Cerro Tuzgle Geothermal Prospect, Jujuy, Argentina

Abstract

Tuzgle prospect is located on the east central Puna plateau, Argentina, -275 east of the main of the central volcanic zone. The potential to by the Tuzgle center to mafic andesites), the result of complex mixing in the mantle and km), 0.5 Ma and Recent. Heat anomalies are exposed at the as hot Springs with temperatures of Geochemical water studies indicate reservoir temperatures of (according to MT gave two conductive layers: (superficial reservoir) between 100 and 200 m Upper ignimbrites) and at 2 depth could represent a deep reservoir. A magmatic body may also be by MT and Gravity studies, beneath the Tuzgle volcano at 5-11 depth Based on the a -28 in the SW-W margin of Tuzgle volcano has been selected to a future deep drilling exploration plan.
