Características petrográficas y de alteración hidrotermal en litotipos asociados a sistemas epitermales de baja sulfuración, estudio caso mina la Reliquia (Antioquia - Colombia)

Abstract

The porphyrite systems are in relation to what are the continental arcs and are located at what they are between 2 and 5 km deep. Low, intermediate, and high sulphidation epithermal deposits are associated with hydrothermal magmatic environments. Being in contact with meteoric water near the surface forms what these types of deposits are. The hydrothermal alterations in the study area are related to the potassium and argillic alteration where the potassium alteration is directly related to the porphytic systems belonging to what is the Segovia Batholith and the argillic alteration belongs to what is the quartz-gold veins of the La Reliquia mine. The mine 'La Reliquia' is framed in what is known as the Segovia – Remedios Mining District (DMSR), where gold mineralizations related to intrusive bodies (Segovia Batholith) have been identified in this case associated with the Central Mountain Range and unidentified mineralizations within them. Many of these mineralizations present in the Segovia Batholith are located in what belongs to the reverse fault system of the DMSR.
