dc.description.abstractABSTRACT: The National Geology Plan of Angola (PLANAGEO) has been one of the most important Angolan infrastructure projects throughout the past twenty years. The objectives of PLANAGEO were: (a) to enhance Angola's geological and mineral resources knowledge; (b) to foster diversification of the national economy; and, (c) to attract foreign investment and promote the country development. The project integrated regional interdisciplinary geological surveys, including geological/aerogeophysical/geochemical mapping, raw materials and mineral resources prospecting, as well as specific studies in target areas. The project was launched by the Angolan government (Presidential Resolution 52/09), and implemented by the Geological Survey of Angola (IGEO), under the oversight of the Angolan Ministry of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas (MIREMPET). In 2011, UTE consortium, a joint venture of IGME, the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology of Portugal (LNEG) and the Spanish company Impulso Industrial Alternativo (IIA) bid the call for tenders. In 2013 IGEO awarded UTE a contract to undertake PLANAGEO´s activities in the southwestern region of Angola, covering roughly 480.000 km2. From July of 2014 to the end of 2022, the UTE consortium conducted interdisciplinary studies and investigations that resulted in a comprehensive collection of maps and scientific reports and documents, comprising: Airborne geophysical mag/rad mapping. Geological mapping at 1:250.000 scale (and 1:500.000 and 1:1.000.000 synthesis). Geological mapping at 1:100.000 scale in selected areas. Geochemical mapping at 1:250.000 scale. Raw materials and Mineral resources mapping in target areas, at 1:50.000 scale.eng
