Estimación de los recursos geológicos del manto de carbón #50 de la Fm Los Cuervos en la mina Las Delicias, ubicada en el municipio de Santiago, Norte de Santander perteneciente a la empresa Carboexco mediante la metodología de Ecocarbón y el ECRR CRIRSCO para la generación de un mapa de recursos geológico.

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to estimate the resources of coal seam #50 of Los Cuervos Formation of Las Delicias mine, located in the municipality of Santiago, Norte de Santander, belonging to CARBOEXCO company. The activity was carried out to know the amount of exploitable resources in the mining project, as well as to obtain updated information on the local geology of the property. For the success of this project, a succession of phases was carried out in which the field phase consisted of obtaining relevant lithological and structural data from the 41 field stations and the office phase based on the elaboration of five maps and the estimation of the resources based on the ECOCARBON methodology for coal seams with inclination and the Colombian Standard for the public reporting of exploration results, resources and mineral reserves (ECRR). As main results we found the local geological map of Las Delicias mine, the geological resource map of coal seam #50 and its corresponding estimation. Observing three geological formations outcropping in the area, such as Los Cuervos Fm, Barco Fm and Mirador Fm, estimating a total amount of resources close to 1,386,059 for coal seam #50 (Manto Pequeño).
