Estudio estructural, mineralógico y geoquímico de la veta Dios Protege, distrito minero Castaño Nuevo, San Juan, Argentina

Abstract

El distrito minero Castaño Nuevo, localizado en el borde oriental de la Cordillera Frontal de San Juan, se emplaza en rocas asociadas al magmatismo del Grupo Choiyoi y está conformado por un conjunto de vetas epitermales de cuarzo/adularia. La veta Dios Protege constituye la estructura principal del distrito y se encuentra emplazada en una falla de rumbo con una leve componente normal y desplazamiento siniestral. Presenta una orientación general NNE, con buzamiento hacia el O, y a lo largo de su corrida presenta sectores de apertura asociados a inflexiones e intersecciones con otras estructuras. En estos sectores se reconocen los mayores espesores, donde es posible identificar al menos 6 eventos de relleno. Estos eventos constituyen una alternancia entre bechas tipo crackle y brechas tipo cocarda, cuyo desarrollo se encuentra ligado a la relación entre la velocidad de apertura de la falla y la velocidad de ascenso de los fluidos. Asimismo, las fases minerales que componen cada evento y el registro de inclusiones fluidas en cada una de ellas, permiten establecer estadíos de no-ebullición, ebullición sutil y violenta, y se asocian a la depositación de los metales preciosos en este distrito. El estudio integrado de la mineralogía, textura, inclusiones fluidas y geoquímica de cada evento identificado en la veta Dios Protege permitió establecer que los mayores valores de Au se asocian al último evento (E6), caracterizado por brechas tipo crackle, ebullición intensa y una mineralización de tipo bonanza asociada, que podría localizarse por debajo de las cotas evaluadas.

Castaño Nuevo Mining District is located on the eastern side of the Frontal Cordillera of San Juan Province, Argentina. It is related to Choiyoi Group magmatism and it comprises a set of quartz/adularia veins. Dios Protege Vein is the most important structure from Castaño Nuevo Mining District and is placed on a sinistral strike-slip fault with a minor normal dip-slip component. The main orientation is NNE, W-dipping, and it is characterized by trend changes along the strike, creating open spaces related to strike inflections and interception with other structures. Along these open spaces, vein width is increased and there were recognized at least 6 infill events. These events could be classified between crackle and cockade breccia types. Cockade breccias result from low rates of cement growth compared to high rates of fracturing, while high rates of fluid rise are more likely to develop crackle breccias, these ratios fluctuated along time, and define mineral alternation and different types of fluid inclusion found on each mineral phase, that could be related to boiling process and precious metal deposition. By integrating these vein features, it was recognized that the last event (E6) from Dios Protege Vein has the greatest Au/Ag values, it represents a crackle breccia type, with intense boiling features and could allow locating a boiling horizon at depth and Bonanza-type mineralization associated, below the studied levels.
