Curiplaya Project
Deposit Type
The Lithologies of the La Sierra region extend into Peru and Chile to the south and Colombia to the north. In these countries, there are a significant number of Mesozoic porphyry copper and porphyry-related copper deposits similar to that which is believed to exist at Curiplaya. Mineralization within the Curiplaya Project is characterized by quartz diorite (alkalic) porphyry related copper-gold mineralization. Skarn and epithermal styles of mineralization have been reported to exist (Pratt and Allen, 2001) but have not been observed on the property by subsequent workers.
