Stratabound Ore Deposits in the Andes: A Review and a Classification According to Their Geotectonic Setting

  • Chapter
Stratabound Ore Deposits in the Andes

Part of the book series: Special Publication No. 8 of the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits ((MINERAL DEPOS.,volume 8))

Abstract

Systematic investigations of stratabound ore deposits in the Andes are relatively modern. Perhaps as a result of the very intensive Andean magmatic activity, it was not easy to break with the concept that most ore deposits are veins and replacement bodies related to late magmatic hydrothermal activity of some known or unknown intrusion. The role of the stratabound ore deposits was underestimated. As a consequence, research on stratabound ore deposits was traditionally retarded with respect to other groups of ore deposits in the Andes, such as porphyry copper or hydrothermal vein deposits. Among the first works emphasizing the role of stratabound ore deposits in the Andes are those by Amstutz (1959, 1961), Entwistle and Gouin (1955), Kobe (1960), Ljunggren and Meyer (1964), and Ruiz et al. (1971).
