The executive president of the Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute (Ingemmet), Susana Vilca Achata, spoke about Peru's geological potential during the world's largest mining convention, PDAC 2021, where she presented six ANAP'S (Areas of Non-Admission of Petitions) in her conference "Ingemmet promotes exploration for world investors".

The head of Ingemmet presented six ANAP'S (Areas of No Admission of Petitions) that have a high probability of existence of deposits related to copper (Cu), gold (Au), zinc (Zn), silver (Ag), among others.

These are the prospects Antabamba Bloque 3 with copper-gold porphyry; Huisani with copper-molybdenum-zinc porphyry-skarn; and Antabamba Bloque 2 with copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry, Mesothermal copper-gold-silver veins. These 3 prospects are located in the Apurimac region.

She also mentioned the prospects Cháparra Bloque 4 (Arequipa) with porphyry copper; Zona 2 (Lima) with zinc-copper VMS; and Pampa Grande in La Libertad with epithermal HS gold, porphyry copper.

She also highlighted the upcoming development and implementation of the online mining claim application form, through which mining claim requests can be submitted online, bringing Ingemmet closer to mining users all around the world and establishing a real time connection with the Mining Cadastre System, among other features.

Engineer Susana Vilca also stated that 840 maps of the National Geological Map at a scale of 1:50,000 were integrated into a geodatabase, divided into 3 WGS zones: 17S, 18S and 19S.

"Digital geological maps and the database allow users to make queries more quickly and efficiently; in addition to autonomously create maps based on their needs", revealed Susana Vilca.

She also presented studies related to mining explorations which database can be obtained through the Geological and Mining Cadastral Information System - Geocatmin, Ingemmet's digital platform that has over 200 layers of information.

On the other hand, the institution specified that, in the world mining convention PDAC 2021, which takes place from March 8 to 11, they are fulfilling the role of promoter of the Peruvian government, in order to disseminate the potential of geological resources and the ordinary mining procedure in strategic spaces to materialize the national objectives regarding economy, competitiveness, employment, among others.
