The carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb san gregorio deposit, colquijirca district, central peru, as part of a high sulfidation epithermal system

摘要

The recently discovered world class San Gregorio Zn-Pb deposit in Central Peru, has formed by high level carbonate replacement through very acid fluids coming from a high sulfidation system related to a Tertiary volcanic neck, which produces also Au-Ag, Cu-Au and Zn-Pb-Ag ores in other parts of the same district. To our knowledge San Gregorio is the first "carbonate-hosted epithermal Zn-Pb high sulfidation deposit" recognized as such.
