Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper focuses on presentation of the methodology used by geophysicists at the Servicio Geológico Colombiano (SGC) for the processing, anomaly selection and interpretation of airborne magnetometry and gamma spectrometry data. Three (3) selected magnetic anomalies from different geological settings (Andes Cordillera, San Lucas Range and Ama- zon region) are presented as examples. 3D magnetic vector inversion (MVI) modeling of each of the selected magnetic anomalies shows magnetic sources less than 100 m deep or exposed with sizes from 2.5 to 6 km. The magnetic data inter- pretation also allows the identification of linear features that could represent structural control for fluid migration and/ or ore emplacement. Additionally, the integration of the geophysical data with other geoscientific information (geologic, metallogenic and geochemical data) leads to the proposition of an exploration model for each anomaly: intrusion-related/ VMS deposits for the Andes, porphyry/intrusion-related/epithermal deposits for San Lucas and carbonatite/kimberlite for Amazonas.

  • Heavy Metals (Cd, Pb and Ni) in Fish Species Commercially Important from Magdalena River, Tolima Tract, Colombia
    Revista Tumbaga, v.2, n.7, pp. 61- 76 (2012) ISSN en Linea 2216-118x Ciencias-Química Heavy metals (Cd, Pb and Ni) in fish species commercially important from Magdalena river, Tolima tract, Colombia Metales pesados (Cd, Pb y Ni) en especies de peces de importancia comercial del río Magdalena, tramo Tolima, Colombia Diana Alexandra Noreña-Ramirez1*, Elizabeth Murillo-Perea2, José Antonio Guio-Duque3, Jonh Jairo Méndez- Arteaga2 Abstract. Water quality of the Magdalena River, main waterway of Colombia, has been severely damaged by the use of heavy metals from anthropogenic activity. Two commercially important fish Prochilodus magdalenae and Pimelodus blochii, were cap- tured in four of the most important fishing municipalities in Tolima-Colombia, to determine the levels of cadmium, lead (Atomic absorption spectroscopy) and nickel (colorimetric) in the muscle, gill and liver. Pimelodus blochii is the one who bioac- cumulates these chemical pollutants in major quantity, with concentrations of Cad- mium from 0.009 ± 0.001 to 0.340 ± 0.402; lead from 0 to 8.737 ± 1.299 and Nickel from 2.26 ± 1.59 to 31.69 ± 10.26 mg/kg; the port of Flandes stands out as one of the areas of major ecological impact. There was correlation between cadmium concen- trations accumulated and the animal organ which acts as a metal reservoir, showing elevated levels for the liver tissue.

Indigenous struggles are fighting and 'contesting’ modernity. I demonstrate that modernity and globalization, being ongoing processes, have impacted indigenous realities since the XVI century, and that the neo- liberalization of the Colombian economy during the 1990s implied a deeper penetration in indigenous localities. These political transitions, and the Colombian embrace of multiculturalism, have synergistically permeated indigenous social realities.

Speculative Buy ($0.22 TSX-V: AGD) Risk High Price (August 14, 2009) $0.22 52-Week Range $0.265 - $0.025 Intrinsic Value $0.60 - $0.75 Data Source: www.BigCharts.com Target Price (12 Months) $0.65 UPFRONT Investors who purchase shares in junior mining exploration companies, Shares O/S typically those whose shares are trading under 50 cents, acknowledge that any 26.15 million such investment is highly speculative. The investor fervently hopes that the Market Cap miner will be successful with the drill bit and that the share price subsequently $5.75 million reflects that success. Given the risk, the investment reward has to be substantial. Ideally, the investor is looking for a “ten-bagger”, and these do Average Daily Volume occur. A double from 10 cents to 20 cents a share sounds good in terms of 50-day: 74,100 percentage gain, but an investor/speculator wants more than that, preferably 200-day: 39,300 the stock reaching a dollar. Year-End March 31 Antioquia Gold Inc. (“Antioquia” or the “Company”), in our opinion, has a legitimate chance of achieving that sought-after ten-bagger.

  • A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates by Keith R. Long Open-File Report 91-0579 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1991 Preface In recent years, almost all countries in Latin America have adopted democratic political systems and liberal economic policies. The resulting favorable investment climate has spurred a new wave of North American investment in Latin American mineral resources and has improved cooperation between geoscience organizations on both continents. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has responded to the new situation through cooperative mineral resource investigations with a number of countries in Latin America. These activities are now being coordinated by the USGS's Center for Inter-American Mineral Resource Investigations (CIMRI), recently established in Tucson, Arizona. In the course of CIMRI's work, we have found a need for a compilation of Spanish geological and mining terminology that goes beyond the few Spanish-English geological dictionaries available. Even geologists who are fluent in Spanish often encounter local terminology oijerga that is unfamiliar. These terms, which have grown out of five centuries of mining tradition in Latin America, and frequently draw on native languages, usually cannot be found in standard dictionaries. There are, of course, many geological terms which can be recognized even by geologists who speak little or no Spanish.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Centro de Geociencias, Campus Juriquilla, Blvd. Juriquilla No. 3001, 76230, Querétaro, México. [email protected] * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The Antioquia batholith represents the magmatic record of the interaction between the Farallón and Caribbean plates with the NW part of the South American Plate during the Meso-Cenozoic. Several authors have reported zircon U-Pb ages and whole rock geochemistry in order to constrain the crystallization history of this batholith and its formation conditions. The present work aims to gather the existing data with new data obtained from the Ovejas batholith and La Unión stock, both genetically related to the main intrusion. Gathering our new data with information obtained in previous works, we conclude that the Antioquia batholith was constructed by successive pulses from ca. 97 to 58 Ma in an arc-related setting. The initial pulses are related to syn-collisional tectonics, during the early interaction between the Farallón plate and NW South America.
