Resumen

FLOREZ-VARGAS, Anderson Oswaldo; SANCHEZ-MOLINA, Jorge  y  BLANCO-MENESES, Duvin S.. Clays From Geological Formations of a Metropolitan Area, Its Use in the Ceramic Industry and Impact on the Regional Economy. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.30, pp.133-150. ISSN 1794-1237.  https://doi.org/10.24050/reia.v15i30.1219.

The present study made a synthesis of the ceramic industry situation in the metropolitan area of Cúcuta based on the state of the art provided mainly by public institutions; a description of the clay deposits that are found in the León and Guayabo geological formations is presented. Clays from these formations exhibits outstanding technological charac-teristics, therefore, considerable participation of mining operations are developed within this territory. A count of the mining titles was carried out in the 2017 cadastre database, where it was found that Cúcuta is the municipality with the greatest extractive activity, with abundant reserves as can be seen in the geological information maps of the SGC (Colom-bian Geological Service). On the other hand, Puerto Santander is the municipality in which there is no mining activity of clay or related manufactures. The industry developed from this raw material has allowed economic growth in the region, a situation that is reflected in 1,737 workers, 23 establishments created and a gross production of more than 344 billion of Colombian pesos in 2015, being the main industrial group of the metropolitan area.
