- W4221082214 abstract "The El Peñón low-sulfidation epithermal deposit, located in the Paleocene metallogenic belt in the Antofagasta region, northern Chile, consists of Au-Ag bearing veins and hydrothermal breccias hosted in volcanic rocks and surrounded by alteration haloes consisting of a series of minerals, such as adularia, carbonates and clay minerals. They are the result of metasomatism generated by the passage of reduced, and near neutral pH, hydrothermal fluids, that transported gold through structures and its interaction with the host rock. We investigated the spatial distribution of these minerals (mainly adularia) in the Aleste vein and its host rock, located in the northern part of the district, to establish their relationship with the Au-Ag ore and, thus, support the identification of new exploration targets. An X-ray diffraction technique to discriminate adularia from other K-feldspars in whole rock samples was developed by the detail study of the diffractogram patterns of an adularia standard. The study of an X-ray diffraction standard pattern allowed the recognition of this mineral by 4 secondary peaks. Our results indicated that adularia occurs in association with felsic volcanic rocks, and it is restricted in intermediate composition units. The spatial distribution of this mineral is correlated with the mineralized zones, being adularia semi-quantitative abundance in the range of 25 to 40% a good indicator of gold mineralization. Sericite and illite occur mainly where adularia is scarce or absent. The spatial distribution of these minerals showed the structural control in the evolution and flow path of the hydrothermal fluids toward the surface. Kaolinite is related to argillic alteration caused by steam-heated fluids, and the advanced argillic alteration associated with later supergene alteration. Chlorite usually is far from the mineralized areas; therefore, it could be a reliable indicator of the margins of the system. The characterization and spatial distribution pattern of the alteration minerals identified by the X-ray diffraction method in the veins of El Peñón deposit show the capability of this type of analyses in determining possible prospection targets." @default.
