Mineralización de sulfuros en las ofiolitas famatinianas y rocas asociadas, Calingasta, Precordillera de San Juan

Abstract

En la Precordillera occidental de la provincia de San Juan se encuentran basaltos pertenecientes a una ofiolita de edad famatiniana. Son interpretados como formados en un ambiente extensional en una cuenca oceánica poco profunda cercana a bordes continentales cubiertos por sedimentos pelágicos y turbidíticos. Se presentan como cuerpos macizos o mantos concordantes a subconcordantes y según la composición química son basaltos tholeiíticos de tipo MORB.En la región de Calingasta, las mineralizaciones corresponden a dos tipos de depósitos: a) la mina Santa Elena, un sulfuro masivo máfico pelítico, rico en metales preciosos, pobre en Cu y con elevados tenores de Pb y Zn, cuya paragénesis primaria, masiva y diseminada, consta de pirita, calcopirita, galena, esfalerita, tetraedrita argentífera, bournonita, marcasita, melnikovita, arsenopirita, oro y molibdenita. En la potente zona de oxidación se halla una veintena de sulfatos de hierro. b) una mineralización de sulfatos de Al y Mg, asociada a los sedimentos de la Formación Alcaparrosa, en alternancia con los basaltos, fundamentalmente en lutitas, producto de la oxidación de la pirita diseminada en ellas y la reacción con sus minerales aluminosilicáticos.La región de Calingasta se considera un área de interés prospectivo por su potencial para alojar otros cuerpos de sulfuros masivos.

In the western Precordillera of San Juan Province are basalts belonging to a Famatinan ophiolite age. They are interpreted as formed in an extensional environment in a shallow ocean basin near continental edges covered by pelagic and turbiditic sediments. They are presented as massive bodies or concordant to subconcordant mantles and according to the chemical composition are MORB type tholeiitic basalts. In the region of Calingasta mineralization correspond to two types: a) Santa Elena mine, a mafic pelitic massive sulphide deposit rich in precious metals, Cu-poor and high contents of Pb and Zn, whose primary paragenesis, massive and disseminated, consists of pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, argentiferous tetrahedrite, bournonite, marcasite, melnikovita, arsenopyrite, gold and molybdenite. A twenty iron sulfates are in the thick oxidation zone. b) Al and Mg sulfates, associated with Alcaparrosa Formation sediments, alternating with the basalts, which are mainly in shale product of the oxidation of pyrite disseminated in them and their reaction with alumina silicates minerals. Calingasta region is considered a prospective area for its potential to host other massive sulphide bodies.
