RECONNAISSANCE FOR URANIUM IN THE IQUIQUE AREA, PROVINCE OF TARAPACA, CHILE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4810372
The Iquique area of northern Chile was investigated for uranium in 1958 by personnel of the Instituto de Investigaciones Geologicas de Chile and the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. The bedrocks are Jurassic marine and continental sedimentary rocks and interstratified andesitic volcanics intruded by the Andean diorite complex. The rocks are cut by major north-trending faults as well as by east-trending faults, andesite dikes, and veins. The radioactivity of all rock units was low, with the highest reading associated with a cupiferous manto in limestone. Additional exploration in the Iquique area probably is not warranted. (auth)
