Abstract

The background information on geological investigations for gold in each Economic-Social Formation provides an overview of its development and evolution over time. The analysis of the information is carried out as a first approach to the most relevant aspects taking into account the international circumstances in the context of its development. This work is based on archival materials related to geological and mining studies carried out by different authors and entities, mainly those with a higher level of research, which are shown as standard deposits. With special interest are highlighted the achievements and difficulties obtained by the so-c alled basic stages suc h as: The mining preserves, The Economic Mutual Aid Council, Foreign investment, The Cuba-Venezuela Collaboration Agreement, The gold development program- National Program for the Development of Geological Activity, the latter of great importance since it assumes, with the state budget, gold prospectingas a challenge for the economic development of the country and for the role achieved in this endeavor by the National Geological Service, the universities, research institutes and the territorial companies of the Geominsal Group. In the different Economic-Social Formations and their basic stages, geologic al research was developed, differentiated in geological knowledge, these currently face challenges common to the whole world as the need for foreign investment and the prospects for discovering new sources of gold.
