Abstract

A study of the potential of magnesium in ultrassic rocks was carried out to define the areas with greater prospects for the exploitation of magnesium. Based on the preparation of maps of Mg iso_contenidos, profiles of the horizons of the crust in individual wells and graphs of variation of concentration of elements in depth. The most important concentrations of magnesium are located in the southern sector of Moa, with values of 35% as maximum value, this being the most prospective sector as a source of magnesium. The results can be used to continue to deepen the search for this element and in a way reduce the search to the areas where this type of lithological rocks are found.
