OVERVIEW In the Central Puna, the most advanced geothermal project in development stage is the Tuzgle-Tocomar geothermal system (e.g. Coira, 1995; Sainato and Pomposiello, 1997; Giordano et al., 2013, Norini et al., 2014). Recently investigations (Filipovich et al., 2016, 2017a, 2017b, 2018; Giordano et al., 2016; Ahumada et al. 2017, 2019; Chiodi et al., 2019a),…
Overview TYPE OF PRODUCT OBTAINED FROM IT: Uranium DEPOSIT TYPE: Sandstone-hosted uranium deposits The uranium exploration in Golfo San Jorge basin was commenced in the 50s by the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA). Later in the 2000s, other foreign-capital financed companies joined CNEA for the element exploration, leading to the expansion of the investigation at…
OVERVIEW TYPE OF PRODUCT OBTAINED FROM IT: CaF2TYPE OF DEPOSIT: The Fluorita vetiform deposit is located in the geologic province of The North Patagonian Massif to the south of the Province of Chubut where most fluorite occurs in Jurassic volcanic rocks. This region comprises a big mining district. This was the result of the regional…
Overview San Andres project is located in the Puna of Jujuy, approximately 190 km of the capital city and 15 km of La Providencia Mine (operation coming soon by Hanaq) and can be accessed through a secondary road. San Andres is a low to intermediate sulfidation deposit that contains mostly Ag-Cu-Pb. Mineralization occurs scatteredly and…
Overview Cerro Tinte is a silver, lead and zinc low-sulfidation epithermal deposit composed by calcareous and pyroclastic rocks. It presents banded structures that can get to 3 meters wide with quartz-barite and zones replaced by sulfides. The results of Surface Geochemistry amount to values of 357 gr/tn of silver.

Overview The Sierra de Las Minas project is located approximately 800 km northeast of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and 450 km northeast of Santiago de Chile (Chile); exactly southeast of the Province of La Rioja (Argentina). The project extends for approximately 4,000 hectares, which are divided into three exploration objectives: El Abra, JV14 and Aguero Maestro….
Overview Cerro Delta, located on the Maricunga Belt, is a high-sulfidation epithermal Au–Ag deposit composed by graniodorite to porphyritic rocks intruded by dacitic domes, andesite lavas and mafic reservoirs. It comprises Advanced Argilic alteration zones with central zones composed by vuggy quartz textures with silica superpositions. The superficial geochemical results show values of up to…
Overview La Providencia is an epythermal deposit of silver, copper, lead and zinc found in quaternary deposits (Deposits of La Providencia, Peralta and Sureda, 1992. Pleistocene), which all are superimposed by the tectonic shift of red bed-type sediments of the sediments group known as Pastos Grandes (Sijes Formation) of the Tertiary Period. Such sediments are…
Overview The Solaroz Project is a brine lithium exploration project covering 12,080 hectares at the northeast border of the Salar of Olaroz, Province of Jujuy, Argentina. Hanaq Argentina will carry out its operation activities through the company Hananta SA resulting from the joint venture with the Australian company Strike Resources Ltd. The company Sales de…
Overview The Pocitos salt flat is geologically similar to other well-known deposits located in continental basins as those found in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. The mineral occurrence is brine retained in aquifers connected to an endorheic basin located in regions where rates of evaporation are higher than rates of precipitation. This results in the precipitation…
