The Igor property encompasses three exploration targets: Portachuelos, Domo, and Tesoros.
Field evidence suggests that the Igor project mineralization belongs to the epithermal type of gold-silver deposit.
The setting, alteration, and mineralization characteristics of the Callanquitas deposit are consistent with an intermediate to high-sulfidation epithermal system (Hedenquist et al., 2000). The deposit lacks the characteristic enargite, vuggy residual quartz, and alunite of the high-sulfidation systems and does not have the adularia diagnostic of the low-sulfidation systems.
The Igor project mineralization occurs within mineralized structural breccias that originally contained variable quantities of pyrite, arsenopyrite, and minor chalcopyrite. These sulfide minerals were subsequently strongly oxidized to significant depths.
Mineralization
Igor project mineralization occurs within four primary target areas: Callanquitas, Domo, Tesoros, and Portachuelos. Mineralization within the property often occurs at the transition zone from Chimú up into the Santa and Carhuaz rocks. There is a spatial association of dacite porphyry dikes emplaced within structural breccias with both structural and manto-style mineralization.
Callanquitas Veins
The Callanquitas veins (Callanquitas Este, Callanquitas Oeste and Cianuro) occur within a north-south striking zone of multiple, anastomosing to divergent faults that extend over a le ........
