Análisis de las estructuras tectónicas en drills orientados en la compañía SolGold (Imbabura)

Abstract

Abstract: This research project was carried out at the Alpala deposit belonging to the concession Cascabel located between the Parishes of Lita and Carolina, in the province of Imbabura, in the northern Ecuador approximately 100 kilometers north of Quito, about 50 kilometers northeast of the city of Ibarra. This study presents an analysis of the structures tectonics that are in the oriented cores of the two drilling wells. First It is called GHD-20-017 which is in the UTM coordinates (797525.923: 83094.735) at a height of 1734,464 meters and the second well called GHD-19-108-D1 with UTM coordinates (797525.622: 83093.675) at a height of 1734.254 meters, both wells They belong to the Alpala deposit. The present study is based on measuring microstructures with the methodology of the alpha (α) and beta (β) angles of (Goodman, 1976) and (Marjoribanks, 2010), These data were corrected in the Dips software, then the tectonic models were obtained structural analyzes using two software (Stereonet and FaultKin) with the aim of understanding the trends of the failures associated with the veinlets and joints by applying the efforts and with This allows them to be correlated in relation to the surface. Most of the failures according to the structural analysis are strike and reverse type with preferential trends of NW-SE and NESW, to this is added the classification of the veinlets and joints that form parallel to the major stress and perpendicular to the minor stress specifically associated with the faults.
