en.Wedoany.com Reported - Peru's Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute (Ingemmet) has updated its virtual catalog of rocks and minerals from Peruvian deposits, adding information on the Cañariaco, Cerro Corona, Cerro Verde, Minas Conga, Tintaya, Tucari, and Yanacocha deposits, while supplementing data on the existing Arasi, Arcata, La Arena, La Virgen, Lagunas Norte, and Pierina deposits.

The deposits covered by these updates are located in the regions of Ancash, Arequipa, Cajamarca, Cusco, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Moquegua, and Puno.

The catalog adds petrographic descriptions for 82 new samples, sourced from the Ingemmet core library, accompanied by 351 microphotographs, and provides information on geology, alteration, metallogenic controls, paragenetic sequences, and mineral production.

The described samples exhibit characteristics of porphyry, skarn, and high-sulfidation epithermal deposits, which yield copper, gold, and silver.

This information constitutes a tool of high technical and scientific value, aiding in the identification of key features of these deposit types, thereby optimizing mineral exploration activities.

Interested users may coordinate with the Directorate of Mineral and Energy Resources in advance to obtain physical samples.
