of the National Geological Chart at scale 1 50000.
