In order to enhance the geoscientific collaboration between China and Peru using China’s advanced geochemical investigation and research methods, the China Geological Survey (CGS) and Peru, Instituto Geológico, Minero y Metalúrgico (INGEMMET) jointly conducted a multipurpose geochemical survey in the Mantaro Basin of central Peru. The samples were collected and analyzed in Chinese laboratory according to applicable Chinese national standards. According to the results, the soil of the study area was in general weakly alkaline, with strong enrichment of Au and relatively enriched indicators such as I, C, Corg, Cd, and N. The soil nutrient indicators N and P were relatively abundant, but K was lacking. The comprehensive nutrient grade was mainly “relatively rich” (Grade 2), accounting for 74.1% of the total area, indicating good soil fertility. In terms of soil environmental assessm...
