Stratabound Polymetallic Ore Deposits of the Santa Metallotect in the Huanzalá and Pachapaqui Mining Areas in Central Peru

  • 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

The Huanzalá mine is located on the southeast flank of the Huayhuash Cordillera, about 80 km SE of the town of Huaraz (Fig. 1). This mine is one of the most important Zn producers of Peru (with minor contents of Pb, Ag, and Cu).
