Cachapoal concession

  • Located in the Cachapoal province, O'Higgins region, central Chile
  • Hot-springs found with temperatures ranging from up to 67°C
  • Geothermal exploration activities in the early 2010's include geochemical- and geophysical (MT, TDEM) surveys leading to the identification of a significant inferred geothermal resource

Exploration activities

The surface exploration activities by Transmark Chile are co-financed by the Federal Republic of Germany through KfW and with funding by the European Union through the Geothermal Development Facility for Latin America.

Currently, early stage surface studies are initiated to explore for geothermal resources in the concession area surrounding the geothermal surface manifestations and specifically between the known hot springs. If the right conditions are found to be present, this might lead to development of a geothermal power plant.

Las actividades de exploración de superficie de Transmark Chile son cofinanciadas por la República Federal de Alemania mediante el KfW y con fundos de la Unión Europea mediante programma GDF:vGeothermal Development Facility for Latin America.

Actualmente, se han iniciado estudios de superficie en etapa inicial para explorar recursos geotérmicos en el área de concesión que rodea las manifestaciones de superficie geotérmica y específicamente entre las fuentes termales conocidas. Si se dan las condiciones adecuadas, esto podría conducir al desarrollo de una planta de energía geotérmica.
