Valls Geoconsultant (VG) is offering a quality assurance program for the field sampling procedures which include collection, labeling, and shipping components. VG also has established a series of procedures for logging and general mapping. This is especially important in larger projects, where more than one geologist is doing field descriptions. Part II of this series will deal in more details with the correct procedures of other type of exploration work. VG has thus implemented a procedure for the field naming of rocks that follows the model: ALTERATION / (QUALIFIER & NAME) / TEXTURE / MINERALIZATION. A system for the codification of the alteration and mineralization type and intensity is also incorporated in these procedures. For sequential samplings like pitting or drilling, we should take field duplicate samples every 40 samples when exploring for gold, or every 20 when exploring for other metals. We should use blanks every 33 samples, samples for external controls every 100 samples and standard samples with each batch of samples send for processing at 50 samples intervals. We should codify the sampling booklets to show the type of control for the sample. ]]>

A FIELD TRIP THROUGH CENTRAL GUATEMALA The NW corner of the Caribbean Plate is complicated by the presence of a continental type block, the Chortis Block, within a mostly oceanic plate and a combination of a slip-strike boundary to the north running from the Belize-Guatemala border with a subduction zone to the west where the Cocos Plate is subducted beneath the Caribbean Plate, and an extinguished subduction zones to the north and south, were the Caribbean Plate was temporarily subducted beneath the Maya and Chortis Block. The Author believes that the migration of the Chortis block in an S-SW and then N direction was one of the mechanisms responsible for the changes observed among the ophiolitic complexes in Guatemala. The Author introduces the idea of the pre-existence of a trench associated with the Motagua-Jalomáx slip-strike fault system near the north border of Honduras, currently filled up and destroyed by the northward migration of the Chortis Block. Also, he introduces the idea of an orogenic event - The Chuacús Orogeny - probably the same age as the Laramide Orogeny in North America. The Author postulate that the Chuacús Orogeny pushed younger ophiolites complexes in Guatemala to the surface and is responsible for the metamorphic basin of Central Guatemala - The Chuacús Series. The obduction of the oldest ophiolites on the western end of the belts may have being caused by the passing by of the Jamaica block on its way to its present position south of Cuba.]]>

NICKEL LATERITE DEPOSITS Geology and Lineament Analysis of the Baja Verapaz Ophiolitic Complex Summary The Baja Verapaz Ophiolitic Complex encompasses an ophiolitic complex protruding metamorphic rocks from the Chuacús Series in Central Guatemala. The targeted mineralization is represented by two types of Nickel-Cobalt laterite deposits, an in situ type and an alluvial-deluvial type. A typical laterite profile consists of a Limonitic Horizon which is separated from the Saprolite Horizon by a transition zone named the Mottled Zone. The Saprolite Horizon lays over the Saprock that transitions into the Bedrock, usually represented by serpentinized olivine-rich Lherzolites or Dunites. The usual thickness of these deposits averages 33 meters, but there are known intersections of more than 90 meters in the area. Nickel content varies from 0.4% in the Limonite Horizon to over 1.5% at the bottom of the Saprolite Horizon. Higher values are sometime found associated to the presence of Garnierite. Cobalt values vary from 0.08 to 0.2%. There is also the presence of traces of Au and PGM, usually associated to the Mottled Zone. The lineament analysis completed over an area of 1,541.22 km2 encompassing the whole Baja Verapaz ophiolitic complex, was aimed to identify other potential zones of laterite development in this area. The lineament analysis was completed using a combination of topographic maps in electronic format, aero photos and a D.E.M. of the region and included an aeromagnetic survey of the area. The study also included image interpretation of satellite images and 3D strain and stress analysis. The study indicated the existence of new potential targets and clarified the relationship between the known deposits.]]>

The lineament analysis completed over an area of 1,541.22 km2 encompassing the whole Baja Verapaz ophiolitic complex, was aimed to identify other potential zones of laterite development in this area. The lineament analysis was completed using a combination of topographic maps in electronic format, aero photos and a D.E.M. of the region and included an aeromagnetic survey of the area. The study also included image interpretation of satellite images and 3D strain and stress analysis. The study indicated the existence of new potential targets and clarified the relationship between the known deposits. <img style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" alt="" src="https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/section8-190627121639-thumbnail.jpg?width=120&height=120&fit=bounds" /> NICKEL LATERITE DEPOSITS Geology and Lineament Analysis of the Baja Verapaz Ophiolitic Complex Summary The Baja Verapaz Ophiolitic Complex encompasses an ophiolitic complex protruding metamorphic rocks from the Chuacús Series in Central Guatemala. The targeted mineralization is represented by two types of Nickel-Cobalt laterite deposits, an in situ type and an alluvial-deluvial type. A typical laterite profile consists of a Limonitic Horizon which is separated from the Saprolite Horizon by a transition zone named the Mottled Zone. The Saprolite Horizon lays over the Saprock that transitions into the Bedrock, usually represented by serpentinized olivine-rich Lherzolites or Dunites. The usual thickness of these deposits averages 33 meters, but there are known intersections of more than 90 meters in the area. Nickel content varies from 0.4% in the Limonite Horizon to over 1.5% at the bottom of the Saprolite Horizon. Higher values are sometime found associated to the presence of Garnierite. Cobalt values vary from 0.08 to 0.2%. There is also the presence of traces of Au and PGM, usually associated to the Mottled Zone. The lineament analysis completed over an area of 1,541.22 km2 encompassing the whole Baja Verapaz ophiolitic complex, was aimed to identify other potential zones of laterite development in this area.

The study also included image interpretation of satellite images and 3D strain and stress analysis.

THE PADRE ANTONIO COPPER PROJECT The Padre Antonio Project is located in western Guatemala, specifically, east of the village of Santa Eulalia in the Huehuetenango Department. The property has an area of 24 km2 in rugged terrain, which range in elevation between 2,000 and 2,500 meters (AMSL). The Padre Antonio Project was discovered by an Italian immigrant turned prospector after he organized a stream sediment sampling of the Tziquiná river that crosses the area. Near the highest copper value samples, located almost at the centre of the license, Mr. Bruno Montuori then organized the digging of a 7 meters pit that found massive chalcopyrite and abundant secondary copper minerals.]]>

The gold potential of Guatemala Most of the work reflected in this section is based on a geochemical and geological survey conducted by the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Korean Institute of Geology, Mining, and Materials (KIGAM) in 1998. The main objective of the Korean surveys was to fulfill the geochemical exploration for discriminating the characteristics of mineralization of the Motagua Basin and its vicinities. The author also used the data from previous exploration studies (mainly pitting and assay results) conducted by Transmetales Ltda. (Transmetales), Cominco Resources International Limited (Cominco), and other companies. The ore deposits in the east and east central Guatemala are generally divided into three types of deposits: Vein type of gold-silver and lead-zinc deposits widely distributed in volcanic and granite intrusives especially in the southern part of Motagua fault zone; Nickel-chromium deposits associated with ultramafic serpentinite and peridotite rocks in the middle part of Guatemala; and Antimony and polymetallic ore deposits related with Tertiary rock which is exposed in the regions of mid-Tertiary volcanic activity. For the most part they form pods or narrow veins, which appear to be widely scattered throughout the dissected volcanic plateau. From the Paleozoic to the Quaternary, tectonic and magmatic activity has occurred in different occasions which have caused a diversity of ore deposits. The present section compiles the existing information on the Izabal District and the La Unión Area, south of the Izabal Lake. It shows the gold potential of several targets in the region.]]>

Part 1 of 10 Introduction to the Ophiolitic Belts INTRODUCTION The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the ophiolitic processes associated with the Motagua Suture Zone in Guatemala and to show their mineral potential. It includes the final version of the Field Trip to Guatemala designed by the Author. In preparing this book I have compiled information from different sources, including several internet sources, combined with my personal experiences in the mapping of the area and help and cooperation of the geologists from the Guatemalan Ministry of Energy and Mines. The Caribbean Plate (Fig. 1) is the result of the Mesozoic-Present interaction of the Nazca, Cocos, North, and South American plates. The margins of these plates are represented by large deformed belts which resulted from several compressional episodes that started in the Cretaceous and were followed by tensional and strike-slip tectonics. The present-day north-western margin of the Caribbean Plate crops out in Guatemala along the Motagua Suture Zone (MSZ). This zone links the Meso-American trench with the Cayman Islands extensional system as shown in Fig. 2. The MSZ represents a sinistral shear-zone between the Maya Continental Block (MCB) to the north and the Chortis Continental Block (ChCB) to the south. The MSZ includes the Motagua Fault Systems of Polochic, Motagua, Cabañas, and Jocotán. All these are E-W and ENE-WSW strike-slip faults. Some of them are still seismically active. The MSZ also includes E-W uplift structures (Sierra de Chuacús, Sierra de Las Minas, and Montañas del Mico), pull-apart basins like the one responsible for the formation of the Lake Izabal, and N-S oriented grabens (Chiquimula, Guatemala, etc.). ]]>
