The Macusani West project is an early stage exploration project, staked in 2006 by Solex. The area is geologically similar to the Macusani East project.
Size/Location: The Macusani West project covers 51,200 hectares. The concessions are situated within the Province of Carabay, Department of Puno, southeastern Peru, and lies within the relatively flat Altiplano of the Eastern Cordillera. Access is by paved road along the highway to Cuzco (approximately 65 km from Juliaca), and then by all-season gravel road to the town of Macusani (approximately 135 km). The climate in the region is semi-arid.
History: Solex staked the Macusani West project after Dr. Alan Clark, professor emeritus of Queen's University who has studied the Macusani region for the last three decades, noted that there were pronounced geological similarities between the claims seen on Macusani West and those that were previously explored on the Macusani East claims. Solex is the first company to explore the property.
Geology/Mineralization: The Macusani West project is situated along the western flank of the Eastern Cordillera. The area contains a number of northwest trending depressions, interpreted to be due to tectonism, which are filled by ignimbrites and other pyroclastic rocks of the Pliocene Quenamari Formation. Uranium mineralization consists primarily of secondary yellow to greenish yellow uranium minerals, such as coffinite, autunite, tyuyamunite and carnotite.
Exploration: Since September 2007, a total of 22,700 hectares have been surveyed and over 461 rock samples have been collected for laboratory analysis. Results from rock chip analysis have identified at least 11 new anomalies in the previously unexplored Macusani West project. Solex will focus exploration efforts on the extensive Yapamayo and Sapanuta structures that occur in the project area, including the Chahuaña target which hosts the Sapanuta structure.
