Abstract
In the analysis of Geological Investigations, the methodological and technical - economic aspects of greater relevance that influence the efficiency of geological investments are evaluated. As a reference, 6 objectives are included in the exploration sub phase for primary and oxidized ores, located in different Geotectonic Environments. Quantitative analysis of the investment for sampling with trenches in oxidized zones, in primary ores for well - gallery and underground exploration - combined and the relationship with the resources to obtain, as well as the influence in laboratories and drilling. It is concluded that the definition of the feasibility of the projects will continue to be much compromised until the insufficiencies of the analytical base and the accreditation of the laboratories are solved. Estimating the efficiency of investments in geological investigations will allow decision makers to assess strengths and weaknesses. The results show that the geological research cycle is long and expensive, constituting the costs for sampling and technological Investigations of 14 - 25% of the total investment in exploration without a relationship with the resources to be obtained.
