Secondary Geochemical Dispersion of Cu, Ag, Pb, Zn around the Yanaquero intrusive - Michiquillay - Cajamarca

Resumen

The main objective of this study was to know the Secondary Geochemical Dispersion of Copper, Silver, Lead and Zinc determined by the geochemical characterization in soils around the Yanaquero intrusive in the Michiquillay Sector; For this, 38 soil samples were collected from a rectangular sampling mesh with 200 m spacing, to which the pH and metal content (ppm) were identified, the latter through chemical digestion with Agua Regia, via Absorption. Atomic (EAA). All geochemical information was complemented with local mapping of the intrusive in question. With statistical characterization and data analysis, we were able to develop secondary geochemical dispersion schemes, allowing us to identify anomalies and recognize distribution trends of the four elements studied. Finally, due to the characteristics observed in the field and in the office, it was interpreted that the secondary geochemical dispersion of Copper, Silver, Lead and Zinc in soils around the Yanaquero intrusive - Michiquillay Sector, is related to theoretical mobility and geochemical zoning, in superficial environments of porphyry copper deposits.
