Regarding geological survey

Regarding geological survey Regarding geological survey Geological fieldworks observations and tectonic measurements are strenghtened by

- 120 ages by zircon mineral analysis - 15 ages by K/Ar method- 500 whole rocks chemical analysis - 1,300 whole rocks analysis for multi – elements assay- 2,500 new thin sections added to thin sections

generated by former programs also studied- 500 mineral microprobe analysis - 28.000 stream sediments and panned heavy minerals

The legend of the renewed geological map is better shaped than former
