Shortly about the geology of the Republic of Colombia
* The geology of Colombia consists of five (5) lithographical provinces.
* Three of theses provinces are of oceanic origin, in the centre and east of
the country, and two of continental origin, in the centre and west of the
country.
* The Pre-Cambrian and Paleozoic metamorphic continental basement have been
host to various intrusive events which have given origin to important vein
and disseminated gold mineralisation.
* Colombia has two prospective geotectonic and metal-genetic environments - el
Guyana Shield and the Andean system - in which exist a high probability of
encountering world class deposits.
* The Andean system (related to the Pacific Rim), extends from Argentina to
Colombia, where it splits into three ranges. The two most important ranges,
metal-gentically, are the Western and Central ranges of the Andes.
