Estoy traduciendo esto para un reporte de minería pero no sé como traducir el término cateo.
Se solicitan 131.000 has de cateos en Neuquén, colindantes al área licitada .
2006 -2007
Se tramitan esas áreas de cateos, hasta obtener la concesión. Se efectúan vinculaciones con dueños de campos y empresas petroleras.
Se inició plan de exploración de los cateos concedidos en Neuquén con un plazo de 30 meses (por fechas de vencimientos de cateos).

soil testing/sampling
As I understand it, part of the "exploration plan" (pax Andrew) would consist of testing/sampling the soil (suelo), whether it is for agricultural, mining or oil/gas drilling purposes.

@phil My take is that "cateo" is a noun form related to "catar",i.e. to test/try/sample/taste.
The DRAE definition (Acción y efecto de catear (‖ buscar una veta minera) seems to correspond to "prospect/ing":
Prospect
verb [ I ] -> to search for gold, oil, or other valuable substances on or under the surface of the earth.
Nevertheless, I stand by my suggestion, it in other words, that it refers to soil testing/sampling and the relevant sites/ permits.
I suppose if we wanted to use 'prospect' we could say something like 'prospecting /prospection sites/permits."

Example sentence:
Soil sampling is crucial to the mineral exploration process...

: I thought this at first, but now I'm not sure. It says 'cateos concedidos', and you can't really grant a test or sample. Also, 'suelo' isn't mentioned anywhere. Could it be an exploration permit?

OK, but the authorities can grant permits/icences (etc) for testing/sampling/erxploration...

Andrew Bramhall
: It probably goes beyond mere soil sampling; i.e, involving rock studies, substrata, underground gases, etc.

Ground exploration plan
A 30-month ground exploration plan was initiated for the exploration areas granted in Neuquén (due to the expiry dates of the exploration concessions).

If something takes place over a 2.5 year time frame, one would imagine there had to be some sort of plan, rather than merely a random series of actions.Common sense tells you this.

Reference:
I’m not in front of my computer so I can’t research the answer properly but I think it could have something to do with prospection.

Sorry, the term is prospecting, not prospection!
Prospecting is the first stage of the geological analysis (followed by exploration) of a territory. It is the search for minerals, fossils, precious metals, or mineral specimens. It is also known as fossicking.

I would use (ground) prospecting/exploration site.

BTW, just for fun, the capital city of the province, also named Neuquén, is said to be the only Argentine city with a a palindrome name.
