Joaquín Caso Soledad Urtubey Emilio Defferrari Secretary Vice-preside President SC & VB SC & VB SC & VB 8 INTRODUCTION The Geological and Mining Survey of Argentina (SEGEMAR) and the Geological Association of Argentina (AGA) organize the next 15th Quadrennial International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits Symposium, to be hosted in the city of Salta, Argentina, 28th to 31st August 2018 and give full support for its achievement. The focal theme for this Symposium is: “Ore deposits: providing resources for present and future generations”. It is worth to highlight that this is the first time for Argentina and South America to host such important meeting. South America, particularly the Andean region includes some of the richest metallogenic provinces in the world, such as the richest Cu-Mo province, one of the most extensive and rich Sn belts, one the richest Sb belts, the most important concentrations of Li in salars and one of the richest borates provinces. Also it hosts some of the largest individual ore deposits such as Cerro Rico de Potosí, Llallagua, Chuquicamata and El Teniente mines. South America offers excellent geology hosting world class mineral deposits covering the past 2 Billion years of Earth’s Metallogenic history, encompassing almost every conceivable metallogenic process. Thus the region offers something that will tempt every economic geologist and metallogenist. The diversity of the geology, mineral resources and population invite the world to investigate and discuss the science and enjoy Argentina’s renowned hospitality. The chance for Argentina for hosting this important meeting is a unique opportunity to create an extraordinary environment for the presentation and exchange of knowledge and research results on the genesis of mineral deposits. It will also give an invaluable occasion for local scientists for training in various aspects related to metallogeny and research tools. The Argentine bid commits to enhance the participation in the IAGOD Symposium of young geoscientists, students and delegates from less advantaged countries from around the globe. The commitments from the Geological Survey of Argentina and the Geological Association of Argentina, the supports from the Ibero-American Geological and Mining Survey Association as well as from the private natural resources sector guarantee a successful 15th Quadrennial IAGOD Symposium. The Geological and Mining Survey of Argentina (SEGEMAR) was founded in 1904 and plays a pivotal role in the knowledge of the geology of Argentina as well as in the identification of main mineral resources of the country. Its main responsibility is to examine the geological structure and non renewable natural resources of the territory providing geoscientific information and technical expertise required to promote an efficient exploitation of the natural resources, and to contribute to the preservation of life and properties of the inhabitants facing risks derived from geodynamic processes. 9 The Geological Association of Argentina (AGA) was created in 1945. It groups professionals, students, libraries, institutions and companies linked to the geological sciences both from out country as well as from Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Peru, USA, Canada, England, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and the UK. Its aim is to foster the advancement of Geological Sciences, stimulating scientific research, especially in regard to the best knowledge of the geology of Argentina and neighboring regions of America. DATE The dates for this event are 28th to 31st August 2018 and are based on weather conditions, accessibility of mineral deposits during field trips as well as reasonably align with the teaching calendars of the Universities. PROJECTED NUMBER OF DELEGATES & POTENTIAL EXHIBITORS The conservative estimate for the number of delegates coming to IAGOD 2018 is between 700 and 1,000. Potential exhibitors include local agents for international and local mining companies, scientific organizations, and service and equipment supplier companies. REGISTRATION FEES The preliminary cost estimation is U$S 550 for Regular Registration Fee, U$S 400 for LDC participants Registration (up to 20% Delegates) and U$S 200 for Students (up to 10% Delegates). The Fee comprises all costs of the Symposium including conference pack materials, every day bus services from and to hotels, warm lunches, morning and afternoon coffee catering, Welcome party and Farewell Assembly cocktail. It also includes one day excursion for all delegates with the “Train to the Clouds - Tren de las Nubes” departing from Salta as a farewell party. Train to the Clouds Excursion The Symposium will conclude, the day after the Closure Assembly, with a private excursion on the world famous Train to the Clouds and a Farewell Lunch in an old traditional Estancia at the gates of the Puna region and is expected to accommodate up to 500 people. 10 SPONSORSHIP Sponsors have the opportunity to reach a broad international audience through this Symposium, having their sponsorship promoted in various ways.

    Palaeoindian Occupation of the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile

    Palaeoindian occupation of the Atacama Desert, northern Chile MARTIN GROSJEAN,1* LAUTARO NU´ N˜ EZ2 and ISABEL CARTAJENA3 1 National Center of Excellence in Research on Climate (NCCR Climate) and Institute of Geography, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland 2 Instituto de Investigaciones Arqueolo´gicas y Museo, Universidad Cato´lica del Norte, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile 3 Departamento de Antropologı´a, Universidad de Chile, N˜ un˜oa, Santiago de Chile ABSTRACT: Palaeoindian occupation of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile has been found between 12 600 and 10 200 cal. yr BP. The new site at Salar Punta Negra (24 280S/60 530W/ 2976 m) includes about 1000 classifiable, mostly unifacial artefacts and, uniquely, three different diagnostic types of early projectile points. Two of the Lateglacial/early Holocene projectile types have wide distribution and are known from different geographical areas in South America: the Palaeoindian ‘Fell’ fish-tail point mainly from the southern cone of South America, and the triangular ‘Tuina’ points typical of the Puna of the south-central Andes in northern Chile and northwestern Argentina. In addition, we found a third type, a stemmed point typical for the Salar Punta Negra. Fill- ing a large geographical gap of ‘Fell’ occupation, the site at Salar Punta Negra provides evidence for generally much higher mobility and diversity of early cultures, and supports an Andean-Pacific route for early human exploration of South America to the south through the desert at intermediate alti- tudes. Contemporaneous high-amplitude climatic changes were fundamental preconditions to pro- vide adequate environments and habitats, and to make Palaeoindian hunting-gathering occupation possible in the Atacama Desert.

Santa María 0104, Providencia, Santiago, Chile Abstract The Denaro Complex, part of the Madre de Dios Terrane is composed of metamorphosed pillow basalts, metahyaloclastites, banded metalliferous and radiolarian metacherts, metapelites and redeposited calcareous metasandstones. The basaltic rocks show primary textures, minerals and structures. They are foliated especially in the vicinities of thrust faults, interpreted to have developed during the accretion of the terrane to the Gondwana margin. Composition of relic primary augite and chromite crystals plots into the MORB field of tectonic discriminant diagrams, as do the analyses of whole rock geochemistry, which indicates that these rocks are akin to volcanic rocks erupted along a constructive plate margin (N- and E-type MORBs), probably in a spreading axis-centered oceanic plateau or ridge. The metamorphic assemblages of pumpellyite–actinolite facies bear witness of metamorphism in a frontal accretionary wedge at elevated P and low T conditions, probably related to the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic Chonide event, which has been recognized elsewhere in the Patagonian Andes. Keywords: Metamorphism; Terrane accretion; Pumpellyite–actinolite facies; Seamount subduction; Frontal accretion 1.

  • Lithium Extraction in Argentina: a Case Study on the Social and Environmental Impacts

    Lithium Extraction in Argentina: a Case Study on the Social and Environmental Impacts

    Lithium extraction in Argentina: a case study on the social and environmental impacts Pía Marchegiani, Jasmin Höglund Hellgren and Leandro Gómez. Executive summary The global demand for lithium has grown significantly over recent years and is expected to grow further due to its use in batteries for different products. Lithium is used in smaller electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops but also for larger batteries found in electric vehicles and mobility vehicles. This growing demand has generated a series of policy responses in different countries in the southern cone triangle (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile), which together hold around 80 per cent of the world’s lithium salt brine reserves in their salt flats in the Puna area. Although Argentina has been extracting lithium since 1997, for a long time there was only one lithium-producing project in the country. In recent years, Argentina has experienced increased interest in lithium mining activities. In 2016, it was the most dynamic lithium producing country in the world, increasing production from 11 per cent to 16 per cent of the global market (Telam, 2017). There are now around 46 different projects of lithium extraction at different stages. However, little consideration has been given to the local impacts of lithium extraction considering human rights and the social and environmental sustainability of the projects. With this in mind, the current study seeks to contribute to an increased understanding of the potential and actual impacts of lithium extraction on local communities, providing insights from local perspectives to be considered in the wider discussion of sustainability, green technology and climate change.

Anthropozoologica 42 (2): 155-173. ABSTRACT Archaeofaunal records from the Early Archaic to the Early Formative sites (11000-2400 BP) on the western slope of the Puna de Atacama region (22ºS- 24ºS) were analysed in order to understand the process of camelid domestication. The remains were recovered from rock shelters and open sites reflecting an extended occupational sequence, starting with the first human occupations in the Early Archaic (11000-8000). During the Late Archaic (5000-3800 BP), the mobile hunting/gathering tradition had changed into a cultural system characterised by large campsites, hunting activities being present along with the first evidence of camelid domestication in favourable mid-Holocene sites (Quebrada Tulán and Puripica), which evolved during the Early Formative to complex camelid husbandry-based societies about 3100 BP. Although osteometrical evidence is mainly used, we incorporate pathologies, palaeoenvironmental information, the material culture and the archaeological context. Our intent is to identify the environmental scenario and the importance of environmental variables in desert areas, as well as to understand the emergence of camelid domestication in relation to ANTHROPOZOOLOGICA • 2007 • 42 (2) © Publications Scientifiques du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris.

    Provenance and Tectonic Implications of Orán Group Foreland Basin

    Basin Research (2015) 1–17, doi: 10.1111/bre.12139 Provenance and tectonic implications of Oran Group foreland basin sediments,RıoIruyacanyon,NW Argentina (23° S) William H. Amidon,* Lisa V. Luna,* George B. Fisher,† Douglas W. Burbank,† Andrew R. C. Kylander-Clark† and Ricardo Alonso‡ *Middlebury College Geology Department, Middlebury, VT, USA †Earth Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA ‡Departamento de Geologıa, Universidad Nacional de Salta, Salta, Argentina ABSTRACT Foreland basins are important recorders of tectonic and climatic processes in evolving mountain ranges. The Rıo Iruya canyon of NW Argentina (23° S) exposes ca. 7500 m of Oran Group foreland basin sediments, spanning over 8 Myr of near continuous deposition in the Central Andes. This study presents a record of sedimentary provenance for the Iruya Section in the context of a revised stratigraphic chronology. We use U-Pb zircon ages from six interbedded ash layers and new magnet- ostratigraphy to constrain depositional ages in the section between 1.94 and 6.49 Ma, giving an aver- 1 age sedimentation rate of 0.93 0.02 (2r) km MyrÀ . We then pair U-Pb detrital zircon dating Æ with quartz trace-element analysis to track changes in sedimentary provenance from ca. 7.6 to 1.8 Ma. Results suggest that from ca. 7.6 to ca. 6.3 Ma, the Iruya watershed did not tap the Salta Group or Neogene volcanics that are currently exposed in the eastern Cordillera and Puna margin. One explanation is that a long-lived topographic barrier separated the eastern Puna from the foreland for much of the mid-late Miocene, and that the arrival of Jurassic-Neogene zircons records regional tectonic reactivation at ca.

    GONDWANA 503 i11 du Toit < Gondwana, Samfrau > ... the really important point is not so much to disprove Wegener’s particular views as to decide from the relevant evidence whether or not continental drift is a genuine variety of earth movement. —Holmes, 1944.1 A geologist who looked for geological evidence to test Wegener’s hypothesis of continental drift was Alexander Logie du Toit (1878-1948). As a field geologist for the Geological Survey of South Africa he became familiar with the regional geology of that country. Curious to see firsthand how well, if at all, the geology either side of the Atlantic matched, he applied for and upon receiving a generous grant from the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1923 he spent five months in South America familiarizing himself with the geology of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. His seminal paper, A Geological Comparison of South America with South Africa, was published in 1927. He wrote, “The concordance between the opposed shores, incidentally pointed out and discussed by others long before Wegener, has consistently been extended by each fresh geological observation until at present the amount of agreement is 5 In his book, Our Wandering Continents nothing short of marvellous.” Persuasive of a former (1937)2 is the statement: “from the proximity of the two continents are the discoverable linkages mid-Palaeozoic onwards the lands must have that “cross from coast to coast, not only directly but crept northwards for thousands of kilometers diagonally as well, and are furthermore of widely different to account for their deduced climatic ages.” In the map to illustrate this tectonic and phasal (lateral vicissitudes.

    THE ANDEAN NORTHWEST T E N a L 243 P Y L E N O L

    © Lonely Planet 243 The Andean Northwest In stark contrast with the low, flat, humid northeast, Argentina’s northwest sits lofty, dry and tough beneath the mighty Andes. Nature works its magic here with stone: weird, wonderful and tortured rockscapes are visible throughout, from the imposing formations of the Parque Nacional Talampaya in the far south to the twisted strata of the Quebrada de Cafayate; from the jagged ruggedness of the Valles Calchaquíes to the palette of colors of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. And always to the west is the brooding presence of magnificent peaks. The area has an Andean feel with its traditional handicrafts, Quechua-speaking pockets, coca leaves, llamas, the indigenous heritage of the inhabitants, Inca ruins, and the high, arid puna (Andean highlands) stretching west to Chile and north to Bolivia. The region’s cities were Argentina’s first colonial settlements and have a special appeal. The quiet gentility of Santiago del Estero recalls bygone centuries, Salta’s beauty makes it a favorite stop for travelers, while resolutely urban Tucumán, a sugarcane capital, seems to look firmly to the future. Several popular routes await. From Salta you can take in the cactus sentinels of Parque Nacional Los Cardones on your way to gorgeous Cachi, and then head down through the tradi- tional weaving communities of the Valles Calchaquíes to Cafayate, home of some of Argentina’s best wines. Another route from Salta soars into the mountains to the puna mining settlement of San Antonio de los Cobres, heads north to the spectacular salt plains of the Salinas Grandes, and then down to the visually wondrous and history-filled Quebrada de Humahuaca.

ABSTRACT VLADIMIR WEISSER’S PURE OPINION AND THE ANTOFALLA INDIGENOUS POPULATION IN EARLY COLONIAL TIMES. The aim of this paper is to present evidence of the indigenous occupation of the Antofalla Salt Lake area during the sixteenth and seventieth centuries. The historical context of the occupation is outlined, and ways in which the local population may have operated within that context are explored. The panorama of the indigenous occupation of the area during the early colonial times thus obtained is brought to bear on the repeated silence of archaeology and documentary history on the same issue. Ways of understanding the intellectual context for that silence are suggested. Keywords: Atacama Plateau; Tebenquiche Chico; Colonial archaeology.
