2. FIELD TRIPS (dates, area visited, field trip leaders, numbers of participants,

sponsors, benefits for students)

2nd to 9th April, 2017: I FIELD TRIP SEG UNMSM – SEG UNAL – SEG UCE,

ECUADOR 2017



Email: [email protected] Summary: In this field trip we participate student members of the SEG UNMSM – Perú,

SEG UNAL – Colombia and SEG UCE – Ecuador. We visited the strategic mining projects

of Ecuador like: FRUTA DEL NORTE (low-intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposit)

and MIRADOR (porphyry Cu-Mo deposit) in the Zamora province, EL DOMO (volcanic

massive sulphide deposit) in the Bolívar province, LOMA LARGA (high sulfidation

epithermal deposit) in the Azuay province and the mining district ZARUMA-

PORTOVELO, which consists of a system of polymetallic hydrothermal veins.

Field Trip Leaders: Msc. Marcelo Llerena, Msc. William Arteaga and Msc. Israel Sangay

and Evelyn Caiza (President SEG Student Chapter UCE-FIGEMPA)

Numbers of participants: SEG-UNMSM Student Members (7 participants), SEG-UNAL

Student Members (6 participant) and SEG-UCE Student Members (10 participants)

Benefits for students: know the type of deposit, the methods of exploration used, future

plans of the deposit, characteristics of the surrounding geological terrain and social

aspects. In addition, drill core observation and logging was carried out.

23th to 29th July, 2017: II FIELD TRIP SEG UNAL – SEG UCE-FIGEMPA, COLOMBIA

2017

Summary: In this field trip we participate student members of the SEG UNAL – Colombia

and SEG UCE – Ecuador. We visited projects located in the Northern Andes of Colombia.

These deposits are part of the Middle Cauca Belt related to magmatism during the

Miocene, like: GRAMALOTE (IRGS – Intrusion related gold system deposit), NUEVO

CHAQUIRO (porphyry Au-Cu deposit), EL ROBLE (volcanic massive sulphide deposit),

BURITICA (intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposit) in the Medellín department, we

also visited the MINERALOGY LABORATORY of UNAL sede Medellín.

Field Trip Leaders: Luis Felipe Mahecha (President SEG Student Chapter UNAL-Bogotá)

Numbers of participants: SEG-UCE Student Members (7 participants)

Benefits for students: Visit the mine, observe drill core, and learn to recognize altering

minerals and its relation with geological characteristics of the deposit.

participants, benefits for students)

CONFERENCE

28th April, 2017: “LATEST ADVANCES IN THE AU-CU CASCABEL PROJECT – NEW

WORLD CLASS DEPOSIT”

This conference was given by Jason Thomas Ward - General Manager of SoldGold in

Ecuador and member of the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG). He talked about the

geology of the project, exploration campaigns, mineralization and areas of alteration of

the deposit and themes related to social and environmental aspects.

exploration, hydrothermal processes and supergenes processes” by William

Chávez and GEOMINESUR

Summary: In this course we dealt with the hypogenic and supergene processes of the

different types of mineral deposits, by means of a check of drilling cores, it was possible



Email: [email protected] to clearly define zones of alteration according to mineralogical assemblies. We also

visited the high-sulfidation epithermal deposit “LOMA LARGA”. The organization of the

course was carried out by GEOMINESUR Cia. Ltda.

Number of participants: SEG-UCE Student Members (3 participants)
