 CRETACEOUS PORPHYRY BELT
(PUQUIO AND ZAFRANAL SUB-
BELTS)

The Puquio sub-belt has small porphyry

systems.

This sub-belt shows eroded systems,

exhibiting potassic alteration with low
grade hypogene copper mineralization
(< 0.3 % Cu).

The Zafranal sub-belt is more important

with more and larger identified porphyry
systems.

These systems show large alteration

footprints associated with phyllic
alteration and has potential for
supergene copper enrichment.
