Deposit EL YACIMIENTO PRESENTA ALTERACION HIDROTERMAL DEL TIPO MESOTERMAL Y PREDOMINANTEMENTE EPITERMAL.
Deposit DESDE EL PUNTO DE VISTA LOCAL, LA ZONA MINERA DE TINQUICORRAL ESTA CONSTITUIDA POR ROCAS VOLCANICAS DEL TERCIARIO SUPERIOR, PERTENECIENTES AL COMPLEJO "TINQUI" EL MISMO QUE SE ASUME, SE CORRELACIONA CON LOS VOLCANICOS CASAPALCA. SE HAN DISTINGUIDO DOS UNIDADES, UNA INFERIOR QUE OCUPA LAS PARTES BAJAS ALCANZANDO UN ESPESOR DE MAS DE 500 M Y SE CARACTERIZA POR PRESENTAR POTENTES BANCOS DE ANDESITA DE COLOR GRIS OSCURO,QUE VARIA A NEGRO; SE EXTIENDE DESDE EL SUR Y OESTE DEL AREA, HACIA EL ESTE, AL QUE SE SUPERPONE DISCORDANTEMENTE LA UNIDAD SUPERIOR QUE SE CARACTERIZA POR PRESENTAR ROCAS PIROCLASTICAS DE COLORES MAS CLAROS (GRIS VIOLACEOS), EVIDENCIANDOSE CONGLOMERADOS Y BRECHAS, QUE ALCANZAN MAS DE 250 M DE ESPESOR. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
