Summary:

From a metallogenetic standpoint, mineralisation in the Quinchía district is genetically linked to the emplacement of a cluster of Miocene-aged hypabyssal porphyry bodies. A variety of magmatichydrothermal Au (Cu) and Au-Ag (Pb, Zn, Cu) deposit types are associated with the geochemical and cooling history of the porphyry bodies.
