Resumen
En el llamado Macizo de Ocaña existen rocas ígneas félsicas; sedimentarias continentales, tipo capas rojas, asociadas con volcánicas; lo que nos induce a ambientesgeológicos favorables para la existencia de yacimientos de uranio. Lo anterior, viene a ser reforzado por la existencia de zonas anómalas radiométricamente y pegmatitas uraníferas. Teniendo esto como base, se escogió una determinada área para realizar un muestreo sistemático de aguas y sedimentos activos. La recolección de muestras y su tratamiento ulterior nos conduce al análisis químico correspondiente(Fluorimétrico); la interpretación final nos demarca zonas potencialmente favorables y recomendables para futuras exploraciones.
The rocks fund in the area of the Ocaña Massif include felsic igneus and continental sedimentary red beds associated with volcanics. The geologic inveronment is favorable for the existence of uranium mineralization. The inferred favorable geologic environment for uranium has been further enhanced by the detection or radiometric anomalous zones and by the presence of uraniferous pegmatites. Based on the preceding favorable geologic inveronment and radiometric anomalies, an area was selected for a detailed geochemical water and stream sediment survey. The collection-preparation of the samples, chemical analysis(fluorimetric), and interpretation of the results delineated potentially favorable zones which were recommended for future exploration.
