Analytical data

Result LOS DEPOSITOS DE SANTA ROSA, TUPAC AMARU, TIERRA BLANCA, CERRO CAUCATO Y MAIJO GRANDE HAN SIDO CLASIFICADOS COMO DIATOMITAS DE ORIGEN MARINO, CON BAJO CONTENIDO DE SIO2
Result EL ESTUDIO MICROPALEONTOLOGICO Y EL ANALISIS QUIMICO DEL DEPOSITO DE "TUPAC AMARU" DA EL SIGUIENTE RESULTADO
Result FRUSTULAS ENTERAS: 60%, SIO2: 76.90%, AL2O3: 12.15%, FE2O3: 3.14%, CAO: 3.41%. MGO: 1.06%, NA2O: 1.04%, PXC: 1.02%, P.E.: 2.09%. EL ESTUDIO MICROPALEONTOLOGICO HA CONCLUIDO QUE EL PORCENTAJE DE FRUSTULAS ENTERAS ES BAJO

Comments on the workings information

  • AL MOMENTO DE LA VISITA DE RECONOCIMIENTO NO SE ENCONTRO PERSONAL TRABAJANDO, SIN EMBARGO SE OBSERVO QUE SE HA EXPLOTADO ALGUNAS TONELADAS DE ESTE MATERIAL. EL FRENTE DE EXPLOTACION MUESTRA A LOS ESTARTOS DIATOMACEOS HETEROGENEOS EN CUANTO A CALIDAD, PUES SE APRECIA ALGUNOS COLORES MAS CLAROS QUE OTROS, FUNDAMENTALMENTE DEBIDO A IMPUREZAS
