Geochemical Database
Project foundation
This product will put at the disposal of the public an expert interpretation of the multi-element geochemical information of the Copiapó sheet. This information is relevant for the following aspects:
- To evaluate the environmental quality of the Copiapó sheet, to determine potential contamination sources, and to design monitoring plans;
- To evaluate the presence of new prospective zones in the Copiapó sheet and along the metallogenic belts from the North of Chile.
