TRANSCRIPT
Valle del Cura (San Juan) Project
• The geothermal fields (29° 35 'latitude south and 69°
45' west longitude) are located in the Northwest high
cordillera (aprox. 3.800 m.a.s.l.) Central Andes of
San Juan province, Argentina, 10 to 20 km away
from the Argentina-Chile border. The location is
known locally as “Valle del Cura”.
• The landscape is dominated for an elevated flat area
elongated N-S bordered to East and West by
mountain chains.
• The red dot shows the area of mining rights of
Geotermia Andina.
• The following page include a detailed graph of the
region.
Location
• In 1914, De Thierry briefly discovered the abundance
of hot-springs spots in Valle del Cura area.
• From 1982 to 1985 many consulting firms performed
grass-roots exploration in the area (Geomines SA,
Hydroproyectos SA, etc) and describe the interesting
geothermal features, suggesting continuing with the
exploration to define the capability of electric power
generation.
• From 1985 to date no serious researching has been
done related to geothermic in the area, mainly
because of the lack of market for a possible electrical
generation capacity.

• The properties consist on five mining concessions
with a total amount of 21.000 hectares covering 95%
of the geothermal fields in the region.

Tuzgle – Tocomar (Salta-Jujuy) Project
Location
• The geothermal field Tuzgle-Tocomar (23° 55 'latitude south
and 66° 05' west longitude), is located in the central plateau of
La Puna, elevated over 4000 m.a.s.l. within the border of
Salta-Jujuy provinces in Argentina.
• Research is currently going through the final stage of pre-
feasibility, which has been studied in detail an area of
approximately 900 square kilometers.
• It is the most studied geothermal field in the Northwest of
Argentina. Between 1978 and 1995 there was a sequence of
studies that spanned from grass-roots until the delimitation of
an area where deep exploratory wells should be executed.
• The red dot shows the area of mining rights of Geotermia
Andina.

• The property consists of six
mining concessions which
include an aggregate total of
25,416 hectares covering
almost 60% of the geothermal
fields.
• The figure shows the location
of the mining rights.

Anetta (Salta) Project
The project is located close to
Rosario de la Frontera City, 170 km
south from Salta’s capital province,
Argentina.
The landscape is dominated by
flat areas and mountain ridges
elongated North-South.
Land is used for cattle, soy beam-
sunflower-tobacco and sugar cane
crops. Together, there are many
industries for processing those
commodities.
