EPITHERMAL LOW
SULPHIDATION

EPITHERMAL LOW SULPHIDATION

they are formed through volcanic and plutonicos arches (also in arches of Islands and continental)
associated with subduction zones. The epithermal deposits usually occur in basins of crustal,
within the zone of active volcanism.

FORMATION
Are formed by the mixture wter-rains,
that have percolate the suburfasce and
waters magmatic climbing to the surface-.
Precipitation occurs when the fluid boils
to approaching to the surface

ALTERATION MINERALOGY:

alteration argillic intermediate is way

adjacent to some streaks; advanced
argillic can form on the part of the
roof of the mineralized zones.
Propylitic alteration dominates in
depth and in the periphery of the
veins, which may be extensive.

HOST ROCK TYPES / ASSOCIATES

Volcanic rocks of different kinds, predominantly those of type calcoalcalino. Rocks
that are favorable to contain deposits of this type are the andesites, dacitas,
riodacitas, rhyolites and associated sedimentary rocks.

Conclusin

Invicta is a copper-gold deposit epithermal low sulphidation in volcanic

environment.
It is a type epithermal deposit of acid - sulfate, disseminated gold
mineralization.
The high gold values, is in the area of advanced argillic alteration
associated with the bodies of silica and iron oxides.
High gold grades are associated with high grade As
