| Deposit | YACIMIENTO METASOMATICO DE CONTACTO PRODUCIDO POR UNA INTRUSION DE SECCION HORIZONTAL ELIPTICA DE DIORITA CUARCIFERA EN SEDIMENTOS CALCAREOS. ESTA INTRUSION TIENE UNA FORMA SEMEJANTE A UN CILINDRO O "PIPE", CASI VERTICAL. EN EL CONTACTO SE HAN FORMADO CUERPOS DE SKARN (PRINCIPALMANTE GRANATES Y MAGNETITA) QUE RODEAN LA PERIFERIA DE LA INTRUSION. LA PERIFERIA DE LA INTRUSION MIDE EN SUPERFICIE 2500 M. Y LA SUMA DE LOS CUERPOS DE SKARN MIDE 1600 M. TRANSVERSALMENTE EL SKARN ESTA FORMADO POR: UNA FRANJA DE GRANATES ESTERILES JUNTO AL INTRUSIVO, LUEGO VIENE UNA FRANJA DE GRANATES CON MINERALIZACION IRREGULAR, Y POR ULTIMO UNA FRANJA DE OXIDOS DE HIERRO ADYACENTE A LAS CALIZAS. LA FRANJA DE GRANATES MINERALIZADA TIENE UNA POTENCIA DE 2 A 20 M., ZONA CON LEYES ALTAS DE 4%CU. A 6%CU, ALTERNANDOSE CON ZONAS DE BAJA LEY 0.5%CU. A 0.8%CU. |
