Fenix, Ore Deposit Type

1. The gold mineralization occurs in the upper part of
the Volcano system. Hosted in the diatreme-dome
complex.

2. Associated with Black Banded Veinlets (BBV), which
are filling open spaces.

3. Magnetite associated with the BBV and traces of
sulfides. Is it a hypogene oxidation?

4. Abundant vapor-rich fluid inclusions that occurs at
the boiling level.

5. Weak hydrothermal alteration located very close to
the veinlets, traces of smectite, illite, and chlorite.

6. Low content of Hg, As y Sb.

7. It is a unique deposit in the Maricunga belt.

8. Therefore, regarding the geological evidences, our
proposal is classify the Fenix Gold as Low Sulfidation
Type Deposit.
