Petrotectonic evolution of the Cerro Aspero mining district and emplacement model of the wolframiferous deposits, Córdoba
Metalliferous mineralization, disseminated and in hydraulic breccias, in connection with a mining group composed of three swarm systems of quartz veinlets, veins and sills striking NNW, WNW and N, is exposed in the geological setting related to the Cerro Aspero granitic intrusion located in the east...

Metalliferous mineralization, disseminated and in hydraulic breccias, in connection with a mining group composed of three swarm systems of quartz veinlets, veins and sills striking NNW, WNW and N, is exposed in the geological setting related to the Cerro Aspero granitic intrusion located in the eastern part of the Sierra de Comechingones.
