Zusammenfassung

Bentonitas are one of the non-metallic mineral resources more abundant in Grau Region (Peru). The physico-chemical and mineralogical characteristics of ore from fíve deposits in the Amotape Zone are systematically evaluated in the present paper. Ore reserve are estimated in 1.7 millón tonnes. By chemical and mineralogical analyses the bentonites can be assimulaated to Wyoming type. Possible apptications for these bentonites may be the preparation of drilling muds, foundry sands and iron ore pelletising
