FIELD TRIPS (dates, area visited, field trip leaders, numbers of participants, sponsors, benefits for students) 2 nd to 9 th April, 2017: I FIELD TRIP SEG UNMSM SEG UNAL SEG UCE, ECUADOR 2017
Summary: In this field trip we participate student members of the SEG UNMSM Perú, SEG UNAL Colombia and SEG UCE Ecuador. We visited the strategic mining projects of Ecuador like: FRUTA DEL NORTE (low-intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposit) and MIRADOR (porphyry Cu-Mo deposit) in the Zamora province, EL DOMO (volcanic massive sulphide deposit) in the Bolívar province, LOMA LARGA (high sulfidation epithermal deposit) in the Azuay province and the mining district ZARUMA- PORTOVELO, which consists of a system of polymetallic hydrothermal veins. Field Trip Leaders: Msc. Marcelo Llerena, Msc. William Arteaga and Msc. Israel Sangay and Evelyn Caiza (President SEG Student Chapter UCE-FIGEMPA) Numbers of participants: SEG-UNMSM Student Members (7 participants), SEG-UNAL Student Members (6 participant) and SEG-UCE Student Members (10 participants) Benefits for students: know the type of deposit, the methods of exploration used, future plans of the deposit, characteristics of the surrounding geological terrain and social aspects. In addition, drill core observation and logging was carried out. Fig. 3 Visit to the mining project EL DOMO

23th to 29 th July, 2017: II FIELD TRIP SEG UNAL SEG UCE-FIGEMPA, COLOMBIA 2017 Summary: In this field trip we participate student members of the SEG UNAL Colombia and SEG UCE Ecuador. We visited projects located in the Northern Andes of Colombia. These deposits are part of the Middle Cauca Belt related to magmatism during the Miocene, like: GRAMALOTE (IRGS Intrusion related gold system deposit), NUEVO CHAQUIRO (porphyry Au-Cu deposit), EL ROBLE (volcanic massive sulphide deposit), BURITICA (intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposit) in the Medellín department, we also visited the MINERALOGY LABORATORY of UNAL sede Medellín. Field Trip Leaders: Luis Felipe Mahecha (President SEG Student Chapter UNAL-Bogotá) Numbers of participants: SEG-UCE Student Members (7 participants) Benefits for students: Visit the mine, observe drill core, and learn to recognize altering minerals and its relation with geological characteristics of the deposit.

to clearly define zones of alteration according to mineralogical assemblies. We also visited the high-sulfidation epithermal deposit LOMA LARGA. The organization of the course was carried out by GEOMINESUR Cia. Ltda. Number of participants: SEG-UCE Student Members (3 participants) Fig. 16 Short course of applications of geochemistry to mining exploration by William Chávez 7.
