A new metallogenical association (Sn-Cd-In-Zn-Ag-Au) in the Deseado auroargentiferous province, Deseado Massif, Patagonia, Argentina

A new metallogenical association (Sn-Cd-In-Zn-Ag-Au) is reported for the low sulphidation epithermal Deseado Auroargentiferous Province, in Patagonia, Argentina. The anomalous presence of Sn, Cd and In, together with anomalies of Zn and Ag, and also high contents of Cu, Mn, Pb, W and Bi in a complex...

Descripción
Sumario:A new metallogenical association (Sn-Cd-In-Zn-Ag-Au) is reported for the low sulphidation epithermal Deseado Auroargentiferous Province, in Patagonia, Argentina. The anomalous presence of Sn, Cd and In, together with anomalies of Zn and Ag, and also high contents of Cu, Mn, Pb, W and Bi in a complex sulphur-rich mineralogy, represent a new metallogenical association. This assemblage could be related to a higher temperature mineralization or a different type into the epithermal range. The presence of this new metallogenical association increases the mining potential of the region, extending exploration targets in this metallogenical province and must be considered during future exploration duties in the region.
