📋 Tender Overview
The Geological Mining and Metallurgical Institute Ingemmet carried out the geological mapping of the Llochegua quadrangle located in the regions of Cusco Ayacucho and Junn determining that the study area presents anomalies of strategic elements such as Ni-Cr and rare earth anomalies. In this research the geological map of the Llochegua quadrangle was updated information of national interest because it represents a base map to carry out investment projects of mineral resources energy and territorial planning thus contributing to the sustainable development of the country. Prior to the study carried out by the governing body of geoscientific research in Peru only regional geological studies were known in this part of the Eastern Cordillera one of them carried out by Robert Monge in 1998 and other regional studies by the French mission in 1986. In the area the occurrence of minerals is evident both the metamorphic rocks of the Pichari-Cielo Punku Precambrian Complex and the intrusive rocks of the study area present anomalies of strategic elements such as Ni-Cr and rare earth anomalies which contribute to the exploratory potential of these types of elements in the Cordillera Eastern southern Peru In addition the regional stratigraphy has been standardized Permian rocks from the Ene and Mainique formations previously described as Cretaceous have been identified at the southern end of the Ene Basin bordering the Eastern Cordillera. In this sense there is evidence of an upper Permian sedimentation in the Llochegua area which is interpreted as a continuity of the paleogeography of these times from the Ene and South Ucayali basins. Permian stratigraphic units are known to be attractive for hydrocarbon exploration due to the presence of kerogenic shales from the Ene Formation that have a high content of organic matter. Likewise the sandstones of the Mainique Formation are equivalent to the reservoir sandstones of the Camisea gas fields. Among other results rocks of alkaline gabbro composition were identified that cut to the basement Pichari-Cielo Punku Precambrian Complex which is important in reference to its tectonic context.
