ABSTRACT
The Cerro Corona deposit is located in the Hualgayoc mining district of the
Cajamarca province of northern Peru. The copper-gold mineralization is hosted by the
Cerro Corona stock which is divided into two intrusive units: a pre or synmineralization
phase (Quartz Diorite 1) and post-mineralization phase (Quartz Diorite 2). Intrusive
phases are compositionally very similar and have fine grain crowded porphyritic textures.
The quartz diorite is comprised of approximately 25 % plagioclase, 8 % biotite and 8 %
hornblende phenocrysts and the remainder is a fine grained groundmass. Pb/ U
analysis of zircon gives a Middle Miocene age (14.4 0. 1 Ma) for the Cerro Corona
quartz diorite. The Cerro Corona stock intruded the late Cretaceous Pariatambo
formation which is composed of silty limestones. Skarning and mineralization of the
Pariatambo formation is restricted to within twenty meters of the limestone diorite
contact.
Four hydrothermal alteration assemblages have been classified at the Cerro Corona
deposit: 1) K-silicate, 2) Sericite-chlorite-clay (SCC), 3) Quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP), 4)
Orange clay (OC). K-silicate alteration is characterized by replacement of primary
hornblende by hydrothermal biotite, replacement of plagioclase by potassium feldspar and
the formation of potassium feldspar and leafy hydrothermal biotite in the groundmass and
in veins. K-silicate alteration is interpreted to be the oldest alteration assemblage and it
occurs commonly in the deeper levels of the Cerro Corona stock. SCC alteration is
characterized by pale green colour and waxy texture due to the replacement of plagioclase
and groundmass by sericite, chlorite, clay, and calcite. SCC alteration comprises a large
area in Quartz Diorite 1 and is interpreted to have the occurred after K-silicate alteration.
QSP alteration is characterized by the destruction of intrusive texture and the formation of
massive quartz, sericite and pyrite. QSP alteration occurs in the upper levels of the stock
in Quartz Diorite 1 and is interpreted to be the last stage in the hydrothermal sequence
which is associated with mineralization. OC alteration is characterized by the replacement
of plagioclase and groundmass by clay which is bright orange in colour where the
alteration affects magnetite-hematite bearing rocks. OC alteration occurs throughout the
Cerro Corona stock and may be related to supergene fluids.
The main vein types classified at Cerro Corona are: 1) Biotite 2) K-feldspar 3)
Magnetite 4) Quartz-oxide-sulphide (QOS) 5) Quartz-pyrite (QP) 6) Pyrite 7) Calcite.
The majority of the copper mineralization occurs as chalcopyrite which forms in the K-
feldspar, Magnetite, QOS, QP and Pyrite veins.
Two types of supergene mineralization occur at Cerro Corona: oxidized Au
bearing rock and supergene Cu mineralized rock both of which occur in zones sub-parallel
to the surface. Significant hypogene mineralization occurs throughout Quartz Diorite 1
above 3500m. Mineralization is interpreted to have occurred in two separate phases: 1)
low Au/Cu ratio mineralization which occurs throughout Quartz Diorite 1 and is related to
K-silicate alteration; and 2) high Au/Cu ratio mineralization which occurs in the center of
the SCC altered zone and may be related to SCC alteration.
The size, grade and mineralogy of the Cerro Corona deposit are characteristic of
porphyry copper-gold deposits which occur throughout the world. The alteration and
mineralization at Cerro Corona represents a magmatic-hydrothermal system which
chemically changed and collapsed over time resulting in intense overprinting alteration
assemblages and related mineralization.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 LOCATI ON AND ACCESS
Cerro Corona porphyry copper-gold deposit is in the Hualgayoc Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag
district, 2 km west of the town of Hualgayoc in the department of Cajamarca, northern
Peru (Figure 1.1). The deposit is centered at latitude 0645'45"N and longitude
7837'22"W. The property is accessible by road from the town of Cajamarca 50 km to the
south.
1.2 PHYSIOGRAPHY
Cerro Corona deposit lies just east of the South American continental divide at a
maximum elevation of 3960m. Topography of the area is rugged but locally moderate in
the immediate deposit area. The intrusion which hosts the deposit forms a north-south
elongated hill 800m by 1000m in plan with relief of 300m. The local flora is restricted to
alpine grass. The area has a temperate climate and receives heavy seasonal rainfall from
November to March. Outcrop exposure in the region is approximately 20%.

1.3 PREVIOUS WORK
1 .3 .1 Regional Mapping and Studies
The first comprehensive regional mapping study of the Hualgayoc district and
surrounding area in northern Peru was carried out by Wilson (1984). Later metallogenic
studies of the region corroborate the regional geology of Wilson (Noble et al. 1994 and
Macfarlane et al. 1990). Macfarlane (1989) studied lead and sulphur isotopes and fluid
inclusions in several manto and vein deposits located in the Hualgayoc area. Lead isotope
analyses of galena in manto and vein ore by ion probe indicate a common lead source, with
only small amounts of mixing of ore lead sources indicated by the slight variations in
traverses across growth zones in vein galena. Analyses of lead isotopes of the ore,
associated plutons, sedimentary host rocks and metamorphic basement show that the
Miocene plutons provided the ore lead. Sulphur isotope ratios measured from pyrite and
galena by ion probe suggest that most of the sulphur in manto and vein deposits of the
Hualgayoc area has a magmatic source. Most of the manto sulphides have 5
34
S values
that range from -5 to 7 per mil and pyrite and galena from veins contain sulphur that is 4
to 5 per mil lighter. Lighter sulphur isotopes in vein material are interpreted to be a result
of mixing with diagenetic sulphides or oxidation of the ore fluid in the later vein stages.
Fluid inclusion data show that the manto ores correspond paragenetically to the earliest
vein mineralization. Fluid inclusions from the mantos homogenize at 300 40C and have
average salinities of 12 wt%NaCl equivalent. Fluid inclusions from early stage veins
homogenize at 250 + 15C and have highly variable salinities. Late-stage vein fluid
3
Chapter 1 Introduction
inclusions homogenize at 150 15C with an average salinity of 6 wt% NaCl
equivalent. Manto ores are interpreted to be formed by early, high temperature
metasomatic replacement of permeable, reactive sedimentary rocks. Veins are interpreted
to represent later infilling of the fluid conduits as the system cooled and possibly mixed
with meteoric waters. Macfarlane et al. (1990) produced K-Ar and Rb-Sr dates for
several of the major igneous bodies in the Hualgayoc area as well as further fluid inclusion
studies on manto and vein deposits in the Hualgayoc area. Further discussion of this study
is in Chapter 2.
1.3.2 Exploration History
The Hualgayoc mining district has been an important silver producing district since
Inca times. Mines in vein and manto deposits have produced over 1,500,000 kg of silver
and significant amounts of lead, zinc and copper since the Spanish Conquest (Macfarlane,
1989). Colonial mining focused on oxidized zones of veins which extend from surface to
tens or hundreds of meters in depth. Later mining moved to primary sulphide zones in
veins (Macfarlane, 1989). Ericksen et al. (1956) provided the first in depth synthesis of
ore deposits and geology for the district. Systematic exploration was first carried out by
the Bureau de Research Geologique et Mineral in 1979 in an effort to determine potential
for economic porphyry copper mineralization (Thiersch, 1995). Intense silicification and
sulphides were noted on Cerro Corona. In 1992 the property owner, Mina Carolina,
drilled ten holes at Cerro Corona after evaluating its gold potential through a mapping and
sampling program (Thiersch, 1995). Cerro Corona was optioned by Barrick Gold
4
Chapter 1 Introduction
Corporation in 1994 who conducted mapping, sampling, and drilling programs from
January 1994 until March 1995. Over this time 32,964 m of core holes and 9,640 m of
reverse circulation holes were drilled. A proven minable reserve of 91 million metric
tonnes of 1.05 ppm Au and 0.51%Cu resulted from the drilling program (Thiersch, 1995).
Renasen Gold Corporation acquired mining rights of Cerro Corona in early 1997 and is
currently assessing the economics of the deposit.
Current mining in the Hualgayoc district produces a modest amount of lead, zinc,
silver, copper and gold from manto and vein deposits. There are two main producers in
the district: 1) Mina Carolina operates an underground silver-lead-zinc-copper mine in
limestones and an intrusion at Apron immediately north of Cerro Corona; 2) San Nicholas
operates the El Zoro open pit oxide silver-gold mine on an intrusion-limestone contact
northwest of Cerro Corona.
1.4 RESEARCH AIMS AND METHODOLOGY
1.4.1 Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between alteration and
copper-gold mineralization within the Cerro Corona porphyry copper-gold deposit with an
emphasis on the mineralogy and paragenesis of hydrothermal alteration and, the location
and paragenesis of copper-gold mineralization. Several different styles of hydrothermal
alteration occur at Cerro Corona in complex overprinting relationships. The primary aim
of research is the classification of alteration assemblages defined by: 1) mineralogical
5
Chapter 1 Introduction
assemblages and textures, 2) distribution, and, 3) timing and equilibrium relationships to
other alteration assemblages. The second goal for research is the classification of
mineralizing phases at Cerro Corona defined by: 1) mineral assemblages and textures, 2)
Cu: Au ratio, and, 3) timing and equilibrium relationships to alteration assemblages. Cerro
Corona ore contains average metal concentrations of 1.0 ppm Au and 0.5%Cu which are
characteristic grades for gold-rich porphyry copper deposits (Sillitoe, 1991). Limited
detailed research has been carried out on the distribution of and controls for gold within
porphyry copper-gold deposits (e.g., Sillitoe and Gappe, 1984; Vila et al. 1991). An
improved understanding of gold within magmatic-hydrotherrnal systems is important for
genetic models and has implications for economic models that include metal grades,
metallogenic characteristics and rock properties.
This study forms part of the Magmatic-Hydrothermal project the aim of which is
to study intrusion-hosted copper and gold mineralization in different tectonic and
magmatic settings. Cerro Corona provides a particular example of a porphyry copper-
gold deposit with in a limestone terrane for comparison with other deposits studied by the
MDRU project.
1.4.2 Methodology
Field work by the author on site in Peru took place from May until September
1995 and in May of 1996. The majority of work concentrated on drill core logging, with
surface mapping and regional work carried out to a lesser degree. Surface mapping at
6
Chapter 1 Introduction
Cerro Corona focused on establishing vein density and orientation and limited regional
work involved visiting and sampling other intrusive bodies in the Cerro Corona area.
Definition drilling at 70m spacing carried out by Barrick Gold Corporation
provided over 30,000m of 2.5 inch diameter HQ diamond drill core. Fire assay analysis
for Au and atomic absorption for Cu were carried out at 2m intervals for all core and R.C.
drill holes (Appendix A). Fourteen drill holes which occur along two bisecting diagonal
cross sections were logged. Level plans were created by logging 20m intervals centered
on the 3700m, 3600m, and 3500m from 30 vertical drill holes located throughout the
Cerro Corona deposit. The drill core was logged using a logging sheet created in Peru
(Appendix B).
The three main objectives of the drill core logging were: 1) identify the mineralogy
and textural characteristics of different lithologies, 2) identify the replacement alteration
mineralogy of the primary igneous porphyritic minerals and groundmass, and, 3) identify
vein mineralogy, sequence and abundance of economically important minerals. Previous
drill core logging was carried out by 25 different Barrick Gold Corp. employees over 15
months and these data are viewed as suspect. Previous cross-sections and level plans
made in Peru focused on the distribution of mineralization and contained very little
information on the distribution of hydrothermal alteration.
Alteration assemblages were characterized and a database was created with
alteration intensity from 0-4 for each assemblage for two meter intervals in all holes
logged (Appendix D). Cross sections depicting the alteration intensity as well as Au and
Cu concentrations were instrumental in defining the distribution of the alteration (in
pocket).

Chapter 1 Introduction
Analyses carried out on over 100 samples in Vancouver included: Transmitted and
reflected light petrography, used to define the major and trace minerals in each alteration
assemblage and their textures and relationships, as well as, the definition of vein
mineralogy, sequence and associated alteration. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to
determine the phyllosilicate mineralogy on eighteen samples that characterized the four
alteration assemblages. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was used to
determine if very fine grained native Au could be detected in four sections of selected high
Au grade mineralization. Unfortunately the result of this reconnaissance study was
negative and it was not pursued further. Appendix D contains the sample list with the
specific analyses which were carried out on each sample.

2.0 GEOLOGY
2.1 TECTONIC SETTING
Cerro Corona deposit is in the Pongos Basin in the western Andean Cordillera.
The geologic and tectonic setting of the Andean Cordillera of northern Peru is described
in Wilson (1963), Meyers (1975), Cobbing (1985), and Wilson (1985) and the following
summary is based on their work. The Peruvian Andes are comprised of autochthonous
terranes except two separate accreted terranes which occur at the northwestern tip of the
country: the Tahuin terrane and the Santiago terrane described by Feininger (1987). The
Peruvian Andes are comprised of two major belts, the eastern and western Cordilleras of
the Paleozoic and Mesozoic ages respectively. The belts run approximately parallel to
the present day coastline and are separated by the Maranon block which is an
intermontane plateau (Figure 2.1). The Andes are flanked to the east by Mesozoic and
Tertiary sedimentary basins which rest on crystalline basement rocks of the Brazilian
Shield and are bordered by crystalline basement rocks of the Arequipa Massif to the north
and south west (Cobbing, 1985). The western and eastern Cordilleras each comprise a
crustal strip which has evolved and subsided, forming tectonically independent basins.
The Maranon Geanticline which separates the Cordilleras was a belt of relative uplift
(Meyers, 1975). The development of the Andes in northern Peru was dominated by the
vertical emergence and subsidence of these two parallel blocks (Macfarlane, 1989).
In northern Peru, the Cordillera is divided into eastern and western portions. The
eastern Cordillera comprises medium to high-grade metasedimentary and metavolcanic

rocks of the Paleozoic and possibly late Precambrian age and the western Cordillera is
composed of Mesozoic sedimentary, volcanic, and intrusive rocks and Tertiary volcanic
rocks. The initial phase of development for the western Cordillera of Peru was an
extensional regime which formed large deep-seated horst and graben structures in the
upper crust (Cobbing, 1985). The trough accepted sedimentary material from the
continent and volcanic material from the marginal volcanic arc forming a
miogeosynclinal-eugeosynclinal couple (Cobbing, 1978). The sedimentary and volcanic
material filled the extensional basin and developed into four related sub-basins: two
eastern, Pongos and Chavin; and two western, Huarmey and Rio Canete. The eastern
basin is comprised of continental derived sediments and the western basin is comprised
largely of submarine flows, hyaloclastic and volcaniclastic sediments. The eastern
continental derived sedimentary basins range from Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous
and in general consist of a clastic shale-quartzite sequence grading west into a
volcaniclastic flyschoid sequence of Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous age and a
carbonate sequence of Upper Cretaceous age (Cobbing, 1985).
Deformation occurred during the mid-Cretaceous time, the Mochica phase,
throughout the Andes. However, the folding of the eastern sedimentary basins of the
western Cordillera was delayed until the Paleocene, after the major units of the Coastal
Batholith were emplaced. The early Tertiary Incaic orogeny deformed the
miogeosyncline and the eugeosyncline together, uplifting and folding the competent
limestone and quartzite units. The large, concentric, upright folds of the Cretaceous
sediments are interpreted by Cobbing (1985) to be detached from the pre-Ordovician
crystalline basement rocks.
11
Chapter 2 Geology
During Eocene time an erosional surface developed throughout the northern
Peruvian Andes. The Calipuy Group, 1000 to 3000m of felsic subaerial plateau volcanic
rocks, was deposited on this surface during the Miocene. The axis of deposition for these
volcanic rocks lies in the middle of the miogeosyncline in the western Cordillera
(Cobbing, 1985). These volcanic rocks are interpreted to be related to the Miocene
plutons such as the Cordillera Blanca Batholith and the plutons of the Hualgayoc district
which were intruded into the Cretaceous shelf sequence. A second major Andean
deformation event folded the volcanic units with axes parallel to the Incaic orogeny and
tightened the folds in the underlying Cretaceous sediments (Macfarlane, 1989).
2.2 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
2.2.1 Sedimentary Rocks and Distribution
Stratigraphy of the Hualgayoc district is described by Benavides (1956) and
Wilson (1963) and is summarized in Figure 2.2. The oldest exposed rocks in the
Hualgayoc district are Albian quartzites, siltstones and dark shales of the Goyllarisquisga
Group which are exposed in the western part of the area (Figure 2.3). The base of the
Goyllarisquisga Group is not exposed but it is estimated to have a total thickness of 800m
in this area (Macfarlane, 1989). Goyllarisquisga Group passes conformably up into the
early Albian Inca Formation which is comprised mainly of sandstones, shales, calcareous
siltstones, and silty limestones. Macfarlane (1989) estimates the thickness of the Inca
Formation in the Hualgayoc district to be 30m. The mid-Albian age Chulec Formation

overlies the Inca Formation and is mainly composed of dark gray, poorly fossiliferous
limestones and marls which are intercalated with thin shale beds (Benavides, 1956).
Chulec formation is 369m thick in the Hualgayoc district and can be divided into two
units: 1) Lower unit comprised of calcareous sandstones and marls; and 2) Upper unit
comprised of limestones and marls with abundant chert nodules (Wilson, 1963).
Stratiform manto deposits in the Hualgayoc district are located in the uppermost part of
the Goyllarisquisga Group, the Inca Formation, and the lower beds of the Chulec
Formation (Macfarlane, 1989).
Chulec Formation is overlain by the Pariatambo Formation which is also of mid-
Albian age. In the Hualgayoc district, the Pariatambo Formation is approximately 135m
thick and consists of thin bedded shale, limestone and dolomite (Wilson, 1963). Both the
carbonates and the shale are bituminous and dark gray or black in colour. Cerro Corona
stock intrudes the Pariatambo Formation at surface. Pariatambo Formation grades
quickly into the nodular thick-bedded limestones and marls of the Yumagual Formation
which is approximately 500m thick and is assigned to the interval from middle-late
Albian to early Cenomanian (Benavides, 1956). Yumagual Formation is overlain by five
units which are composed of 500m of thin to medium-bedded limestones intercalated
with thin silty or shaly beds (Benavides, 1956).
2.2.2 Igneous Rocks and Distribution
Cretaceous sediments of the Hualgayoc area are intruded by several felsic
volcanic necks and sills belonging to at least two and probably three separate units
15
Chapter 2 Geology
(Macfarlane et al., 1990). Accurate dating of the crystallization ages of the units has been
problematic because of widespread hydrothermal alteration, which may have affected K-
Ar dates, produced by Macfarlane et al. (1990).
The older of the two main igneous units is comprised of the Cerro San Miguel,
Cerro San Jose, Cerro Jesus, and Cerro Corona stocks and the Yanacancha sill (Figure
2.3). Macfarlane (1989) referred to this unit as the San Miguel unit. Where fresh, the
San Miguel intrusive rocks contain abundant plagioclase (An 45-50), hornblende, and
clinopyroxene as well as apatite, magnetite, quartz and zircon as accessories
(Macfarlane, 1989). Hornblende is always present in this unit, commonly as euhedra up
to 3mm. Plagioclase occurs as phenocrysts up to 1 cm across and as fine-grained laths in
the groundmass. Clinopyroxene phenocrysts vary in modal abundance from 10%to trace
amounts and are occasionally replaced by biotite. Most outcrops of the San Miguel
intrusive rocks are strongly porphyritic with zoned plagioclase and hornblende
phenocrysts (Macfarlane, 1989). Virtually all of the San Miguel intrusive rocks have
been affected by hydrothermal alteration associated with sulphide and sulphosalt
mineralization, the most common of which is propylitic alteration, defined by
saussertization of feldspars and the alteration of hornblende, biotite and clinopyroxene to
chlorite, epidote and calcite (Macfarlane et al., 1990). Ages from the K-Ar dating of the
Cerro Jesus, Cerro San Jose, and Cerro Corona stocks are 10.29 0.20, 13.00 0.24 and
13.35 0.27 Ma. respectively (Macfarlane et al., 1990) and are shown on Figure 2.3 and
Table 2.1. These data suggest that the San Miguel and Tantahuatay intrusions are
contemporaneous, and suggest that mineralization and alteration occurred in the middle
Miocene. It is possible that the K/Ar age analyzed for Cerro Jesus is significantly

younger than Cerro Corona and Cerro San Jose because Cerro Jesus was affected by the
emplacement of Cerro Hualgayoc immediately to the west. Muscovite which was
analyzed from Cerro Jesus may have been thermally reset when it was affected by the
heat of the emplacement of the Cerro Hualgayoc lava dome. Macfarlane (1989) used
Rb/Sr analysis to date Cerro Coymolache which produced an age of 45 3.4 Ma. This is
much older than any K-Ar dates from various intrusive rocks from the district including
an age of 11.8 0.6 Ma for a whole rock sample from the same pluton (Borredon, 1982).
Younger igneous rocks in the district are the biotite-bearing rhyodacites at Cerro
Hualgayoc which appear to be the remnants of a dome complex (Macfarlane, 1989). The
rhyodacite contains abundant fine-grained phenocrysts of biotite and plagioclase (An =
43-45) in a glassy, quartz rich matrix that typically comprises 60%of the rock but
contains no clinopyroxene or hornblende (Macfarlane, 1989). This unit possesses at least
two concentric structures that appear to be eroded volcanic vents. The margins of the
Cerro Hualgayoc dome complex contain abundant xenoliths of Cretaceous sediments and
altered rocks of the Cerro Jesus stock (Macfarlane et al., 1990). Cerro Hualgayoc rocks
are not mineralized and have not been affected by hydrothermal alteration (Macfarlane et
al., 1990). Several workers have produced K-Ar ages for this unit and there is a
significant discrepancy in the interpreted dates of crystallization. Macfarlane et al.
(1990) describes two ages for magmatic biotite: 1) 9.05 0.21 Ma and 2) 7.9 0.3 Ma.
which were sampled and analyzed by Macfarlane and Noble respectively. Borredon
(1982) produced an age by K-Ar analysis of a whole-rock sample from Cerro Hualgayoc
which is 7.2 0.35 Ma. In light of the difference between these dates, it is notable that in
thin section there were no indications of hydrothermal alteration in phenocrysts (biotite
18
Chapter 2 Geology
and plagioclase) or the groundmass (Macfarlane, 1989). Although there is a significant
difference in the ages produced for the Cerro Hualgayoc dome complex these data still
suggest that they were implaced after the San Miguel intrusive rocks. More reliable data
from the Ar-Ar dating method may resolve this discrepancy.
Cerro Tantahuatay intrusion, which may represent the third separate unit, is
located approximately 5 km to the west of Cerro Corona (Figure 2.3). Intense hypogene
quartz-alunite alteration is present within this pluton. Coarse-grained alunite from Cerro
Tantahuatay was dated using the K-Ar method and produced an age of 12.4 0.4 Ma.
(Macfarlane, 1989). Cerro Tantahuatay intrusion was originally interpreted by Ericksen
et al. (1956) to be a texturally different part of the San Miguel intrusion.
Intrusive rocks in the Hualgayoc district display the effects of several types of
hydrothermal alteration (Macfarlane et al., 1990). San Miguel intrusive rocks have been
affected by propylitic alteration which is marked by saussertization of feldspars, and
alteration of clinopyroxene, hornblende, and biotite to chlorite, epidote and calcite
(Macfarlane et al., 1990). Cerro San Jose and Cerro Jesus are intermediate to intensely
altered to sericite and clay which replaces feldspars and groundmass. This alteration is
associated with quartz veins containing sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite,
pyrite, marcasite, arsenopyrite, stibnite, proustite-pyrargyrite, calcite, rhodochrosite, and
barite, which were responsible for the historical silver and gold production in the
Hualgayoc district (Macfarlane, 1989). Cerro Tantahuatay contains epithermal gold
mineralization and associated quartz-alunite alteration (Macfarlane, 1989).
19
Chapter 2 Geology
2.2.3 Petrochemistry of Igneous Rocks in the Hualgayoc District
Several of the intrusions located in the of Cerro Corona area were sampled and
analyzed for major oxide and trace element concentrations using inductively coupled
plasma - mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis
(Appendix A). Intrusions in the Hualgayoc district which were sampled are Cerro
Corona, Cerro Coymolache, Cerro San Jesus, Cerro San Jose, Cerro San Miguel, and
Cerro Tantahuatay (Table 2.2).
Igneous rocks in the Hualgayoc district display the effects of hydrothermal
alteration ranging from weak propylitic to intense advanced argillic alteration. Samples
collected from the intrusions in the Hualgayoc district were all altered to some extent
with one sample from Cerro Corona being intensely altered. Igneous rocks in the
Hualgayoc district plot in a relatively tight group when plotted by their ratios of
concentration of high field strength elements in Figure 2.4a, suggesting that they are
compositionally similar (Winchester and Floyd, 1977). However, samples of altered
plutonic rocks may not plot realistically in terms of the unaltered volcanic rock
compositions used in the construction of the Winchester and Floyd diagram. Hualgayoc
district igneous rocks display similar trends when plotted by their rare earth element
(REE) concentrations normalized to chondrite concentration, with a general trend
decreasing from heavy REE's to light REE's (Figure 2.4b). End-member samples occur
at Cerro Tantahuatay (highest REE concentration) and Cerro San Jose (lowest REE
concentration). One sample from Cerro Corona is an obvious outlier from the rest of the
samples of intrusive rocks from the Hualgayoc district. This sample has very low

Chapter 2 Geology
concentrations of all trace elements and a high concentration of SiC>2 (79%). The Corona
1 sample (# 9603) was taken from the summit of Cerro Corona where intense quartz
stockwork veining occurs which is interpreted to have diluted trace elements due to the
high quartz vein concentration (approximately 30%). The REE line of the Corona 1
sample is flat in the light REE side of the plot because the concentrations of the light
REE's were below the analytical detection limit. The high field strength elements such
as Zr and Ti02 also occur in lower concentrations than the other Cerro Corona samples
and the ratios of these elements are different from other Cerro Corona samples. It is
interpreted that the ratios of the high field strength elements in Corona 1 sample may
have been affected by the intense alteration which occur in this sample. This may explain
why the Corona 1 sample plots further into the alkaline basalt field in Figure 2.4a.
Sample Corona 2 is interpreted to better represent Cerro Corona on the Winchester and
Floyd diagram because it is less altered. The REE plot indicates that the igneous rocks in
the Hualgayoc district are compositionally similar.
Twelve samples from Cerro Corona which were petrographically determined to
be least altered were analyzed at McGill University using X-ray diffraction analysis
(Appendix A, Table 2.3). The high field strength elements were plotted to determine if
there had been mobility in these elements during hydrothermal alteration in order to
pursue further mass change calculations (Figures 2.5a and 2.5b) (Barrett and MacLean,
1994). The difference in concentration of high field strength elements is greater than the
difference expected due to sampling and analytical error (Figures 2.5a and 2.5b). The
change in the concentrations of Zr, TiC>2 andAI 2O3 does not fall along a linear trend
suggesting that they remained constant but were diluted or concentrated due to other

material being added or removed from the rock. This suggests that either there was
variability in the original concentrations of Zr, Ti02 and AI2O3 in the quartz diorite at
Cerro Corona or that Zr, TiC"2 and AI2O3 were mobile during the hydrothermal alteration
which occurred at Cerro Corona.
Inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) was
carried out on 25 samples of quartz diorite from Cerro Corona that were affected by
hydrothermal alteration (Appendix A). The objective was to determine systematic
changes in trace metal concentrations with change in hydrothermal alteration. The
precision of the samples was extremely poor and the sample duplicates have metal
concentrations which vary up to several orders of magnitude. Given the variation in vein
density and vein mineralogy these results are not surprising. Sample size (split drill core
<50cm long) were insufficient and pulps from 2m splits were unavailable for resampling.
2.2.4 U-Pb Dating of Igneous Rocks
Samples were collected from Cerro Corona, Cerro Coymolache, and Cerro
Tantahuatay to determine the ages of the intrusion using U-Pb zircon techniques. The
samples were processed and analyzed at the University of British Colombia by Dr. J. K.
Mortensen. Three fractions were analyzed for each sample and yielded ages of 14.4 + 0.1,
14.3 0.1 and 13.2 0.2 Ma for Cerro Corona, Cerro Coymolache, and Cerro
Tantahuatay respectively. Sample JJ9602 from Cerro Corona contained coarse grained
zircon crystals which were heavily abraded before analysis. Fraction A yields a
concordant analysis with a
206
Pb/
238
U age of 14.4 iO.lMa which is interpreted to be the

best estimate for the crystallization age of the rock (Figure 2.6a, Mortensen, J.K., 1997,
pers. comm.). Fraction B and C yield much older Pb/ U ages are not concordant and
are interpreted to have an inherited older zircon component. The age calculated for Cerro
Coymolache is based on the range in
206
Pb/
238
U ages between three concordant fractions
(Figure 2.6b, Mortensen, J.K., 1997, pers. comm.). The age calculated for Cerro
Tantahuatay is based on the range in Pb/ U ages between two concordant fractions
(Figure 2.6c, Mortensen, J.K., 1997, pers. comm.). Fraction A gives an older

age and is interpreted to have an older inherited zircon component. These dates suggest
that Cerro Coymolache was emplaced at the same time as Cerro Corona and the rest of
the San Miguel intrusion during middle-Miocene time which is a very different
interpretation than the one suggested by Macfarlane's (1989) Rb-Sr age of 45 Ma. It is
possible that Cerro Tantahuatay is not part of the Cerro San Miguel intrusion but
represents a different intrusion which was emplaced approximately one million years
later. For a description of techniques and analytical procedures used see Mortensen et al.
(1995).
2.2.5 Cerro Corona Quartz Diorites
The composite intrusion that hosts the Cerro Corona deposit is an oval stock that
is approximately 1000m long by 800m wide (Figure 2.7). The igneous rocks at Cerro
Corona that host mineralization are classified as quartz diorite. Two intrusive phases are
recognized: 1) a pre or syn-mineralization phase termed, Quartz Diorite 1, and; 2) a post-
mineralization phase termed, Quartz Diorite 2. The two quartz diorites are similar

texturally and mineralogically, the main difference in appearance being an absence of
mineralized veins in Quartz Diorite 2. In hand specimen, Quartz Diorite 1 is
characterized by equant, subhedral plagioclase phenocrysts occurring in hiatal size
distribution with the smaller population ranging from 0.5 to 2mm and the larger
population ranging from 5 to 9mm (Plate 2.1). The small plagioclase phenocrysts
commonly constitute up to 20 %of the quartz diorite and the larger phenocrysts
commonly comprises 10 %of the quartz diorite. Euhedral biotite crystals, commonly
8mm in diameter, comprise up to 8 %of the rock. White inclusions were commonly
observed in the biotite phenocrysts. Staining by cobaltinitrate after exposure to
hydrofluoric acid indicated that these inclusions are K-feldspar. Elongate lath shaped
hornblende crystals with average dimensions of 1mm by 4mm comprise 5 to 8 %of the
rock. Primary hornblende is extremely rare in Quartz Diorite 1 as it has almost entirely
been replaced by biotite. Round anhedral 1 to 2mm magnetite crystals comprise one
percent of the rock. Rare anhedral quartz grains less than 2mm also occur. The
remainder of the rock, approximately 50 %, is comprised of a biotite rich quartzo-
feldspathic groundmass, medium grey in colour. In thin section, the phenocryst
composition was confirmed and the groundmass is comprised of fine grained (10 to 20
micron) quartz (20 to 40%) and plagioclase (15 to 35%), accessory sericite (<10%),
biotite (<10%), K-feldspar (5 to 25%), magnetite (<5%) and trace zircon crystals (Plate
2.2). K-feldspar, biotite, sericite, clay and part of the quartz in the groundmass are
interpreted to be secondary (Plate 2.3), the result of polyphase hydrothermal alteration
which will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. The composition of the groundmass has
changed due to hydrothermal alteration and the rock was classified using the modal

distribution of the porphyritic phenocrysts. The rock is classified as a quartz diorite using
the IUGS classification of plutonic rocks (Philpotts, 1990).
In least altered samples of Quartz Diorite 1, plagioclase phenocrysts are
commonly altered to K-feldspar on phenocryst rims or along fractures within crystals
(Plate 2.4). Plagioclase is commonly saussertized particularly on crystal edges or along
seams parallel to crystal edges and smaller plagioclase crystals are usually completely
saussertized (Plate 2.5). Plagioclase crystals with K-feldspar rims and saussertized cores
are interpreted to have been partially altered to K-feldspar and then saussertized. K-
feldspar inclusions in biotite are common (Plate 2.6) and other minerals commonly
included in biotite are quartz, calcite, pyrite, magnetite, hematite and saussertized
plagioclase. Hornblende is altered to biotite and chlorite, with minor quartz and
magnetite. Relic hornblende crystals commonly are comprised of biotite rich rims and
chlorite rich cores. Magnetite is altered to hematite along fractures and on crystal edges.
The main body of Quartz Diorite 2 occurs as a lobe in the south-west area of
Quartz Diorite 1 and appears on cross section 7x and all level plans (Figures 2.8, 2.9,
2.10 and 2.11). In the northern part of the deposit, hole CCD-226 intersects a second
body of Quartz Diorite 2 (Figures 2.7, 2.10 and 2.11) which may extend throughout the
northern part of the stock. Very few holes were drilled in the northern part of the deposit
because it is weakly mineralized. The relationship between Quartz Diorite 1 and Quartz
Diorite 2 in the northern part of the stock is not defined because of low drill hole density
in that area. Three other bodies of Quartz Diorite 2 exist in the upper part of the Cerro
Corona stock (Figures 2.8 and 2.9). It is not certain if these different bodies of Quartz
Diorite 2 are connected at depth or in the upper parts of the stock and represent a single

complex intrusive phase or several separate phases. However, all the later intrusive
bodies are classified as Quartz Diorite 2 because they have similar mineralogy, postdate
mineralization, and are crosscut only by late stage veins.
Contacts observed in drill core between Quartz Diorite 1 and Quartz Diorite 2 are
undulatory and chill margins exist within Quartz Diorite 2 (Plate 2.7). Veins containing
quartz, magnetite, K-feldspar and biotite are commonly cross cut by Quartz Diorite 2
(e.g. Plate 2.7). In thin section, the contact of Quartz Diorite 2 is very fine grained, and
locally cuts larger phenocrysts in Quartz Diorite 1 (Plate 2.8). In Quartz Diorite 2, grain
size gradually increases away from the contact both in hand specimen and thin section.
Contacts are very difficult to find in drill core due to the mineralogical and textural
similarities between Quartz Diorite 1 and Quartz Diorite 2 and the presence of clay gauge
related to late alteration. In hand specimen there are no apparent textural or
mineralogical differences between Quartz Diorite 1 and Quartz Diorite 2. The only
consistent difference in Quartz Diorite 2, found in thin section, is a slight increase in
magnetite phenocrysts as well as trace occurrence of small euhedral crystals of apatite
and epidote.
The feature which was used to distinguish Quartz Diorite 1 and Quartz Diorite 2
was the contact of Quartz Diorite 2 crosscutting Quartz Diorite 1 in drill core. Because
the identification of contacts between the igneous units at Cerro Corona requires
extremely careful logging of drill core, three characteristics were used to find areas of
possible transition between Quartz Diorite 1 and Quartz Diorite 2. The three
characteristics used to focus detailed logging in search of igneous contacts are: 1)
concentration of Au and Cu, 2) vein density and vein mineralogy, and, 3) style of
44

1 (lower half and coarse grained). A dark line occurs along the contact which is crosscut
by a late quartz vein. Scale at top of image is in centimeters.

hydrothermal alteration. A sharp transition in Au and Cu grades is observed at contacts
between Quartz Diorite 1 and Quartz Diorite 2 in drill holes on cross sections 7x and 70.
Hole CCD-198 intersects Quartz Diorite2 for the first 80m of the hole and has average
concentrations of Au and Cu of 0.07ppm and 0.08%respectively for this intersection.
The following 100m of Quartz Diorite 1 has average concentrations of 1.02 ppm Au and
0.46 %Cu. The contact between the two quartz diorite units in hole CCD-198 is
undulatory and occurs over several meters. Rocks on either side of the contact have a
very abrupt change in Cu and Au concentrations with very weakly mineralized rock
occurring in Quartz Diorite 2 and ore grade rock occurring in Quartz Diorite 1 (Cross
section 70 and Cross section 7x in pocket).
Vein density in Quartz Diorite 1 is commonly fifteen to twenty percent in both
mineralized and weakly mineralized rock. Quartz Diorite 2 commonly has two to three
percent veins with a maximum vein density of five percent. Veins which crosscut Quartz
Diorite 2 occur later in the paragenetic sequence of hydrothermal mineralization and
rarely contain any oxide minerals. This will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. In hole
CCD-198 three percent calcite veins and two percent pyrite veins occur in Quartz Diorite
2. After the contact with Quartz Diorite 1 is intersected Sulphide-Oxide veins comprise
twenty percent of the rock.
Alteration mineral assemblages in Quartz Diorite 2 indicate that hydrothermal
alteration is restricted to two distinct mineral assemblages: 1) K-silicate alteration, and, 2)
Orange clay alteration. These will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.

Chapter 2 Geology
2.2.6 Pariatambo Formation
The sedimentary rocks that host the Cerro Corona stock are interpreted from
stratigraphic mapping as medial Albian limestones from the Pariatambo Formation
(Rolan, J., 1995, pers. comm.). The limestone is medium to dark grey, thickly bedded
and bituminous. Pariatambo Formation is identified in the field by its characteristic dark
grey to black upper and lower limits which contrast with the pale coloured Chulec and
Yumagual Formations. In thin section the limestone is composed of fine grained calcite
and dolomite and shows evidence of recrystalization in the immediate area of the contact
with Quartz Diorite 1. In outcrop, the contact between limestone and intrusive rock is
commonly sharp, linear and uniform (Plate 2.9). The limestone is relatively undisturbed,
suggesting a passive emplacement of the Cerro Corona quartz diorite stock. Limestone
wallrocks are locally silled by the quartz diorite and large limestone xenoliths ranging
from 10m to 50m in diameter occur in the quartz diorite body at the edges of the stock.
Marble commonly occurs within 10m of the contact with the intrusive stock (Plate 2.10).
Skarn development in the limestone is minimal and is restricted to within a 30m halo
surrounding the intrusive contact and most commonly observed only within 5 to 10m of
the intrusive contact.
48
Plate 2.9 Hand specimen of the contact between quartz diorite (left half) and limestone
(right half). The limestone has a pale green colour with a semi-massive texture and the
diorite has a porphyritic texture and mottled beige colour at the contact.
Plate 2.10 The contact between quartz diorite and limestone in the field is rusty red near
vertical zone in the center of the plate. The quartz diorite which is highly fractured,
occurs on the right hand side of the photograph and is grey to rusty orange in colour due
to oxidation. The limestone occurs on the left hand side of the photograph and is pale
green in colour with a blocky, massive texture that is brecciated. The contact is very
steeply dipping and approximately planar. The hammer placed on the contact is used for
scale.

3.0 ALTERATION AND VEINING
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Drill core logging in Peru provided the first insight to the complex polyphase
hydrothermal alteration which occurs in the igneous rocks at the Cerro Corona porphyry
copper-gold deposit. Based on mineral assemblages, textures, associated veins, and,
timing relationships four distinct hydrothermal alteration assemblages were defined in the
field: 1) K-silicate, 2) sericite-chlorite-clay (SCC), 3) quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP), and, 4)
orange clay. Transmitted and reflected light analysis of 108 polished-thin sections
refined information on the major, accessory and trace minerals associated with each
alteration assemblage. Alteration textures, veins associated with alteration assemblages,
and relationships between assemblages were also defined petrographically. Clay
mineralogy was determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of four samples from
each alteration type (Appendix C). The intensity of alteration for a particular interval in
drill core was assessed from information on replacement mineralogy and alteration
textures in drill hole logs made in Peru. The distribution of alteration through the
intrusion is plotted on cross sections 70 and 7x (in pocket).
3.1.1 Alteration Classification
Table 3.1 lists the mineralogy with the characteristic assemblages determined
petrographically as well as accessory minerals that are used to classify each assemblage.
51
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
Associated veins and alteration styles for each alteration assemblage are also listed in
Table 3.1. Plates 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 depict examples of the four main alteration
assemblages which occur at the Cerro Corona porphyry copper-gold deposit.

The relationship between green (SCC), white (QSP), and orange clay (OC)
alteration is very complex and changes over a scale of centimeters (Figure 3.15).
Particular attention was paid to the textural relationships between these assemblages
during drill core logging and the following sequence was developed: 1) SCC alteration
occurred before QSP alteration based on mineral assemblages of crosscutting veins, 2)
52
Plate 3.1 Typical example of K-silicate alteration of Quartz Diorite 1 dominated by
K-feldspar veins and hydrothermal biotite. The piece of drill core in the lower right
part of the photograph has been stained in cobaltinitrate and illustrates the amount of
K-feldpar which pervasively affected plagioclase and the groundmass.
Plate 3.2 Typical SCC alteration of Quartz Diorite 1 with a pale green colour and
preserved porphyritic texture with plagioclase and biotite phenocrysts. There is a high
density of Magnetite veins.
53
54
Plate 3.3 Typical QSP alteration of Quartz Diorite 1 which is pale grey in colour and has
destroyed the porphyritic texture of the quartz diorite and is associated with a high density
of quartz-pyrite (QP) and Pyrite veins.
Plate 3.4 Typical OC alteration of Quartz Diorite 1 which is rusty orange in colour and
has a very high clay content which replaces all magmatic minerals except for biotite.
55
56
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
SCC alteration occurred before OC alteration based on replacement textures in orange
and green rock, 3) QSP alteration occurred before OC because texture-destroyed,
silicified QSP altered rocks with >2%magnetite-hematite have weak a OC alteration
overprint, 4) QSP alteration minerals are not commonly or strongly effected by OC
alteration.
3.1.2 Vein Classification
Definition of vein types and their sequence is based on all scales from hand
specimen to microscopic. As is common in porphyry copper-gold deposits, vein
mineralogy at Cerro Corona is highly variable. The following vein types are
distinguished and are further described in the sections on alteration with which they are
associated (Table 3.2):
1. Biotite (B) veinlets are wormy, very irregular, segmented and discontinuous.
B veins are less than 1mm wide and comprised of biotite with up to 10%quartz. The
irregular nature of these veins suggests that they formed before the rock behavior
transformed from plastic to brittle. B veinlets are very rare, occur below 3600m in
elevation and comprise less than 2 volume %of the rock. B veins are crosscut by KF
veins.
2. K-feldspar (KF) veinlets range from older irregular wormy veinlets to younger
more planar veinlets with consistent widths that range from 0.5mm to 12mm (Plate 3.5).
KF veins are moderately common and occur more at depth at Cerro Corona. All vein
types except B veinlets cut KF veinlets.
3. Magnetite (M) veins are commonly planar and range from 4mm to 20mm in

occurs in Quartz Diorite 1 and contains pervasive K-silicate alteration. Scale is in
centimeters.

magnetite) which occurs in a sample which is pervasively SCC altered. The photograph is

width. Veins range in composition from almost entirely magnetite to varying proportions
of quartz, hematite, chalcopyrite, with minor K-feldspar, pyrite, calcite, chlorite and
epidote (Plate 3.6). K-feldspar envelopes are characteristic to M veins and are used to
distinguish M veins from QOS veins which have SCC envelopes. M veins contain less
than 5 volume %pyrite and are crosscut by veins with higher sulphide contents.
4. Quartz-oxide-sulphide (QOS) veins are moderately straight and commonly are
10 to 15mm wide. QOS veins have variable mineralogy and morphology but contain
some proportion of magnetite, hematite, chalcopyrite and pyrite (Plate 3.7). QOS veins
contain at least 5 volume %pyrite. Early magnetite-rich QOS veins are crosscut by later
pyrite-rich QOS veins. Veins occur in association with chlorite-sericite and orange clay
alteration envelopes. QOS veins are commonly crosscut by QP, Pyrite and C veins (Plate
3.10) and do not occur in Quartz Diorite 2.
5. Quartz-pyrite (QP) veins are similar to QOS veins in most regards except they
contain little or no magnetite and hematite (Plate 3.8). Early QP veins characteristically
are comprised of less than 10 %pyrite and may contain minor magnetite and hematite.
Late QP veins characteristically contain more pyrite and do not contain any magnetite or
hematite. QP veins commonly have strong texture destructive QSP alteration envelopes
and are commonly crosscut by P and C veins. QP veins are the earliest vein type in
Quartz Diorite 2.
7. Pyrite (P) veins are planar, 3 to 8mm in width and characteristically comprised
only of pyrite. Minor quartz and chalcopyrite occur in P veins. Sericite envelopes
commonly occur around P veins. P veins crosscut all vein types except calcite veins
(Plate 3.9).
61

vein. The scale is in centimeters.
64
65
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
8. Calcite (C) veins are commonly planar, less than 10mm wide and are
comprised of calcite. C veins crosscut all other veins and are the terminal veins which
occur at Cerro Corona (Plate 3.10). In many cases there is not strict separation between
vein types. Mineralogy in veins is transitional between types, particularly M, QOS, QP
and P veins. Veins at Cerro Corona occur at highly variable angles ranging from vertical
to horizontal. However, the majority of M, QOS, QP and P veins occur on angles
between 45 and vertical. The orientation of veins will be further discussed in section
3.1.4.
3.1.3 Intensity of Alteration
Drill core logs made in the field focused on vein mineralogy and mineral
assemblages which replace magmatic minerals and groundmass. Detailed description of
alteration minerals, textures and relationships from 15 diamond drill holes were
confirmed using petrographic analysis of 108 polished thin sections and then transformed
into more quantitative data by defining an alteration intensity of the four hydrothermal
alteration assemblages for every two meter interval which has Au and Cu assay data. The
intensity scheme ranges from zero (weak) to four (most intense) and is outlined in Table
3.3. The interpretation of a numerical value for the intensity of hydrothermal alteration is
subjective, but the database (termed logassay) was created to be as consistent as possible.
The main strength of the data is that all the drill core logging and all the intensity
interpretation was carried out by one person. Theories about the alteration assemblages
changed over the thirteen months which the core was logged but the mineral

Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
identification and description remained consistent. After confirming the hydrothermal
alteration assemblages petrographically the logassay database for all logged holes (over
35,000 entries) was created over a short time period (six weeks) so that subjective change
in interpretation was limited.
The logassay database was first used to create cross-sections with good control on
the distribution of alteration assemblages. Cross-sections with assay and alteration
intensity were plotted at 1:1000 scale. Zones which contain each alteration type were
delineated using the cross-sections by referrence to the drill logs. The logassay database
was also used to interpret the relationship between overprinting alteration assemblages
and between alteration assemblages and mineralization which will be discussed further in
Chapter 4.
The occurrence of a hydrothermal alteration assemblage is defined by an
alteration intensity of 2 or greater. Intervals which have alteration intensity of 0 or 1 are
not significantly affected by a particular hydrothermal alteration assemblage. Histograms
were created for each hydrothermal alteration assemblage to determine the number of
samples which are affected by each other alteration assemblages (Appendix E). Some
trends between concurrent alteration assemblages are apparent. The great majority of
intervals which were logged with K-silicate alteration intensity of 2 or greater (contain
KF or M veins with K-feldspar envelopes) are not affected by other hydrothermal
alteration (Figure El). A small proportion of K-silicate altered intervals are affected by
SCC and or OC alteration. Approximately two-thirds of SCC altered intervals are
affected by OC alteration (Figure E2). A small proportion of SCC altered intervals are
affected by K-silicate and or QSP alteration. One-third of QSP altered intervals occur
68
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
intercalated with rock that is affected by SCC and or OC alteration. QSP alteration
affects the lowest number of intervals of any alteration assemblage. Of approximately
740 OC altered intervals, 444 are affected by SCC alteration. There are also
approximately 75 intervals which are intercalated with QSP altered rock. The overall
trends in alteration assemblages are that; 1) K-silicate altered intervals are not affected by
other hydrothermal alteration, 2) SCC altered intervals occur with OC altered intervals,
and 3) QSP altered intervals are less common than those of other assemblages and
commonly are intercalated with SCC and or OC alteration.
3.1.4 Surface Geology
The Cerro Corona stock was mapped by the author in August 1995 with a focus
on vein density because strong weathering within 5m of the surface destroyed alteration,
magmatic mineralogy and textures. Many veins which at surface are comprised of a
limonite core with a quartz selvage were interpreted to be relic QP veins because they
were 2 to 10cm wide and formed stockworks similar to those observed in drill core which
are formed by QP veins. Further identification of vein types at surface was impossible
because of the strong oxidation which occurs near the Cerro corona stock. A surface map
with the quartz diorite - limestone contact (interpreted from drill hole information), the
strikes and dips of major veins (>1 cm wide) and the vein density for outcrops in drill
road cuts is presented on Figure 3.0. Overall, the direction which planar veins occur in is
highly variable but the great majority of measured veins dip between 45 and vertical.
The vein density which occurs at surface is variable but is commonly 25 volume percent

or greater throughout most of the surface of the Cerro Corona stock. This high density
was most commonly observed in QSP altered zones in drill core. Biotite is rarely stable
at surface and occurs in areas with lower vein density. The vein morphology, density and
low biotite stability led to the interpretation that the surface of the Cerro Corona stock is
dominated by QSP alteration. The area centered at 763500 and 9252200
is the only major area which is interpreted to not be QSP altered because of the low vein
density and unaltered biotite which occurs on the outcrops in the road cuts. One small
outcrop in this area has no veins or hydrothermal alteration and may be Quartz Diorite 2
but there is no evidence for the whole area being Quartz Diorite 2.
3.2 K-SILICATE ALTERATION
3.2.1 Introduction
K-silicate alteration has been described as a principal alteration assemblage in
classic models for porphyry copper deposits (e.g., Sillitoe, 1978; Gustafson and Hunt,
1975). Examples of porphyry copper gold and porphyry copper-molybdenum deposits
in North and South America, which contain large zones of K-silicate altered rock include
Red Chris, Island Copper, El Salvador, and Chuquicamata (Baker, 1997; Arancibia and
Clark, 1996; Gustafson and Hunt, 1975; Sillitoe, 1978). Porphyry copper-gold deposits
are typified by deposits in the Philippines where K-silicate alteration occurs as the
primary alteration assemblage associated with mineralization (Sillitoe and Gappe, 1984).
Mineralogy associated with K-silicate alteration is biotite, K-feldspar, amphibole
71
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
(actinolite), quartz, magnetite, chalcopyrite, bornite and molybdenite. The oldest and
most pervasive hydrothermal alteration which occurs in the Cerro Corona porphyry
copper-gold deposit has a mineral assemblage and texture that is characteristic of K-
silicate alteration.
3.2.2 K-silicate Mineral Assemblages, Textures and Relationships
Key minerals associated with K-silicate alteration at Cerro Corona are biotite, K-
feldspar, quartz, magnetite and chalcopyrite (Plate 3.11). Minor minerals which occur
with this assemblage include epidote, calcite, specular hematite, bornite, and pyrite. The
characteristic mineral associated with K-silicate alteration at Cerro Corona is
hydrothermal biotite which ranges from fine to coarse grained and is dark brown to black.
Hydrothermal biotite replaces magmatic hornblende and magmatic biotite, and occurs as
very fine grained laths or shreddy crystals in the groundmass. Fine grained biotite is
ubiquitous in the groundmass at Cerro Corona but is also concentrated in veins and vein
envelopes with other minerals. In more intense K-silicate alteration, megascopic K-
feldspar, ranging from pink to white, accompanies biotite (Plate 3.1). K-feldspar
typically replaces plagioclase crystals along fractures and crystal edges and occurs in the
groundmass as well as in veins and vein envelopes with other minerals. Pink K-feldspar
was identified in the field using a hand lens and binocular microscope. To decipher the
white variety of K-feldspar, which is often very fine grained, from fine grained
plagioclase feldspar, staining of the rock was required using hydrofluoric acid and
cobaltinitrate. Quartz is a volumetrically significant component of the K-silicate
72
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
alteration assemblage at Cerro Corona. Quartz occurs in the groundmass and in veinlets
with hydrothermal silicate minerals. Magnetite and chalcopyrite dominantly occur in
veins and to a lesser degree as fine grained crystals disseminated in the groundmass.
Bornite and pyrite occur in trace amounts in this assemblage, predominantly as fine
grained crystals in quartz veins with very minor amounts occurring in the groundmass.
Porphyritic texture of the diorite is preserved in all but the most intense zones of K-
silicate alteration where K-feldspar flooding of the groundmass and partial replacement
of plagioclase crystals locally destroy the intrusive texture of the rock. More commonly,
rocks with moderate intensity of K-silicate alteration retain good porphyritic igneous
texture with euhedral plagioclase, biotite and subhedral hornblende. K-feldspar exists in
the groundmass and replaces plagioclase with an increasing degree of intensity relative to
the proximity to K-feldspar bearing veins. K-silicate alteration can be described as both
selective and pervasive. K-feldspar selectively replaces the groundmass and plagioclase
phenocrysts in proximity to K-feldspar and magnetite veins. Pervasive hydrothermal
biotite alteration occurs throughout the igneous rocks at Cerro Corona.
In thin section, K-silicate alteration of the groundmass is very fine grained and is
comprised of K-feldspar-biotite-quartz-magnetite-calcite. Biotite commonly occurs
throughout the Cerro Corona stock as fine grained laths in the groundmass and an
alteration product of magmatic hornblende (Plate 3.12). K-feldspar is more common than
observed in field logging and occurs in the groundmass in most samples in Diorite 1 that
are not strongly overprinted by later alteration. Incidence of K-feldspar replacing
plagioclase on crystal edges and along fractures was also found to be more common than
interpreted in the field (Plate 2.4). With increasing intensity of K-silicate alteration, there

is an increasing degree of replacement of original plagioclase and biotite.
Minerals associated with K-silicate alteration are replaced by minor accessory
minerals. Epidote, magnetite and chlorite replace hydrothermal biotite (Plate 3.13);
hematite replaces magnetite along crystal edges and fractures; K-feldspar in veins is
replaced by calcite (Plate 3.11); and calcite may replace K-feldspar in the groundmass.
3.2.3 Veins Related to K-silicate Alteration
Veins comprise up to 5 %of K-silicate altered rocks. Veins associated with K-
silicate alteration can be grouped into three main types: 1) B, 2) KF and 3) M. The
earliest veins to occur at Cerro Corona are classified as B veinlets. The rare, wormy, thin,
discontinuous veinlets are comprised mostly of aggregates of fine grained biotite with up
to 40%quartz. Biotite in these veins is commonly altered to chlorite and hematite. B
veinlets are crosscut by KF veinlets.
The habit and mineralogy of KF veins changes and two main sub-types are
present; 1) early KF veins and 2) late KF veins. Early KF veinlets are wormy,
discontinuous, less than 4mm in diameter, and are comprised dominantly of K-feldspar-
chalcopyrite-biotite with minor quartz, bornite and magnetite. The core of veins
commonly contain K-feldspar, quartz, chalcopyrite, bornite, calcite and trace pyrite with
biotite, epidote and chlorite concentrated in the selvage. Envelopes of hydrothermal
biotite occur and commonly replacing mafic minerals. Late KF veins are straight, are
commonly comprised of 75 %quartz, and are up to 12mm in width. Late KF veins cut
early KF veins. The cores of late KF veins are comprised of quartz, magnetite,
76
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
specularite, K-feldspar, and calcite. Vein selvages are comprised of biotite, epidote and
chlorite. Envelopes contain biotite (in the groundmass and replacing mafic minerals) and
K-feldspar (replacing plagioclase). KF veins are more common below the 3600m level in
the deposit. KF veins are cut by all vein types except B veins.
M veins are characterized as either 1) quartz-poor or 2) quartz-rich. Quartz-poor
M veins are commonly planar, 3-10 mm wide, and are comprised almost entirely of
magnetite. Accessory minerals (up to 10 %of veins) include quartz, chalcopyrite,
hematite, and pyrite. Quartz-rich M veins are straight, up to 15mm wide and are
commonly comprised of 40%quartz. Other minerals which commonly occur in quartz-
rich M veins include hematite, quartz, chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite, calcite, K-feldspar,
chlorite, and epidote. Quartz-rich M veins crosscut quartz-poor M veins (Plate 3.6). The
distribution of magnetite and quartz varies from quartz-rich cores and magnetite selvages
to the reverse. Quartz-rich M veins commonly have K-feldspar envelopes which replace
the groundmass proximal to the vein selvage. M veins contain less than 5 volume %
pyrite and are distinguished from QOS veins by their pyrite content and K-silicate
alteration envelopes. M veins crosscut KF veins and are commonly crosscut by QOS,
QP, P and C veins.
3.2.4 Distribution of K-silicate Alteration
K-silicate alteration is present in all intersections of Quartz Diorite 2 in both the
upper and lower parts of the deposit. Hydrothermal biotite partially replaces magmatic
77
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
hornblende in all samples of Quartz Diorite 2 (Plate 3.14). More intense K-silicate
alteration characterized by the occurrence of K-feldspar in KF and M veins and vein
envelopes (K-silicate alteration intensity >1) occurs in Quartz Diorite 1 dominantly in
the lower levels of the Cerro Corona stock and locally in Quartz Diorite 2.
The distribution of K-silicate alteration is displayed on Figures 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and
3.4. Pervasive K-silicate alteration characterized by the presence of hydrothermal biotite
(K-silicate alteration intensity >0) was observed in all intrusive rocks at Cerro Corona.
The striped pink area on the cross-sections and level plans indicates rocks which have K-
feldspar in veins and vein envelopes (K-silicate alteration intensity >1). This more
intense K-silicate alteration occurs predominantly below the 3600m level.
3.2.5 Timing of K-silicate Alteration
The timing of K-silicate alteration has been interpreted from cross cutting
relationships between veins and by replacement mineralogy. B and KF veins at Cerro
Corona commonly occur with K-silicate alteration envelopes and are interpreted to be
genetically associated only with K-silicate alteration. K-feldspar envelopes commonly
occur around M veins in the deeper levels of the deposit, however, in the higher levels,
strong pervasive SCC alteration occurs in rocks which contain only M veins. In thin
section, relic K-feldspar is commonly observed in SCC altered rocks proximal to M veins
being partially replaced by sericite-chlorite-clay. It is interpreted that SCC alteration
overprints K-silicate alteration which envelopes M veins. Minerals in the K-silicate
assemblage that replace K-feldspar and biotite, such as, epidote, hematite, chlorite, and
78

81
82
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
calcite are also considered transitional because they occur in both the K-silicate and the
SCC alteration assemblages. Because B and early-KF veins are wormy and M and QOS
veins are planar, it appears that K-silicate alteration commenced in earliest stages of
intrusion when the rock behaved plastically and continued until it the rock became brittle
prior to SCC alteration. QP and P which have QSP envelopes veins are the earliest veins
which crosscut the contacts between Quartz Diorite 1 and Quartz Diorite 2. These QP
and P veins crosscut KF veins that occur in more intensely K-silicate altered Quartz
Diorite 2. Because Quartz Diorite 2 intruded the Cerro Corona stock when QSP
alteration was occurring in Quartz Diorite 1, K-silicate alteration in Quartz Diorite 2 is
interpreted to be related to this intrusive phase forming a separate event from K-silicate
alteration within Quartz Diorite 1.
3.3 SERICITE-CLAY-CHLORITE (SCC) ALTERATION
3.3.1 Introduction
Sericite-clay-chlorite (SCC) alteration was first characterized by Sillitoe and
Gappe (1984) and occurs as the principle alteration assemblage associated with
mineralization in twenty Philippine porphyry copper-gold deposits. This mineralogic
assemblage is often termed intermediate argillic and occurs in porphyry copper-gold
deposits throughout the Pacific rim such as Marte (Chile), Island Copper (Canada) and
Guinaoang (Philippines) (Vila et al, 1991; Arancibia and Clark, 1996; Sillitoe and
Angeles, 1985). SCC alteration is characterized by its distinctive pale green appearance
85
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
but is mineralogically poorly defined (Sillitoe and Gappe, 1984). The mineral
assemblage commonly associated with SCC alteration is sericite, kaolinite, smectite,
chlorite, calcite, pyrite, hematite, magnetite, and chalcopyrite. SCC altered rocks
comprise a volumetrically important part of the ore at the Cerro Corona porphyry copper-
gold deposit.
3.3.2 SCC Mineral Assemblages, Textures and Relationships
Key minerals associated with SCC alteration at Cerro Corona are chlorite,
sericite, clay, quartz, calcite, epidote, magnetite, hematite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. SCC
alteration is easily recognized at Cerro Corona due to the characteristic pale-green colour
and preserved igneous texture both in hand specimen and in thin section (Plates 3.2 and
3.16). Plagioclase phenocrysts are commonly partially or totally replaced by a greasy
pale-green to white aggregate of sericite, chlorite and clay. Textures of the relic
plagioclase crystals are commonly retained and the hiatal distribution remains obvious.
Biotite books commonly remain unaltered but are locally, partially altered to magnetite
and hematite (Plate 3.17). Hydrothermal biotite is altered to chlorite in cases of intense
SCC alteration. The groundmass is altered to an aggregate similar to that which replaces
plagioclase except it is commonly darker green and chlorite is more abundant. Other
minerals which occur in the mottled groundmass are: quartz, calcite, magnetite, hematite
and minor chalcopyrite. Quartz, calcite, chalcopyrite and pyrite dominantly occur in
veins. Magnetite, martite and hematite commonly comprise 5-15 %of the rock as small
anhedral crystal aggregates in the groundmass and in veins. The intensity of pervasive
SCC alteration ranges from weak argillization and sericitization with a faint green colour

clay has pervasively altered the groundmass and plagioclase phenocrysts but has not

plane polarized light.
87

Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
to total replacement by silicate and oxide minerals. SCC alteration intensity commonly
increases in proximity to veins and approximately correlates to vein density.
Hydrothermal biotite which partially replaces hornblende along the crystal edges
commonly remains stable, but the relic hornblende core is altered to chlorite (Plate 3.12).
Plagioclase crystals are altered to fine grained aggregates of sericite, chlorite and clay.
The grain size of sericite and chlorite increase in veins. In samples with less intense SCC
alteration, sericite-chlorite-clay groundmass partially replaces K-feldspar (Plate 3.18).
Relic crystals with minor amounts of K-feldspar occur commonly in SCC altered rocks
and are replaced by aggregates of sericite-clay-chlorite. Relic biotite books that are
replaced by sericite-chlorite-hematite-magnetite occur in samples with intense SCC
alteration. More commonly, biotite phenocrysts remain stable in SCC altered rocks.
Quartz phenocrysts remain stable in SCC altered rocks. Hematite replacement of
magnetite ranges in intensity from minor martization along crystal edges and fractures
within crystals similar to that observed in K-silicate alteration to complete replacement
which is commonly observed in SCC altered zones which contain abundant pyrite. Fine
grained, disseminated, intergrowths of magnetite and hematite commonly comprise 10 -
15 %of the rock and locally comprise 50 %in intensely altered zones. Pyrite,
chalcopyrite, magnetite and hematite are found in equilibrium. However, pyrite is more
commonly associated with hematite rather than magnetite.
Clay minerals commonly occur with sericite and chlorite but X-ray diffraction
analysis is required to determine clay mineralogy. In the field, clays were interpreted to
be comprised partially of smectite group minerals because they commonly swell when
exposed to water. Although clay minerals totally replace both the phenocrysts and the
89
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
groundmass the porphyritic texture is preserved. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to
define the clay minerals which are associated with hydrothermal alteration at Cerro
Corona. The X-ray diffraction techniques are discussed in Appendix C. Clay mixtures
sampled from SCC altered rocks are comprised dominantly of kaolinite, smectite and
sericite with a lesser component of chlorite. The occurrence of chlorite is very significant
because it did not occur in any of the QSP or OC altered samples which were analyzed
using XRD.
3.3.3 Veins Related to SCC Alteration
Veins commonly comprise 10 to 25 %of the rock in SCC altered zones.
Although all vein types occur in rocks which have been pervasively altered to the SCC
assemblage, two main types of veins are spatially associated with SCC alteration at Cerro
Corona: 1) QOS, and 2) QP veins. The presence of a SCC envelope is the main factor
used to distinguish M and QOS veins. Veins which are rich in magnetite but have SCC
alteration envelopes are considered QOS veins. Relic plagioclase occurs in SCC
alteration envelopes of magnetite rich QOS veins and it is possible that these veins were
M veins genetically associated with K-silicate alteration that have been subsequently
affected by pervasive SCC alteration (Plate 3.18).
Quartz-oxide-sulphide (QOS) veins vary greatly in their habit and mineralogy.
Quartz, magnetite, hematite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite dominate the mineralogy and
calcite, sericite and chlorite comprise a minor component of QOS veins. QOS veins
commonly occur in the following two habits: 1) a pyrite core, surrounded by quartz, with

Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
a magnetite-hematite-chalcopyrite selvage (Plates 3.7), 2) a magnetite-hematite-
chalcopyrite-pyrite core with or without a quartz selvage (Plate 4.1). Mottled veins
without systematic habits also commonly occur. Chlorite-sericite-rich envelopes occur in
proximity to QOS veins (Plate 3.19). Habit 1 QOS may have formed by the following
sequence of mineral precipitation; 1) a magnetite-hematite-chalcopyrite phase which
precipitated during initial fracture filling, 2) a quartz rich phase which commonly forms
the majority of the vein material, and 3) a final pyrite phase which comprises the vein
core. QOS veins are transitional fromM veins to QP veins, in that, they are consistent
with the progressive change from oxide-dominant to pyrite dominant mineralogy. QOS
veins crosscut KF and M veins and are crosscut by QP and P veins. QP veins occur in
SCC altered rocks and rarely occur associated with sericite-chlorite envelopes.
3.3.4 Distribution of SCC Alteration
The distribution of SCC alteration at the Cerro Corona porphyry copper-gold
deposit is illustrated in Figures 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. The SCC alteration assemblage
occurs in an irregular shaped lobe which is approximately in the center of the Cerro
Corona stock located between the 3800 and 3500 m levels. SCC alteration does not
occur in Quartz Diorite 2 and the distribution of SCC alteration is controlled by the
location of Quartz Diorite 2. Rocks affected by SCC alteration which occur lower than
the 3600 m level commonly contain KF veins. There are several areas in the lower levels
of the deposit that have pervasive SCC alteration coexisting with selective K-silicate

alteration. These zones of dual, intense SCCTK-silicate alteration are indicated on the
cross-sections and level plans by the transparent green SCC pattern overprinting the
lined-pink K-silicate pattern. Rocks effected by SCC alteration that occur above the 3700
m level are commonly also effected by later hydrothermal alteration. This overprinting in
the upper levels of the deposit will be discussed further in Section 3.5.
3.3.5 Timing of SCC Alteration
The timing of SCC alteration has been determined by the crosscutting
relationships of veins and by textural relationships between SCC assemblage minerals
and minerals from other alteration assemblages. Aggregates of sericite-chlorite-clay
replace hydrothermal K-feldspar and biotite associated with K-silicate alteration which is
interpreted to have occurred before SCC alteration (e.g. Plate 3.18). KF that have K-
feldspar-biotite envelopes are crosscut by QOS veins that have sericite-chlorite
envelopes. In zones of transition between SCC and K-silicate alteration, sericite, chlorite
and clay aggregates commonly partially replace K-feldspar. In more intensely SCC
altered rocks relic K-feldspar crystals occur in sericite-chlorite-clay groundmass and
envelopes. Further evidence that K-silicate alteration occurred prior to SCC alteration is
that hornblende is commonly partially altered to biotite along crystal edges and the cores
are altered to sericite and chlorite. It is possible that, initially the hornblende was
partially altered to biotite by weak pervasive K-silicate alteration but the core of the
crystal remained unaltered. Next, pervasive SCC alteration may have affected the
hornblende core of the crystal and replaced it with sericite-chlorite-clay while the biotite
98
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
edge remained stable. SCC alteration commonly overprints K-silicate alteration at Cerro
Corona and many veins which occur in SCC altered rocks are interpreted to have SCC
altered envelopes that resulted from the alteration of pre-existing K-silicate assemblages
because they contain relic K-feldspar crystals.
3.4 QUARTZ-SERICITE-PYRITE (QSP) ALTERATION
3.4.1 Introduction
Quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP) alteration is described in classic models for porphyry
copper deposits and is commonly termed sericitic, or phyllic alteration (Sillitoe, 1978;
Lowell and Guilbert, 1970). QSP alteration occurs in porphyry copper-gold and copper-
molybdenum deposits throughout the world such as Guinaoang (Philippines), Grasberg
(Indonesia), Island Copper (Canada), and Chuquicamata (Chile) (Sillitoe and Angeles,
1985; Van Nort et al, 1991; Arancibia and Clark, 1996; Sillitoe, 1978). QSP alteration
that occurs in porphyry copper-gold deposits in the Philippines commonly exists in the
upper levels of the deposit and is peripheral to mineralization rather than accompanying it
(Sillitoe and Gappe, 1984). QSP alteration typically comprises a texture destructive
aggregate of quartz, sericite, kaolinite and pyrite. QSP alteration effects a volumetrically
significant part of the rocks at the Cerro Corona porphyry copper-gold deposit.
3.4.2 QSP Mineral Assemblages, Textures and Relationships
The following is based on observations of drill core made in the field as well as
99
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
surface mapping. The most characteristic properties of QSP alteration at Cerro Corona
are its white colour and texture destructive replacement of the porphyritic rock. The
aggregate which replaces the rock is comprised of quartz ( 50 volume %) and sericite
( 30 volume %) with minor pyrite ( 5 volume %), calcite (5 to 15 volume %) and clay
( 10 volume %). Chalcopyrite (2 to 5 volume %) and molybdenite (trace) occur
dominantly in veins. Weakly altered rocks partially retain their intrusive texture with
plagioclase and biotite are preferentially replaced by sericite and clay while the
groundmass is replaced by quartz. The absence of biotite is also characteristic of QSP
alteration, which is the only hydrothermal alteration at Cerro Corona that commonly
replaces hydrothermal and magmatic biotite. When relic hornblende crystals are not
replaced they are comprised of biotite. This is evidence that QSP alteration overprints
pervasive K-silicate alteration. Magnetite and hematite are commonly absent from the
QSP alteration assemblage. Rarely transitional zones occur between QSP and hematite
and magnetite bearing rock. These are extremely similar to QSP altered rocks except
they contain 2 - 3 %specular hematite, have a slight orange tinge, and contain partially
replaced biotite. This alteration is interpreted to be QSP alteration with a minor relic
magnetite and hematite component. More commonly, the transition between QSP and
other alteration assemblages is very sharp and occurs over a scale of millimeters. QSP
alteration occurs selectively in envelopes around quartz-pyrite veins and large zones of
QSP alteration have consistently high concentrations of QP veins. The high density of
QP veins associated with intense zones of QSP alteration results in a competent rock over
intervals of up to several meters containing up to 90 %quartz. QSP alteration
preferentially occurs in the upper levels of the Cerro Corona stock near the current
100
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
erosional surface and forms a silicified cap of high density veining at the top of the hill.
Quartz-stockwork veins commonly occur at surface with morphologies similar to QP
veins associated with QSP alteration (Plate 3.20).
The following is based on transmitted and reflected light analysis of polished-thin
sections of QSP altered rock. Quartz comprises 50 %and locally up to 90 %of QSP
altered rock. Quartz occurs replacing the igneous rock and in veins. Quartz is the only
mineral which forms a primary magmatic phenocryst that remains stable in QSP altered
rocks. Sericite, clay and calcite occur interstitially with quartz. The grain size of sericite
increases when it occurs replacing plagioclase and biotite. In less intensely altered
samples, sericite crystals occur as parallel aggregates when they replace biotite and
irregular aggregates when replacing plagioclase (Plate 3.21). Pyrite is commonly
disseminated and contains trace hematite and magnetite inclusions. Clay mixtures from
QSP altered samples determined using X-ray diffraction analysis are dominated by
sericite with kaolinite, and minor smectite (Appendix C). The sericite component of fine
grained clay aggregates in QSP altered samples is proportionally higher than the OC and
SCC altered samples.
3.4.3 Veins Related to QSP Alteration
Quartz veins commonly comprise 15 - 25 %of QSP altered rock at Cerro Corona.
QSP alteration commonly occurs as very intense selective replacement proximal to QP
and P veins. Other earlier veins occur only rarely in QSP altered zones. Quartz-pyrite
(QP) are interpreted to be genetically associated with QSP alteration because QP veins

Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
which contain very little or no magnetite and hematite commonly have strong, texture-
destructive quartz-sericite envelopes. Chalcopyrite, molybdenite, sericite, and calcite
occur in QP veins associated with QSP alteration. Two main types of QP veins occur at
Cerro Corona, early QP veins and late QP veins. Early QP veins consist of a small pyrite
core (<15 volume %) with a large quartz selvage. Late QP veins have higher have a
larger pyrite core and a smaller quartz selvage than early QP veins. Late QP veins
commonly have a quartz:pyrite ratio of 1. Late QP veins commonly crosscut early QP
veins. Some QP veins contain no pyrite and are comprised of quartz with a thin sericite
core and are crosscut by late QP veins. Zones with high concentrations of these veins
typically have low concentrations of disseminated pyrite. QP veins occur commonly in
QSP altered rock and locally comprises 50 %of the rock over length of several meters.
QP veins are the thickest veins which occur at Cerro Corona. Aggregates of QP veins
which crosscut each other, form sections comprised completely of vein material that are
up to several meters in thickness. QP veins commonly form stockwork zones which are
more resistive and comprise the top of the hill formed by the Cerro Corona stock. QP
veins crosscut KF veins and commonly crosscut M and QOS veins. M and QOS veins
rarely crosscut QP veins. QP veins are crosscut by P and C veins.
Pyrite (P) veins occur throughout Cerro Corona. P veins occur in rocks which
have been effected by all alteration assemblages and commonly comprise 3 to 5 %of the
quartz diorite. P veins are straight, 5 to 30 mm wide, and comprised of pyrite with minor
chalcopyrite and calcite. P veins have texture destructive QSP alteration envelopes and
are interpreted to be genetically associated with QSP alteration. P veins also have
sericite-clay envelopes that are not texture destructive (Plate 3.9). P veins are interpreted
104
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
to have formed at the end of the QSP alteration phase because QSP alteration envelopes
of P veins are less intense and less pervasive than the QSP alteration envelopes of QP
veins which they crosscut. P veins crosscut all veins except C veins.
Calcite (C) veins are the final veins which occur at Cerro Corona. C veins are
moderately planar with their changes in direction angular rather than undulatory. C veins
range from 5 to 15mm wide, are comprised of calcite and have no obvious alteration
envelopes. The concentration of calcite in QSP altered rocks increases with proximity to
C veins. C veins crosscut all other vein types at Cerro Corona. Because C veins do not
have alteration envelopes, their timing relationship with QSP alteration is ambiguous.
QSP alteration contains abundant calcite and rocks which are QSP altered contain up to
15 volume %calcite. C veins may have occurred during the QSP alteration assemblage.
However, if P veins were formed near the end of the QSP alteration phase when it was
less intense, then C veins were formed at the end of the QSP alteration phase or after
because C veins crosscut P veins.
3.4.4 Distribution of QSP Alteration
The distribution of QSP alteration is illustrated in Figures 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and
3.12. Rocks that are QSP altered form a lobe that occurs sub-parallel to the line of cross-
section 7x. The irregularly shaped lobe occurs in the upper levels of the stock and dips
steeply to the north-west. QSP alteration within this area varies from strong to weak, the

intensity being proportional to the concentration of QP veins. Areas on the cross-sections
and level plans that have the blue QSP pattern overprinted on the green SCC pattern
indicate rocks with interlayered zones of SCC and QSP alteration. The distribution of
this zone of QSP alteration has two main characteristics: 1) it does not occur in Quartz
Diorite 2; and 2) it occurs in the upper part of the deposit above the SCC altered rocks.
Large areas of strong QSP alteration do not occur below the 3700m level, however, small
zones of QSP altered rock occur at depth. Small intersections, up to 5m in length, of
intense QSP alteration occur throughout the deposit. These zones commonly occur
parallel to large (up to 3m wide) steeply dipping (>60) aggregates of QP veins and the
rock is selectively replaced in envelopes around QP veins or vein aggregates. Steeply
dipping faults occur sub-parallel to small QSP altered zones which occur below the
3700m level of the Cerro Corona stock. Because these small QSP zones occur parallel to
steeply dipping aggregates of QP veins and faults they are interpreted to be small
offshoots of the large lobe of QSP alteration occurs above the 3700m level with their
distribution controlled by the structures which also host QP veins. Based on the presence
of relic QP veins, much of the stockwork material which occurs at or near surface that is
affected by supergene alteration is interpreted to have been QSP altered.
3.4.5 Timing of QSP Alteration
The timing of QSP alteration is determined by crosscutting relationship of veins
and the textural relationships between alteration minerals. Aggregates of sericite-clay
replace hydrothermal K-feldspar and biotite related to K-silicate alteration which is
110
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
interpreted to have occurred before QSP alteration. QP and P veins which have QSP vein
envelopes and commonly crosscut QOS veins which have SCC vein envelopes (e.g. Plate
3.9). The resulting white colour of QSP alteration contrasts markedly with the green hue
of the SCC alteration, upon which it was superimposed, in zones from 1 cm to several
tens of meters wide. The transition between SCC and QSP alteration occurred both
temporally and spatially. The majority of veins associated with QSP alteration crosscut
veins associated with SCC alteration. The large lobe of QSP alteration occurs above the
3700m level with the SCC altered rocks below it. Cross-section 7x illustrates how the
zone of QSP alteration is draped over Quartz Diorite 2 and SCC altered rocks. It is
possible that QSP alteration started in the upper levels of the deposit while SCC alteration
was still occurring at depth. This may explain why QP veins are rarely crosscut by
Magnetite and QOS veins. QSP alteration therefore may be spatially separate from the
bulk of SCC alteration, but temporally QSP alteration may have overlapped SCC
alteration.
3.5 ORANGE CLAY (OC) ALTERATION
3.5.1 Introduction
The final alteration at Cerro Corona is termed the Orange Clay (OC) alteration
assemblage and is characterized in the field by its distinctive orange colour and high clay
content. OC alteration is very common throughout much of the Cerro Corona stock
above the 3600m level and is characterize by bright orange clay alteration of the quartz
111
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
diorite which is commonly reduced to rubble in drill core (Plate 3.22). The clay
mineralogy was defined using XRD and consists of equal proportions of smectite,
kaolinite and sericite. The wide range of distribution and easily recognizable appearance
of OC alteration coupled with the fact that it occurs in many of the highest grade
intersections of cross-sections 70 and 7x raised important questions regarding its origin
and genetic association with mineralization.
3.5.2 OC Mineral Assemblages, Textures and Relationships
The following is based on observations on drill core made in the field. OC
alteration is difficult to log because its high clay content commonly reduces drill core to
rubble. The porphyritic texture of the rock is preserved and all plagioclase, groundmass,
and all hydrothermal silicate minerals except biotite and quartz are altered to a rusty-
orange mixture (Plate 3.4). Biotite books remain stable even in intense OC alteration
when the entire rock is reduced to rubble. The intensity of OC alteration varies from
weak argillization with a pale orange colour overprinted on older hydrothermal alteration
assemblages to complete argillization of phenocrysts and groundmass. The colour varies
from orange to red and the edges of plagioclase phenocrysts are commonly more red than
their cores. In some cases the orange colour of the rock became more pervasive and
intense after being cut, washed and exposed to air. In the field, smectite was interpreted
to be an important component in the mixture of clay which replaces plagioclase and the
groundmass because OC alteration swells when exposed to water more commonly than
SCC or QSP altered samples. High concentrations of Magnetite, QOS, QP, Pyrite, and C
veins commonly occur in OC altered rock (Plates 3.7, 3.8, and 3.10). Rocks which are

nicols.

113
114
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
pervasively argillically altered but do not contain Magnetite or QOS veins are not orange
but pale grey to white. Quartz Diorite 2 which is locally effected by orange clay
alteration contains no magnetite or hematite bearing veins but has 2 %magmatic
magnetite preserved in the rock. In weak OC alteration, the orange color becomes more
intense in proximity to M and QOS veins (Plate 3.23). It is possible that the zones of
white argillic alteration are similar to OC alteration in all respects except that it is not
stained orange by destruction of hypogene iron oxide minerals.
The use of transmitted light petrography in determining the OC alteration
assemblage was limited because of the difficulty in preparing thin sections from strongly
argillized material and because the optical properties of clays are not definitive.
However, some relationships were defined between clays and other minerals. The
intensity of orange colour in OC increases in proximity to aggregates of magnetite-
hematite. Hydrothermal and magmatic biotite remain stable as well as magnetite,
hematite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite.
X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the clay mixture which
comprises OC alteration (Appendix C). Several samples with varying degrees of orange
colour and swelling properties were analyzed. The sample (CCD 198-141) which swelled
the most when exposed to water is comprised dominantly of smectite with minor
kaolinite and sericite. The other samples have approximately equal proportions of
kaolinite, smectite and sericite. Samples (CCD 63-258.3 and CCD 225-108) taken from
white argillically altered zones which contain only minor amounts of magnetite and
hematite consist of approximately equal amount of smectite, kaolinite and sericite, and
are interpreted to be genetically associated with OC alteration because the mineralogy
115
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
with is similar to OC altered samples. Clay associated with OC alteration are interpreted
to contain a higher proportion of smectite than clays associated with SCC or QSP
alteration because of the increased occurrence of swelling clay in OC altered rocks
observed in the field and high proportion of smectite determined in OC altered samples
using XRD analysis.
3.5.3 Distribution of OC Alteration
The distribution of OC alteration is illustrated on Figures 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, and
3.16. OC alteration occurs in a large lobe which occurs throughout the Cerro Corona
stock approximately 80m from the surface down to the 3600m level. OC alteration is not
commonly observed in Quartz Diorite 2 but its distribution in Quartz Diorite 2 is not well
defined because of the low density of drill which occur in the north half of the Cerro
Corona stock where Quartz Diorite 2 dominates the geology. The OC alteration lobe
overlaps and extends up from the SCC alteration lobe. Orange and green OC/SCC
altered rock is illustrated in the level plans and cross-sections by the OC orange pattern
overprinting the SCC green pattern. Areas that have the OC orange pattern overprinting
the blue QSP pattern indicate zones of interlayered QSP and OC alteration.
3.5.4 Timing of OC Alteration
Textural relationships between OC and other hydrothermal assemblages are
difficult to discern because of the strong argillization associated with OC alteration. OC

alteration affects Quartz Diorite 2 which crosscuts KF, M, and QOS veins associated with
K-silicate and SCC alteration and is interpreted to overprint K-silicate and SCC. Further
evidence that OC alteration overprints rocks affected by pervasive K-silicate alteration is
that OC altered rocks contain relic primary hornblende phenocrysts that are replaced by
biotite. KF veins exist in rock that is weakly effected by OC alteration below the 3700m
level on cross-section 70.
OC alteration is closely related to SCC alteration and these two assemblages are
commonly observed in many different textural relationships. In the most common
overlapping occurrence of the two assemblages, sericite-clay-chlorite occurs in the cores
of relic plagioclase phenocrysts and in envelopes proximal to Magnetite and QOS veins
while pervasive OC alteration replaces the groundmass and the exterior rim of relic
plagioclase crystals. Varying degrees of intensity of OC alteration produces rocks which
range from mottled green and orange to dark orange-brown to bright rusty-orange. The
increased intensity of orange coloration of the clay in proximity to Magnetite and QOS
veins is interpreted to be because the source of the colour is magnetite and hematite.
The QP veins which crosscut Quartz Diorite 2 are rare and less than 10mm wide
including the visible QSP alteration envelope. The P veins locally comprise up to 3
volume %of Quartz Diorite 2 but do not have strong envelopes. QSP alteration was
occurring in Quartz Diorite 1 when Quartz Diorite 2 intruded the Cerro Corona stock but
it is interpreted to have been in its terminal stages because of the small number of QP
veins and low intensity and pervasiveness of QSP alteration which occur in Quartz
Diorite 2. OC alteration occurs with strong intensity in Quartz Diorite 2. It is possible
that QSP alteration was affected by OC alteration which is white due to the lack of oxide
121
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
minerals which occur in QSP altered rocks. This relationship is difficult to prove because
the strong silicification and quartz veining associated with QSP alteration is not effected
by OC alteration and clays associated with QSP alteration cannot be discerned from clays
generated by OC alteration. Smectite, which is a dominant component to OC alteration
but not exclusive to it, occurred in all QSP altered samples analyzed by XRD. It is
possible that QSP alteration has a smectite component, but, smectite is also added when
OC alteration affects QSP altered rocks. Rare QSP altered rocks occur with >2%
magnetite and hematite which are pale orange. However, in many cases QSP envelopes
around P veins appear stable. The sharp contact between pervasive OC alteration
coloured rock and the sericite clay (QSP) envelopes of P veins are very similar to the
sharp contacts which occur between pervasive green SCC altered rock and the QSP
envelopes P veins. In these circumstances it appears that OC alteration selectively
replaces SCC altered rock but does not effect QSP altered rock. In more pervasive QSP
altered rocks the contact between QSP and OC alteration is commonly very sharp: white,
texture-destructive QSP alteration contrasts with the dark orange OC alteration with
preserved porphyritic texture (Plate 3.24).
Post-mineralization clay alteration often occurs in porphyry deposits but is rarely
described in detail. Examples of argillization of porphyry copper-gold deposits include
Marte (Vila et al, 1991) and Ok Tedi (personal observation, 1996). OC alteration at
Cerro Corona postdates all intrusive activity and probably all veining. OC alteration is
interpreted to have occurred after mineralization and did not remobilize Au or Cu, this
will be discussed further in Chapter 4.

Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
3.6 WALLROCK ALTERATION
The limestone which hosts the Cerro Corona stock is commonly altered within
10m of the contact with quartz diorite. The formation of marble and decalcification are
two common characteristics of altered limestone. Decalcification was identified in the
field by samples which did not effervesce at all when exposed to 10%HC1. Marble
ranges from brown to green to grey in colour and commonly has a mottled texture.
Decalcified limestone and marble commonly range from dark to light grey. The
formation of exoskarns is characterized by mottled texture and coloured rocks comprised
of epidote, chlorite, sericite, and calcite. Altered limestone commonly contains up to 3 to
5 %C veins as well as trace QOS and QP veins. Brecciation of limestone and marble
occurs locally with the matrix commonly comprised of calcite, ground limestone and fine
grained quartz diorite.
3.7 PARAGENESIS
The paragenetic sequence of mineral formation of hydrothermal alteration which
has been interpreted at Cerro Corona is illustrated in Figure 3.7. The earliest mineral
which is interpreted to be associated with hydrothermal alteration is biotite which occurs
in veins. The timing of pervasive biotization of magmatic hornblende is difficult to
determine, however it is likely to have occurred concurrently with the formation of B and
KF veins. The next mineral in the sequence is K-feldspar which occurs pervasively and
in early KF veins with quartz, biotite, chalcopyrite, bornite, and magnetite. Hematite and
125
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
pyrite first occur in late KF veins which crosscut early KF veins. M veins begin to form
during K-silicate alteration. Epidote, chlorite and calcite replace K-feldspar and biotite in
KF veins and occur in the vein selvages of late KF veins. The occurrence of these
minerals is interpreted to have happened at the end of the K-silicate alteration phase. It is
possible that epidote, chlorite and calcite formed at a later time (with SCC alteration) and
they occur spatially associated with KF veins because they selectively replace K-silicate
alteration minerals. Pervasive formation of K-feldspar and biotite and the formation of
KF veins terminates and marks the end of the K-silicate alteration phase.
The commencement of the SCC alteration phase is marked by the occurrence of
pervasive sericite, chlorite and clay genetically associated with and QOS veins which
contain quartz, magnetite, chalcopyrite, pyrite and hematite. Minor bornite and epidote
occur in M veins which are interpreted to stop forming during the SCC alteration
assemblage. SCC alteration affects rocks which dominantly occur above the 3500m level
in the Cerro Corona stock. The great majority of QP veins crosscut QOS veins however,
rare QP veins (associated with QSP alteration) are crosscut by QOS veins (associated
with SCC alteration). QSP alteration is interpreted to have commenced and affected
rocks above the 3700m level at the same time as SCC alteration affected rocks below the
3700m. QP and P veins crosscut Quartz Diorite 2 while QOS veins do not and QSP
alteration is interpreted to have continued after SCC alteration. The overlap between the
end of SCC alteration and the beginning of QSP alteration explains the mineralogical
change which marks the end of SCC is the absence of pervasive chlorite and the absence
of magnetite and hematite in veins. QSP alteration is marked by the occurrence of QP
veins and pervasive, texture-destructive precipitation of quartz, sericite, pyrite and
126
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
calcite. Quartz Diorite 2 intruded the Cerro Corona stock during the QSP alteration
phase but, after the SCC alteration phase. Pervasive biotite alteration and KF veins
occurred in Quartz Diorite 2 at this time. Quartz Diorite 2 is crosscut by QP, Pyrite, and
C veins. C veins are interpreted to have dominantly occurred after the QSP alteration
phase terminated.
The OC alteration mineral assemblage contains proportionally more smectite than
SCC and QSP alteration assemblages. A smectite-sericite-kaolinite alteration
assemblage is interpreted by Browne (1978) to occur between 100 and 200C from
empirical evidence of drill holes in geothermal systems in Japan. The smectite-sericite-
kaolinite assemblage occurs in a lower temperature and higher pH (weak acid)
environment than a sericite-pyrite-quartz assemblage which occurs between 150 and
250C in an acid environment (Browne, 1978). The OC alteration assemblage is
interpreted to have occurred as result of a late, low temperature, near neutral pH
alteration phase at Cerro Corona. The pervasive precipitation of orange clay is
interpreted to have occurred after all other alteration, veining and intrusion of magmatic
bodies at Cerro Corona.
Geothermal systems in the Philippines that have conditions including,
temperature, fluid composition, permeability and rock type which are comparable to
those which may have occurred at Cerro Corona have been drilled, and temperature
ranges for several minerals which occur at Cerro Corona have been determined by Reyes
(1990). Smectite which dominates the OC alteration assemblage occurs in near neutral
conditions from 30 to 180C and chlorite which is characteristic to SCC alteration occurs
in near neutral pH conditions above 120C (Reyes, 1990). K-feldspar and biotite which
127
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
are characteristic to the K-silicate alteration assemblage occur in weak acid conditions
above 280C.
3.8 SUMMARY
There are four main hydrothermal alteration assemblages which occur at Cerro
Corona: 1) K-silicate, 2) SCC, 3) QSP and 4) OC. K-silicate is the earliest assemblage
which occurs and is genetically associated with the earliest veins at Cerro Corona
(Biotite, K-feldspar and Magnetite).
The timing of SCC alteration and K-silicate alteration is indicated by two
relationships: l)K-feldspar is replaced by sericite, chlorite and clay; and 2) QOS veins
genetically and spatially related to SCC alteration crosscut K-silicate and M veins which
are genetically and spatially associated with K-silicate alteration.
QP and P veins genetically and spatially associated with QSP alteration which
crosscut KF and M veins associated with K-silicate alteration indicating that QSP
alteration followed K-silicate alteration. QSP alteration dominantly occurred after SCC
alteration demonstrated by QSP envelopes of QP and P veins which overprint SCC
alteration.
SCC assemblage minerals are commonly replaced by orange clay. OC alteration
occurred after QSP alteration because magnetite-hematite bearing QSP altered rock that
has weak orange colour. OC alteration is interpreted to be a late stage argillic alteration
which has orange colour leached from hypogene iron oxide minerals.
Figure 3.17 is a schematic diagram which summarizes the hydrothermal veining
128
Chapter 3 Alteration and Veining
and associated alteration envelopes which occur at Cerro Corona. B veins are the earliest
which occur at Cerro Corona and are cross cut by KF veins. Early-KF veins have strong
K-feldspar envelopes contain K-feldspar, quartz, chalcopyrite, bornite and magnetite and
are crosscut by M veins. Quartz-poor M veins have K-feldspar envelopes and contain
chalcopyrite and rare pyrite. M veins are crosscut by QOS veins comprised of magnetite,
hematite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and quartz veins which are associated with SCC alteration.
QOS veins are crosscut by QP veins that consist of quartz, pyrite and chalcopyrite and
commonly have strong QSP alteration envelopes. P veins crosscut QP veins and
commonly have less intense QSP alteration envelopes. C veins are last and crosscut all
other veins at Cerro Corona.

Chapter 4 Mineralization
4.0 MINERALIZATION
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Mineralization occurs throughout the igneous rocks at Cerro Corona and is
divided into four main groups: 1) Quartz Diorite 1, which hosts all significant
mineralization; 2) Quartz Diorite 2, which is very weakly mineralized and below ore
grade; 3) oxide cap; and 4) supergene mineralization. Rare mineralization occurs in the
limestone country rock within 3 m of the contacts with igneous rock. This chapter
focuses on the style an distribution of hypogene mineralization.
Barrick Gold Corporation delineated a proven mining reserve of 91 million metric
tonnes of 1.05 ppm Au and 0.51 %Cu with a combined cutoff grade of 0.25 ppm Au and
0.25 %Cu (Thiersch, 1995). These concentrations are used as cutoffs to outline the
distribution of an envelope of the orebody on cross sections 7x and 70 (Figures 4.1 and
4.2). Economically significant mineralization (Au >0.25ppm and Cu >0.25 %)
mineralization occurs throughout Quartz Diorite 1 above the 3500 m level. Because
economically significant mineralization occurs only in quartz Diorite 1 the main
constraint on the distribution of economically significant mineralization at Cerro Corona
is the distribution of Quartz Diorite 1. Economically significant mineralization does not
occur in Quartz Diorite 2 or in the limestone country rock surrounding the Cerro Corona
stock.
The oxide cap mineralization occurs in a zone termed the oxide cap which is sub-
parallel to the surface of the stock and is up to tens of meters in thick. The oxide cap
131
Chapter 4 Mineralization
locally is thicker in the center of the stock at the peak of Cerro Corona. Oxide
mineralization is characterized by replacement of hypogene sulphide and oxide minerals
in veins and the groundmass by supergene oxide minerals comprised of limonite,
hematite and magnetite which contribute to the red-orange colour of the oxide cap.
Quartz diorite in the oxide cap is altered completely to clay which commonly ranges from
red to orange. In drill core, oxide cap rock is commonly comprised of quartz stockwork
which form the walls of vugs from where altered quartz diorite has been partially eroded.
This hinders recognition of the style of alteration and hence definitive alteration
assemblages are rarely defined in the oxide cap. However, a significant proportion of the
oxide cap is interpreted to be QSP altered due to strong silicification and the occurrence
of high concentrations of oxidized QP veins. Cu characteristically is leached from the
oxide cap and Cu concentrations are commonly less than 0.1 %. The Au concentration in
the oxide cap is variable and occurs predominantly at grades similar to those in hypogene
mineralization. However, several drill holes such as CCD 249, CCD 228 and CCD 202
intersected oxide caps with Au concentrations that are relatively higher than the Au
concentrations in the supergene affected rocks and underlying hypogene mineralized
rocks. It is possible that the oxide cap was locally enriched in Au either physically, by
mechanical concentration during erosion, or chemically, by a supergene fluid (In pocket).
Supergene zone mineralization is characterized by the presence of supergene Cu
minerals covellite and chalcocite which commonly rim hypogene sulphide minerals. The
supergene zone illustrated on Figures 4.1 and 4.2 designates the main area where
supergene minerals occur. This zone is sub-parallel to the surface of the stock and is
commonly 30 to 40 m thick. Other supergene mineralization occurs in irregular zones at
132
133
CM

Chapter 4 Mineralization
depth within the stock that may be related to structures that control fluid flow. Supergene
altered rock is characteristically white to light, blue-grey in colour and clays dominate the
supergene alteration mineralogy in the quartz diorite. Supergene altered rocks commonly
are interpreted to have a QSP altered protolith.
4.2 HYPOGENE VEIN MINERALOGY
The mineralogy of the vein types which occur at Cerro Corona is described in
Chapter 3, however, more description of opaque mineralogy is required for
further understanding of the timing and genesis of Au and Cu mineralization.
Magnetite, hematite, pyrite and chalcopyrite are the dominant opaque minerals
which occur at Cerro Corona. Relationships of these opaque minerals are
observed in crosscutting veins, within veins, and in the groundmass. The
hypogene Cu mineralization at Cerro Corona is hosted dominantly by
chalcopyrite and subordinately by bornite. Au occurring in chalcopyrite
concentrates analyzed in metallurgical studies by Barrick Gold Corp. is
interpreted to be dominantly hosted by chalcopyrite (Roditis, Y.,pers. comm.).
Free Au has never been observed at Cerro Corona in hand specimen, thin-section
or with the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Four thin sections taken from
rock which had average Au concentrations between 1 and 5ppm over 2m were
analyzed using the SEM to determine the mineral location of Au. No Au peaks
were observed while analyzing disseminated and vein hosted sulphide and oxide
minerals. It is not surprising that the Au could not be located because the samples
135
Chapter 4 Mineralization
contain less than 5ppm Au over a 2m interval which would correspond with
approximately 50ppm in chalcopyrite, assuming this is the main host for Au and a
Cu (%): Au (ppm) ratio of 0.5. The detection limit of the SEM for Au is
approximately lOOppm (Raudsepp, M.,pers, comm.).
The earliest oxides which occur at Cerro Corona are anhedral magnetite crystals
which occur in the groundmass and are interpreted to be primary igneous crystals because
they occur disseminated in the groundmass of the least altered samples of Quartz Diorite
2. Hematite occurs in fractures and on crystal edges of magnetite and is interpreted to be
a product of subsequent hydrothermal alteration. The earliest veins which contain
significant oxide or sulphide minerals are KF veins. Chalcopyrite and bornite commonly
comprise 5 to 15 %of KF veins. Chalcopyrite and bornite are commonly occur together
as intergrowths in the cores of early KF veins and are interpreted to have grown in
equilibrium. Bornite occurs more commonly in early KF veins than in late KF veins.
Magnetite commonly comprises up to 10 %of late KF veins and occurs both in vein
cores and in vein selvages. Hematite observed in KF veins always occurs proximal to
magnetite in fractures and along crystal edges. Hematite which occurs in KF veins is not
interpreted to be primary but is dominantly interpreted as martite and a product of
alteration of magmatic and hydrothermal magnetite.
Quartz-poor M veins commonly consist entirely of magnetite which occurs as
planar aggregates 3 to 10mm in width. Chalcopyrite may comprise up 10%of quartz-
poor and quartz-rich M veins and commonly occurs in irregular aggregates up to 3mm
across. Bornite occurs rarely in M veins with chalcopyrite. Sulphide and oxide minerals
dominantly occur in the center of quartz-rich M veins with lesser amounts in the selvage.
136
Chapter 4 Mineralization
Bladed hematite crystals commonly comprise up to 5%quartz-rich M veins and
commonly are intergrown with magnetite. Because of their habit, bladed hematite
crystals are interpreted to be precipitated from hypogene fluids associated with
mineralization rather than the product of the alteration of magnetite. Pyrite rarely occurs
in the center of quartz-rich M veins but does not comprise more than 5 volume %of M
veins.
Two types of QOS veins occur: 1) a pyrite core surrounded by quartz and a
selvage dominated by magnetite and hematite and, 2) a core comprised of oxide and
sulphide minerals with or without a quartz selvage. Chalcopyrite commonly comprises
up to 10%of QOS veins. Chalcopyrite commonly occurs disseminated in the quartz and
magnetite selvages but rarely in the pyrite cores of type 1 QOS veins. However,
chalcopyrite occurs in intergrown with magnetite, hematite, and pyrite in the cores of
type 2 QOS veins (Plate 4.1). The abundance of pyrite varies in QOS veins from 5 to
25%. Hematite occurs in fine grained aggregates of martite proximal to magnetite, and as
bladed crystals. In aggregates of oxide minerals, hematite is commonly the mineral in
contact with pyrite. Chalcopyrite consistently occurs in immediate proximity to magnetite
and hematite in QOS veins. An overall trend occurs with the development of QOS veins.
Early QOS veins contain abundant magnetite and hematite with only minor pyrite, and
late QOS veins contain abundant pyrite with lesser magnetite and hematite. The
concentration of chalcopyrite does not vary significantly between early and late QOS
veins. In type 1 QOS veins, magnetite, hematite and chalcopyrite are interpreted to have
formed the early vein core which was infilled with quartz and finally pyrite. In type 2
QOS veins, pyrite is interpreted to have precipitated synchronously with chalcopyrite,

hematite and magnetite because all these minerals are observed intergrown and in
apparent equilibrium (Plate 4.2). Trace amounts of sphalerite were observed in QOS
veins using the SEM, these occur as very fine grained disseminations in chalcopyrite.
QP veins are dominated by quartz, pyrite and minor chalcopyrite. Early QP veins
contain less than 10%pyrite and late QP veins commonly contain 50%pyrite. Magnetite
and hematite comprise up to 5%of early QP veins and occur in the vein core with pyrite
and chalcopyrite. Chalcopyrite comprises up to 5%of QP veins and commonly occurs
with pyrite. Chalcopyrite occurs infilling fractures in pyrite crystals (Plate 4.3). It is
possible the chalcopyrite was precipitated after the pyrite crystal had formed and
fractured. It is also possible that preexisting chalcopyrite was remobilized when the
pyrite crystal was fractured and reprecipitated in those fractures. Trace amounts of
molybdenite occur in QP veins. P veins are commonly comprised of only pyrite, but
chalcopyrite may comprise up to 10%of these veins.
The transition between rock dominated by oxide minerals and rock dominated
by sulphide minerals can occur over a space of millimeters at Cerro Corona (Plate 4.4).
Knife sharp contacts are observed between massive oxide material and massive sulphide
material.
4.3 DISTRIBUTION OF MINERALIZATION
The outline of the orebody is approximately defined on cross-sections 7x and 70 by the
similar outlines of the areas with significant Au (>0.25pmm) and Cu (>0.25 %)
mineralization. The zones of Au >0.25ppm continue to the surface of the Cerro Corona

with quartz veins on the left hand side and semi-massive pyrite in QSP altered rock on the

stock. The upper limit of the zones of Cu >0.25 %occurs at the contact with the oxide
cap. Oxide cap material which contains significant Au mineralization and trace Cu
concentrations may be of economic interest because of the lower relative cost of Au
extraction (cyanide leach) from oxidized rock.
The orebody contains all of the hypogene alteration assemblages defined in
Chapter 3. Significant mineralization occurs only in the upper portion of the K-silicate
altered lobe. A large majority of SCC alteration contains significant mineralization. QSP
alteration commonly contains significant mineralization and occurs dominantly in the
upper levels of the deposit. Thus, supergene processes and mineralization commonly
affect it. OC altered rocks commonly contain significant mineralization except when
they occur in Quartz Diorite 2. The distribution of significant mineralization and its
relationship with rock type and alteration is shown on the level plans by the use of bubble
plots displaying the relative Au and Cu concentrations of samples and their locations. Au
and Cu bubble plots were created for the 3800m, 3700m, 3600m, and 3500m level plans
with the bubbles located on the UTM grid where vertical diamond drill holes pierce the
level (Figures 4.3 and 4.4). The locations of the pierce points are estimated from the
surface location of the drill hole and do not account for possible drift of the hole with
depth. Most of the vertical holes were logged for 20m intervals centered at each level
and form the basis for the interpretation of the distribution of hydrothermal alteration on
the level plans. The bubbles were constructed using the following procedure: average
concentrations for Au and Cu were calculated for a ten meter interval centered on each
level for each vertical diamond drill hole from five 2m samples. The average Au and Cu

concentrations of these intervals were transformed to bubble score values in which, the
highest score is the 10m interval with the highest average grade and lowest score is the
10m interval with the lowest average grade (C.R. Stanley, 1997, pers. comm.). The score
transformation is:
((Y - Y^VCY^x - Y^))
2
+ 0.01
where Y = average concentration of Au or Cu for the 10m sample interval; for Au Yma
X
=
6.43ppm andY ^ = O.Olppm and for Cu Ymax = 2.86 %and Ymin = 0.001 %. In bubble
plots created in Microsoft Excel, the largest bubble represents the pierce point with the
highest average concentration over 10m and the smallest bubble represents the pierce
point with the lowest average concentration over 10m. The vertical drill hole database
was subject to various transforms for Au and Cu concentrations which were then made
into bubble plots and compared with each other and non-transformed data for increased
contrast between significant and non-significant mineralization. The highest visual
contrast observed in the bubbles plots for Au data occurred after the data had been
subject to a root transformY = (X)
1/2
where X = Au in ppm. The root transform was
used on Au data for the bubble plots on all level plans. The transform that created the
highest contrast in bubble plots for Cu concentration is termed a linear transform (C. R.
Stanley, 1997, pers. comm.). The linear transform used on Cu data is:
Y = Arcsine((X/100)
,/2
)
where X = Cu concentration in %. Several trends are interpreted in Au and Cu
concentrations relative to depth, host rock unit and alteration assemblage. The intervals
with the lowest concentrations of Au and Cu occur in Quartz Diorite 2 and in the
limestone country rock. In Quartz Diorite 1, there is a general decrease in Au and Cu
146
Chapter 4 Mineralization
concentrations with increase in depth. The five highest Au concentrations are located on
the 3800m level. Two intervals which occur on the 3800m level, centered approximately
at 2450 north on the UTM grid have Cu concentrations which are significantly higher
than all other intervals. These Cu rich intervals occur less than 50m from surface and are
interpreted to contain supergene Cu mineralization. Several other intervals on the 3800m
level, which occur near the perimeter of the intrusion also occur close to the surface and
may contain supergene Cu mineralization.
An approximate estimate of the Au/Cu ratio of an interval relative to other
intervals can be made by comparing the relative sizes of their Au and Cu bubbles.
Several intervals which occur on the 3800m and 3700m levels, which are termed high
Au/Cu ratio intervals, have Au concentration bubbles that are larger than their Cu
concentration bubbles. Only one interval on the 3600m and 3500m levels is a high
Au/Cu ratio interval. The two trends interpreted from Au-Cu bubble plots on level plans;
1) decreasing Au and Cu concentrations with increasing depth, and, 2) decreasing Au/Cu
ratio with increasing depth, bear similarities with trends in distribution of alteration
assemblages. The 3500m level contains many of the intervals in Quartz Diorite 1 with
the lowest concentrations of Au and Cu is dominated by K-silicate alteration. The great
majority of the intervals which occur in K-silicate altered rocks have Au and Cu
concentrations which are low relative to the other intervals. The intervals with the
highest Au concentrations occur in OC altered rocks and the great majority of intervals
with high Au/Cu ratios occur in OC altered rocks. Two main relationships between
mineralization and alteration are interpreted using assay data from vertical diamond drill
holes: 1) high grade mineralization dominantly occurs in SCC, QSP and OC altered rock
147
Chapter 4 Mineralization
and, 2) OC altered rocks contain many intervals with high Au and Cu concentrations and
high Au/Cu ratios.
More quantitative analysis of trends in Au and Cu concentrations and Au/Cu
ratios versus depth are carried out by plotting Au versus Cu and characterizing the
samples by depth. Figure 4.5 illustrates the Au and Cu concentrations of all samples
from vertical diamond drill holes within a 10m interval centered on each level. Samples
from the 3900m level contain significant Au concentrations but only trace concentrations
of Cu and have been oxidized. The great majority of samples which contain greater than
2ppm Au occur on the 3800m level. Many of these samples also have high Au/Cu ratios
relative to rest of the data. The majority of samples from the 3500m level have less than
lppm Au and 0.5 %Cu. Au and Cu concentrations are plotted versus depth to interpret
mineralization trends relative to depth in areas located between levels (Figure 4.6).
Oxide cap samples with significant Au concentrations but only trace Cu concentration
occur above 3900m. Several zones with enriched Cu concentrations occur between the
3900m and 3800m levels which are interpreted to contain supergene Cu mineralization.
There is an overall decrease in Au and Cu concentrations with increasing depth. The
great majority of samples with >2ppm Au occur between the 3900m and 3700m levels.
It is interpreted that an area comprised of the rock with the highest Au concentrations and
highest Au/Cu ratios is located in a 200m thick zone approximately centered on the
3800m level. Although some obvious trends between mineralization and depth occur at
Cerro Corona, trends between mineralization and the distribution of alteration
assemblages are more subtle, and determining these trends will require an approach
which synchronously interprets drill logs and assay data.

4.4 MINERALIZATION AND ALTERATION ASSEMBLAGES
The database which is used to explore the relationship between mineralization and
the occurrence of different alteration assemblages is termed the logassay database. It is
comprised of the Au and Cu concentrations and the intensity of alteration for every 2m
interval from the 15 diamond drill holes that were logged (Appendix A). Figure 4.7 plots
the Au (ppm) concentration versus Cu concentration (%) for all samples from the
logassay database. The data were classified into the four genetic mineralization groups
using the drill logs: Quartz Diorite 1, Quartz Diorite 2, oxide cap, and supergene Cu.
Oxide cap (n=103) samples contain up to 2.5ppm Au but only trace concentrations of Cu.
Supergene Cu samples (n=162) vary in their concentrations of Au and Cu but many of
them have high Cu concentrations and relatively low Au/Cu ratios. Supergene Cu
mineralized samples comprise the majority of the population which has the highest Cu
concentrations in the logassay database. The great majority of the Quartz Diorite 2
samples (n=390) do not contain significant concentrations of Au or Cu. The outliers in
this population which contain significant Au or Cu are interpreted to have either been
affected by Supergene Cu mineralization or may be Quartz Diorite 1 samples which were
logged incorrectly. The remaining samples in the logassay database occur in Quartz
Diorite 1 and are not interpreted to be affected by supergene leaching or enrichment
processes. The hypogene mineralized samples from Quartz Diorite 1 (n=1446) display
two populations when plotted by Au concentration versus Cu concentration (Figure 4.8).
The first population, which is termed the low Au/Cu ratio population, falls on an
approximate Au (ppm)/Cu (%) line of slope 1.2 and the great majority of samples

from the low Au/Cu ratio population contain <lppm Au. The second population, termed
the high Au/Cu ratio population, falls on an approximate Au (ppm)/Cu (%) line of 3 and
a large number of the samples from this population have a Au concentration between 1
and 3ppm. For the purpose of defining their average metal concentrations the boundary
between the low Au/Cu ratio population and the high Au/Cu population is estimated to be
Au (ppm)/Cu (%) = 2. The low Au/Cu ratio population (n=892) has an average Au
concentration of 0.49pmm and an average Cu concentration of 0.39%. The high Au/Cu
ratio population (n=554) has average metal concentrations of 0.94pmm Au and 0.34%
Cu. It is possible that at least two separate phases of mineralization occurred at Cerro
Corona: 1) a low Au/Cu ratio phase with an approximate Au (ppm)/Cu (%) ratio of 1.2
generating moderate concentrations of economic metals (average Au = 0.5ppm and Cu =
0.39%) over a large area in Quartz Diorite 1, and; 2) a high Au/Cu ratio phase with an
approximate Au (ppm)/Cu (%) ratio of 3 generating higher concentrations of economic
metals (average Au = 0.94ppm and Cu = 0.34%) over a smaller area of Quartz Diorite 1.
Subgroups of the hypogene mineralized Quartz Diorite 1 which are classified by
alteration assemblage are plotted by Au (ppm) versus Cu (%) to interpret possible trends
relative to high Au/Cu ratio mineralization and low Au/Cu ratio mineralization.
Subgroups of K-silicate, SCC, QSP and OC altered rocks were created by selecting
groups with an intensity of 2 or greater for each alteration assemblage. In the scale of
intensity of alteration from 0 to 4, the best threshold value found to determine the
occurrence or absence of an alteration assemblage is 2. For each alteration assemblage,
samples with an intensity of alteration of 2 or greater are interpreted as affected by that
alteration, and all other hypogene Quartz Diorite 1 samples are interpreted as not
153
Chapter 4 Mineralization
affected. Samples which are affected by K-silicate alteration (n=371) occur as a single
population that falls along the approximate Au (ppm)/Cu (%) line of 1.2 (Figure 4.9).
Similar to the trends in alteration and mineralization observed using the bubble plots and
level plans, a consistent spatial relationship is observed between K-silicate alteration and
low Au/Cu ratio mineralization. Data from samples affected by QSP alteration (n=158)
are scattered with varying concentrations of Au and Cu and Au/Cu ratios (Figure 4.10).
Au and Cu concentrations from SCC altered samples (n=651) have trends very similar to
those observed in all hypogene Quartz Diorite 1 data (Figure 4.11). SCC altered samples
are comprised of two populations which are defined by a high Au/Cu ratio population and
a low Au/Cu ratio population. OC alteration (n=744) displays similar bimodal
distribution of Au and Cu concentrations except that there is possible increase in the
proportion of samples that contain high Au/Cu ratio mineralization (Figure 4.12).
It is important to note that many sample intervals are interpreted to be affected by
more than one alteration assemblage either due to overprinting or the occurrence of small
intercalated zones of different alteration. Attempts were made to select samples that are
dominated by a single alteration assemblage but with the exception of K-silicate altered
samples the majority are affected by at least two alteration assemblages. Excluding data
visibly affected by multiple alteration assemblages would ignore a large volume of
mineralized rock and is unrealistic because intense overprinting alteration may obscure
earlier alteration in many samples.

4.5 DISCUSSION
The Au rich mineralization occurs in rock that is SCC, QSP and OC altered and
possibly preferentially in rocks affected by OC alteration. Au rich mineralization does
not occur in K-silicate altered rocks. It is possible that OC alteration is genetically
associated with Au rich mineralization. However it is also possible that the spatial
association observed between OC alteration and Au rich mineralization is partially due to
coincidence. OC alteration is restricted to the upper levels of the Cerro Corona stock and
it is interpreted to have a genetic origin that is related to low temperature weakly acidic
fluids. It is interpreted that Au rich mineralization affected rocks which dominantly
occur in the upper levels of the stock. Because of their proximity to the present surface,
these rocks were later affected by OC alteration which may be unrelated to
mineralization. OC altered samples show Au-Cu correlation and therefore if
mineralization was associated with OC alteration, Cu and Au must be transported and
coprecipitated. However, clay mineralogy suggests that OC alteration formed at less than
200C. Below 250C the efficiency of transportation of Cu by chloride complexes
decreases rapidly (Barnes, 1979). Therefore, it is unlikely that OC alteration was
coincident with Cu and Au deposition.
Several genetic relationships are interpreted from the Au versus Cu plots of data
selected by alteration assemblage. K-silicate alteration is interpreted to be genetically
related to low Au/Cu ratio mineralization based on the strong negative correlation of the
K-silicate with high Au/Cu ratio mineralization. The great majority of K-silicate altered
157
Chapter 4 Mineralization
samples occur in the deeper levels of the stock and only a small number of these samples
were affected by other alteration assemblages.
SCC alteration is interpreted to be genetically related to high Au/Cu ratio
mineralization based on the large proportion of the samples affected by SCC alteration
which have Au and Cu concentrations that are characteristic of high Au/Cu ratio
mineralization. It is possible that the low Au/Cu ratio mineralization which occurred at
Cerro Corona associated with K-silicate alteration already existed in areas that were later
affected by SCC alteration. After the SCC alteration assemblage developed, high Au/Cu
ratio mineralization occurred affecting areas that were previously mineralized. High
Au/Cu ratio mineralization may have resulted from; 1) rock that previously contained low
Au/Cu ratio mineralization but was remineralized during SCC alteration, or, 2) rock that
did not contain significant mineralization but was mineralized exclusively by high Au/Cu
ratio SCC-related mineralization. The low Au/Cu ratio population in the SCC altered
samples may represent samples that were altered and mineralized by the K-silicate
assemblage and then not strongly affected by the high Au/Cu ratio mineralization
associated with SCC alteration.
Based on the high number of samples (n=444) which are affected by both SCC
and OC alteration and occur on both the SCC and OC scatterplots of Au versus Cu, the
trends in Au and Cu concentration which occur in OC altered samples are interpreted to
reflect the strong overprinting of OC alteration on SCC altered rocks. Many of the OC
altered samples are comprised of OC alteration which partially replaces SCC alteration.
It is interpreted that SCC alteration is a more common precursor to OC alteration than
was estimated in the field and it is possible that the most intense OC altered intervals
158
Chapter 4 Mineralization
completely overprint pre-existing SCC alteration. It is possible that the reason OC
alteration selectively replaced SCC alteration is because it occurs in the upper part of the
stock and is more permeable than QSP alteration or Quartz Diorite 2. OC alteration was
recognized during logging by the presence of orange clay. Petrography and XRD
analyses suggests that clay alteration maybe more widespread than indicated by orange
clay, and much of the upper part of the Cerro Corona stack may have been affected
partially by clay alteration. The orange colour of OC alteration is related to the
concentration of magnetite and hematite which are probably inherited from SCC
alteration. The majority of the samples with the highest Au concentrations (Au >2pmm)
occur in OC altered rocks occur above the 3700m level, a relationship that is interpreted
to reflect the overprinting of the most intense OC alteration on pre-existing intense SCC
alteration and mineralization.
The Au (ppm) versus Cu (%) plots for QSP altered samples are interpreted to
have scattered data with no obvious trends because the low number of QSP altered
samples and because QSP altered samples are affected by multiple phases of
mineralization. QSP alteration has the smallest number of samples of all the alteration
assemblages because, 1) it is the least pervasive assemblage and, 2) a large proportion of
QSP altered samples have been affected by supergene Cu mineralization and are not
included in the hypogene mineralized Quartz Diorite 1 dataset. QSP altered samples with
a Au (ppm)/Cu (%) ratio of 0.5 or less are interpreted to contain supergene Cu
mineralization that was not noted in the drill log. The remaining QSP altered samples are
interpreted to have been affected by previous mineralization, either, high Au/Cu ratio or
low Au/Cu ratio mineralization. Based on the occurrence of chalcopyrite in QSP
159
Chapter 4 Mineralization
alteration, significant mineralization is interpreted to have occurred synchronously with
QSP alteration. However, there is no consistent trend in Au and Cu concentrations of
QSP altered samples that could further classify mineralization which is genetically
associated with QSP alteration. It is difficult to determine if the chalcopyrite which
occurs in QSP altered rocks was generated by QSP alteration or if it was generated by
previous mineralization and was recrystallized.
The SCC and OC altered samples which contain high Au/Cu ratio mineralization
are plotted as a separate population from the rests of the samples to further characterize
high Au/Cu ratio mineralization. The Au (ppm)/Cu (%) ratio of 2 separates the majority
of high Au/Cu ratio mineralization and low Au/Cu ratio mineralization. However a Au
(ppm)/Cu (%) ratio = 2.2 appears to be the upper limit for low Au/Cu ratio mineralization
genetically associated with K-silicate alteration (Figure 4.13). SCC and OC altered
samples with Au (ppm)/Cu (%) = 2.2 and >0.5ppm Au are plotted with K-silicate altered
samples on an Au/Cu plot (Figure 4.14). This plot strongly suggests that the
mineralization which occurs in the SCC and OC altered samples is distinct from the low
Au/Cu ratio mineralization which is spatially associated with K-silicate alteration based
on the low overlap between these two populations. Samples with >0.5ppm Au were not
included in the high Au/Cu ratio mineralization population because of the poor definition
between high and low Au/Cu ratio mineralization which occurs in samples with low
concentrations of Au and Cu. Many of the OC and SCC altered samples which contain
high Au/Cu ratio mineralization occur in a zone which is approximately located in the
center of the deposit on cross-section 70 (Figure 5.15). If the zone of OC alteration
which occurs above SCC alteration on cross-section 70 is interpreted to have been

affected by SCC alteration, then the combined areas affected by SCC and OC alteration
approximately represent the original area for the SCC alteration zone in the upper levels
of the Cerro Corona stock. The high Au/Cu ratio mineralization occurs approximately in
the center of the original SCC alteration zone. Other small zones of high Au/Cu ratio
mineralization occur locally in the SCC and OC altered rock and their relationship with
the central high Au/Cu ratio mineralized zone is not defined.
4.6 S UMMARY
Cerro Corona contains four main mineralization groups: 1) Quartz Diorite 1,
which hosts all significant mineralization; 2) Quartz Diorite 2, which is very weakly
mineralized and below ore grade; 3) Oxide Cap, comprised of oxidized Quartz Diorite 1
and 2 which has had the Cu leached resulting in trace concentrations of Cu; and 4)
Supergene mineralization, which contains supergene Cu minerals and an enriched Cu
concentration. Quartz Diorite 2 occurs dominantly in the north half of the stock with
smaller lobes in the south half of the stock. The oxide cap occurs in the top few tens of
meters near the surface. Supergene Cu mineralization commonly occurs directly below
the oxide cap in zones up to 50m thick but also occur in small local zones within 100m of
the surface of the stock. Supergene Cu minerals include chalcocite and covellite. Vein
mineralogy changes over time from early oxide rich veins to late sulphide rich veins.
Most veins which contain approximately equal amounts of oxide and sulphide minerals
are interpreted to be genetically associated with SCC alteration.
163
Chapter 4 Mineralization
Ore at Cerro Corona is considered rock which contains >0.25ppm Au and >0.25
%Cu. The strongest control on the distribution of ore at Cerro Corona is the distribution
of Quartz Diorite 1 above the 3500m level. Almost all Quartz Diorite 1 above the 3500m
level is considered ore and no major ore zones occur in other rock types. All four
alteration assemblages host ore. Hypogene mineralization in Quartz Diorite 1 is
interpreted to have occurred in two distinct phases: 1) low Au/Cu ratio mineralization
which occurs throughout the stock, and 2) high Au/Cu ratio mineralization which is
concentrated in a 200m thick zone centered on the 3800m level and contains the great
majority of the samples with the highest Au concentrations. K-silicate alteration is
interpreted to be genetically associated with low Au/Cu ratio mineralization. SCC
alteration is interpreted to be genetically associated with high Au/Cu ratio mineralization.
A large proportion of the OC altered samples are affected by high Au/Cu ratio
mineralization. OC alteration is not interpreted to have been genetically associated with
mineralization, but it is mineralized where it is selectively overprinted by SCC alteration.
QSP altered samples do not display any obvious trends in Au and Cu concentrations but
chalcopyrite is observed in QSP altered rock. It has not been determined if QSP
alteration is genetically associated with mineralization or if it remobilized pre-existing
Au and Cu. The high Au/Cu ratio mineralization associated with SCC alteration is
interpreted to have dominantly occurred in the center of original SCC alteration zone.

Chapters Summary and Discussion
5.0 S UMMARY AND DISCUSSION
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The Cerro Corona porphyry Cu-Au deposit is contains a probable mining reserve
of 91 million metric tonnes with 1.05ppm Au and 0.51 %Cu and is located in the
Hualgayoc mining district in northern Peru. The Hualgayoc district is dominated by
limestones and shales of middle-Cretaceous age which are intruded by felsic volcanic
necks and sills of middle-Miocene age. The igneous rocks in the Hualgayoc district are
interpreted to belong to three separate units. The oldest unit, the San Miguel unit, which
comprises the bulk of igneous rocks in the Hualgayoc district (including Cerro Corona),
is interpreted to have formed at approximately 14.4 Ma. The next oldest unit, the
Tantahuatay unit, which comprises the Tantahuatay dacite formed at approximately 13.2
Ma. The youngest igneous unit in the Hualgayoc district is the Hualgayoc unit which
comprises the Cerro Hualgayoc rhyodacite which formed at approximately 8 Ma.
The Cerro Corona stock is comprised of two phases of texturally and
mineralogically similar quartz diorites; 1) a pre or syn-mineralization phase termed,
Quartz Diorite 1 and, 2) a post-mineralization phase termed Quartz Diorite 2. The quartz
diorite is interpreted to have been originally comprised of approximately 25 %
plagioclase, 8 %biotite, 8 %hornblende, 1%magnetite with the remainder being a fine
grained groundmass comprised of quartz, plagioclase, magnetite, and trace zircon
crystals. In plan, the Cerro Corona stock is approximately oval with a 1000m north-south
dimension and a 800m east-west dimension. The northern half of the stock is dominated
165
Chapters Summary and Discussion
by Quartz Diorite 2 and the southern half of the stock is dominated by Quartz Diorite 2.
Small bodies of Quartz Diorite 2 occur in the southern half of the Cerro Corona stock.
Quartz Diorite 2 occurred late in the sequence of alteration and mineralization.
5.2 ALTERATION
The hydrothermal alteration at Cerro Corona deposit has been divided into four
alteration assemblages termed K-silicate, sericite-chlorite-clay (SCC), quartz-sericite-
pyrite (QSP), and orange clay (OC).
K-silicate alteration is characterized by the occurrence of hydrothermal biotite, K-
feldspar, quartz, magnetite and chalcopyrite with minor epidote, calcite, hematite,
bornite, and pyrite. Hydrothermal biotite dominantly occurs as leafy disseminations in
the groundmass and as replacements of magmatic hornblende. Hydrothermal K-feldspar
replaces plagioclase phenocrysts, plagioclase in the groundmass, and occurs in veins.
The other minerals in the K-silicate alteration assemblage dominantly occur in veins and
vein envelopes. The veins which are interpreted to be genetically associated with K-
silicate alteration are classified as B veins, KF veins, and M veins. B veins are the oldest
veins which occur at Cerro Corona and are comprised of biotite and quartz. KF veins are
comprised of K-feldspar-biotite-quartz + chalcopyrite + bornite magnetite hematite +
calcite + epidote. M veins are comprised of magnetite-hematite + quartz chalcopyrite
pyrite + bornite calcite + K-feldspar epidote chlorite. K-silicate altered rock ranges
in appearance from that with preserved igneous textures with disseminated hydrothermal
biotite to strong selective K-silicate replacement of plagioclase and groundmass proximal

Chapters Summary and Discussion
to K-feldspar and M veins. Hydrothermal biotite occurs throughout the Cerro Corona
stock in both Quartz Diorite 1 and 2. Stronger K-silicate alteration (marked by the
occurrence of K-feldspar) is the dominant alteration assemblage on the 3500m level but
only rarely occurs above the 3700m level. Stronger K-silicate alteration is interpreted to
have affected the rocks above the 3700m level but was overprinted by later hydrothermal
alteration. The K-silicate alteration which occurs in Quartz Diorite 2 (disseminated
hydrothermal biotite and KF veins) is interpreted to have been genetically related to
fluids associated with Quartz Diorite 2. The only alteration which overprints K-silicate
alteration in Quartz Diorite 2 is OC alteration.
The SCC alteration mineral assemblage is comprised of chlorite, sericite, clay,
quartz, calcite, epidote, magnetite, hematite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. The most
characteristic feature of SCC alteration is the pale "Palmolive" green colour and its waxy
or greasy texture. The igneous texture of the quartz diorite is preserved in all but the
most intense examples of SCC alteration. Sericite, chlorite and clay (kaolinite and
smectite) pervasively replace plagioclase phenocrysts and the groundmass. Biotite (both
hydrothermal and magmatic) remains stable in SCC alteration except in the most intense
cases of SCC alteration. Relic hornblende crystal cores are altered to chlorite and
sericite. Quartz-oxide-sulphide (QOS) veins are interpreted to be genetically associated
with SCC alteration because they occur with sericite-chlorite-clay envelopes and do not
occur with any other envelopes. QOS veins are comprised of quartz-magnetite-hematite-
chalcopyrite-pyrite calcite chlorite sericite clay. Late M veins are interpreted to
be genetically related to SCC alteration but it is also possible that SCC alteration
pervasively replaced the K-silicate alteration which was associated with M veins. SCC
167
Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion
alteration commonly occurs pervasively and affects large volumes of rock. SCC
alteration is restricted to Quartz Diorite 1 and dominantly occurs in a large 200m thick
lobe approximately located in the center of the of Quartz Diorite 1, centered on the
3700m level. Above the 3700m level SCC alteration is commonly partially overprinted
by OC alteration and more intense OC alteration zones are also interpreted to be
overprinting earlier SCC alteration.
QSP alteration assemblage minerals are comprised of quartz, sericite, pyrite, clay,
calcite and chalcopyrite. These minerals occur in fine grained aggregates which
commonly destroys the porphyritic texture of the quartz diorite. QSP alteration is
commonly intense and none of the primary magmatic minerals are preserved. QSP
altered rock is characteristically ranges from white to grey in colour and commonly is
comprised of over 25 %veins. Quartz-pyrite (QP) and P veins are interpreted to be
genetically associated with QSP alteration because they occur with strong QSP alteration
envelopes. QP veins are comprised of quartz-pyrite chalcopyrite sericite
molybdenite magnetite hematite calcite chlorite. QP veins commonly form a
stockwork in zones of QSP alteration. P veins are commonly entirely comprised of pyrite
but may contain minor amounts of chalcopyrite and calcite. C veins are interpreted to
have occurred at the end of, or, immediately after the QSP alteration phase. QSP
alteration occurs in intense local zones, which range from less than one meter to tens of
meters in thickness and are commonly intercalated with zones of SCC and OC altered
rock. These QSP altered zones are interpreted to overprint previously existing SCC and
K-silicate alteration. The QSP alteration zones are concentrated above the 3700m level.
168
Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion
The majority of the rock which occurs at the surface is interpreted to have been affected
by QSP alteration.
A bright orange colour and occurrence of clay minerals characterize OC
alteration. All primary magmatic minerals are replaced by clay except biotite. Clays
associated with OC alteration are interpreted to have an increased proportion of smectite
relative to clays associated with SCC and QSP alteration. OC alteration occurs
pervasively and affects large volumes of rock reducing it to rubble in drill core. The
orange colour of OC alteration occurs only when magnetite and hematite occur in the
rock. OC alteration is interpreted to overprint, K-silicate, SCC and QSP alteration. OC
alteration affects Quartz Diorite 2. OC alteration occurs in a large lobe between the
3900m and 3500m levels. OC alteration is interpreted to have occurred after all veining
and mineralization at Cerro Corona.
5.3 MINERALIZATION
Rocks at Cerro Corona are grouped into; 1) rocks which have been affected by
supergene mineralization and, 2) rock which have not been affected by supergene
mineralization. There are two types of supergene mineralization: oxidized and supergene
Cu mineralized rock. Oxidized rock which has had the Cu leached leaving only trace
concentrations remaining, occurs dominantly in a zone a few tens of meters thick sub-
parallel to the surface. Supergene Cu mineralization contains chalcocite and covellite
and is enriched in Cu relative to hypogene mineralized rock. Supergene Cu
mineralization commonly occurs in a zone up to 50m thick located directly below the
169
Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion
oxide cap. Supergene Cu mineralization also occurs in small, irregularly distributed
zones within 100m of the surface of the Cerro Corona stock.
Rocks not affected by supergene mineralization are divided in to 2 groups based
on rock type; Quartz Diorite 1, which hosts all significant mineralization and Quartz
Diorite 2, which is very weakly mineralized below ore grade. Quartz Diorite 2 occurs
dominantly in the north half of the stock with smaller lobes in the south half of the stock.
Vein mineralogy changes over time at Cerro Corona from early oxide rich veins which
are cross cut by late sulphide rich veins. Most veins which contain approximately equal
amounts of oxide and sulphide minerals are interpreted to be genetically associated with
SCC alteration.
Ore at Cerro Corona is defined by rock containing >0.25ppm Au and >0.25 %
Cu. The strongest control on the distribution of ore at Cerro Corona is the distribution of
Quartz Diorite 1 above the 3500m level. Almost all Quartz Diorite 1 above the 3500m
level is considered ore and no major ore zones occur in other rock types. The center of
the orebody contains a large zone of weakly mineralized rock which is not considered ore
and is interpreted be Quartz Diorite 2. K-silicate, SCC, QSP and OC alteration all
contain significant amounts of ore. Hypogene mineralization in Quartz Diorite 1 is
interpreted to have occurred in two distinct phases: 1) low Au/Cu ratio mineralization
which has an approximate Au (ppm)/Cu (%) ratio of 1.2, and 2) high Au/Cu ratio
mineralization which has an approximate Au (ppm)/Cu (%) ratio of 3. Low Au/Cu ratio
mineralization occurs throughout Quartz Diorite 1 at Cerro Corona. High Au/Cu ratio
mineralization is concentrated in a 200m thick zone centered on the 3800m level. The
great majority of samples with the highest Au concentrations also belong to the high
170
Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion
Au/Cu ratio population. K-silicate alteration is interpreted to be genetically associated
with low Au/Cu ratio mineralization. SCC alteration is interpreted to be genetically
associated with high Au/Cu ratio mineralization. SCC altered samples are comprised of
low and high Au/Cu ratio mineralization. Low Au/Cu ratio mineralized, SCC altered
samples are interpreted to have been affected by K-silicate associated low Au/Cu ratio
mineralization and then overprinted by SCC alteration but not affected by high Au/Cu
ratio mineralization. If correct, either early SCC alteration may have been associated
with low Au/Cu mineralization or pervasive SCC alteration occurred without high Au/Cu
ratio mineralization. Au versus Cu plots of SCC and OC altered samples display similar
trends, and a large proportion of the OC altered samples are affected by high Au/Cu ratio
mineralization. OC alteration is not interpreted to have been genetically associated with
mineralization. Selective overprinting of SCC alteration by OC is probably more
important at Cerro Corona than was recognized in drill core. QSP altered samples do not
display any obvious trends in Au and Cu concentrations although chalcopyrite is
observed in QSP altered rock. It has not been determined if QSP alteration is genetically
associated with mineralization, or if it remobilizes pre-existing Au and Cu. The high
Au/Cu ratio mineralization genetically associated with SCC alteration occurred in the
center of the original SCC alteration zone.

5.4 DISCUSSION
5.4.1 Genetic model
Synthesis of data on alteration assemblages and mineralization allows for the
development of a hypothetical genetic model for the development of hydrothermal
alteration assemblages and associated mineralization at the Cerro Corona porphyry Cu-
Au deposit. During middle Miocene time Quartz Diorite 1 intruded the Cretaceous
sediments of the Hualgayoc district estimated to be located between 1.5 and 3 km below
the surface (Sillitoe, 1973). At this time Quartz Diorite 2 was comprised of
approximately 45 %phenocrysts (plagioclase, biotite, and hornblende) and 55 %
groundmass and behaved plastically. Large blocks of wallrock were incorporated and as
xenoliths. The limestone of the Pariatambo formation was not strongly affected by the
intrusion of the Cerro Corona stock except in the immediate area of the contact where
brecciation, decalcification, skarning and marbleization occurred. Any fluid which was
exsolved by the magma and left the hydrothermal system is interpreted to have been
transported upwards through the stock, and similarly, any meteoric fluid which enters the
hydrothermal system is interpreted to have entered through the stock and not the
limestone
Water was exsolved from the magma of Quartz Diorite 1 during crystallization.
Fractures containing the early high temperature magmatic fluid had biotite precipitated in
them. The stock still behaved plastically at this time and as a result, B veins are wormy
and irregularly shaped. As the stock cooled, fluid continued to be exsolved resulting in
172
Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion
the brecciation of Quartz diorite 1. KF veins formed in these fractures and hydrothermal
biotite was precipitated by fluids travelling through microfractures. Fluid continued to be
exsolved from the Quartz Diorite 1 magma causing brecciation which crosscut the pre-
existing fracture infilling by KF veins. The magma exsolved chemically different fluids
over time, earliest fluids resulted in veins comprised of biotite and K-feldspar, and later
fluids precipitated M veins. The precipitation of Fe in the form of magnetite increased
and fracture filling became dominated by magnetite. Low Au/Cu ratio mineralization
occurred at this time and was generated by the same fluid which formed the K-feldspar
and M veins. K-silicate alteration and associated mineralization is interpreted to have
occurred throughout Quartz Diorite 1 and possibly extended into the upper levels of the
stock which may have occurred above the current topographical surface.
The transition from K-silicate alteration to SCC alteration occurred more or less
coincidentally with the appearance of pyrite in QOS veins. Late M veins may have been
genetically associated with SCC alteration, or, they have been formed with K-silicate
alteration and subsequently been affected by pervasive SCC alteration. It is interpreted
that low Au/Cu ratio mineralization continued to occur during this time. At some time
during SCC alteration, high Au/Cu ratio mineralization developed. The change in the
precipitation ratio from Au (ppm)/Cu (%) = 1.2 to Au (ppm)/Cu (%) = 3 is interpreted to
approximately coincide with the increase of pyrite mineralization. The total amount of
hydrothermal Fe which occurs, is interpreted to be approximately similar in the oxide
dominated K-silicate alteration phase and the oxide-sulphide bearing SCC alteration
phase. Assuming constant activity for Fe
2+
and Cu
+
, the change from magnetite-
hematite-chalcopyrite dominated mineralization to magnetite-hematite-chalcopyrite-
173
Chapters Summary and Discussion
pyrite mineralization is interpreted to occur as a result of five main changes in conditions:
1) increase in H2S fugacity, 2) decrease in 0
2
fugacity, 3) increase in S fugacity, 4)
decrease in pH, and 5) decrease in temperature (Brimhall, 1980). It is possible that the
change from low to high Au/Cu ratio mineralization was affected by one or more of the
above changes in conditions. Changes in physical and chemical conditions and the
resultant change from low to high Au/Cu ratio mineralization may be due to evolution in
the fluid which is exsolved from the magma over time. It is also possible that the
chemical conditions of the fluid changed due to the addition of a meteoric water
component to the mineralizing fluid. High Au/Cu ratio mineralization occurred in the
central part of the main zone affected by SCC alteration which extended from the 3500m
level to a level possibly located above the current topographical surface. In this central
area, fluid related to SCC alteration may have dissolved pre-existing Au and Cu and re-
precipitated mineralization at a higher Au/Cu ratio. The concentration of high Au/Cu
ratio mineralization in the core of the SCC alteration zone suggests that magmatic or
highly exchanged mixed meteoric-magmatic fluids were involved, rather than an influx
of meteoric water on the periphery of the stock. It is interpreted that SCC alteration
began to occur in the upper levels of the stock while K-silicate alteration was still
occurring in the lower levels of the stock.
Texture-destructive QSP alteration is interpreted to have commenced above the
3700m level at the same time as late SCC alteration was occurring below the 3700m
level. As QSP alteration began to dominate above the 3800m level and within structural
fluid conduits in other areas of the stock, the SCC alteration phase expired. It is not clear
whether high Au/Cu ratio mineralization continued to occur during QSP alteration. QSP
174
Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion
alteration may have been more extensive in the upper levels of the Cerro Corona stock
which may have occurred above the current topographical surface.
After the most intense QSP alteration and associated veining had occurred, Quartz
Diorite 2 intruded the Cerro Corona stock. Mineralizing processes related to Quartz
Diorite 1 carried over into Quartz Diorite 2 and resulted in the formation of QP and P
veins in Quartz Diorite 2. Quartz Diorite 2 exsolved magmatic fluid which formed KF
veins and precipitated hydrothermal biotite in Quartz Diorite 2.
Relatively soon after the intrusion of Quartz Diorite 2, QSP alteration expired.
The final fluid which forms veins precipitated C veins. As volcanic and magmatic
activity terminated, the system cooled and meteoric fluids penetrated and dominated the
upper levels of the Cerro Corona stock. Meteoric fluids are interpreted to have resulted
in argillization (OC alteration) over the entire area in the upper levels of the stock except
in rocks that were less permeable because of intense silicification from QSP alteration or
Quartz Diorite 2 as it had only been weakly fractured and altered.
Erosion of the Cerro Corona stock occurred with tectonic uplift. It is interpreted
that as the stock eroded, the QSP altered zones which dominated Quartz Diorite 1 above
the 3800m level acted as a natural mechanical and chemical barrier to erosion. The
intense silicification and quartz stockwork of QSP alteration would be far more resistive
to chemical and mechanical erosion than the intensely clay altered SCC and OC
alterations.

5.4.2 Comparisons with Other Porphyry Cu-Au Deposits
Porphyry Cu-Au deposits in the Philippines are interpreted to have the closest
similarities in the world to the Cerro Corona porphyry Cu-Au deposit in terms of size,
metal concentration, host rock composition, and alteration assemblages (Sillitoe, 1993).
Cerro Corona contains Au concentrations which are higher than the majority of porphyry
Cu-Au deposits when compared to thirty other Cu-Au porphyry deposits throughout the
world (Figure 5.1). In terms of Cu and Au concentrations and tonnage, out of the thirty
porphyry Cu-Au deposits that are compared by Sillitoe (1993), the four which are most
similar to Cerro Corona are; Santo Thomas II, Dizon, Kingking and Lepanto Far
Southeast. All of these deposits are located in the Philippines. Sillitoe (1993) indicates a
possible positive correlation between Au concentration and magnetite content in
porphyry Cu-Au deposits on a global scale.
Philippine porphyry Cu-Au deposits bear many resemblances to Cerro Corona on
the whole. The majority of Philippine porphyry Cu-Au deposits are associated with
diorite to quartz diorite porphyries (Sillitoe and Gappe, 1984). Vocanoclastic sequences
dominate the geology of the Philippines and the host rocks for porphyry Cu-Au deposits
are dominated by the same lithologies. Limestone occurs in 16 %of Philippine porphyry
Cu-Au deposits but is the main host rock in only two Philippine porphyry Cu-Au deposits
(Sillitoe and Gappe, 1984). The ages of Philippine porphyry Cu-Au deposits vary but
have an average age of approximately 3 Ma, which is significantly younger than Cerro
Corona. The alteration and associated mineralization of the Philippine porphyry Cu-Au
deposits are interpreted to very similar to the Cerro Corona porphyry Cu-Au deposit.

Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion
Sillitoe and Gappe (1984) report a general trend in the alteration-mineralization sections
through the ore zones of Philippines porphyry Cu-Au deposits. The alteration
assemblages change through the following sequence from the deepest ores to the most
shallow ones: 1) K-silicate alteration (with or without K-feldspar), 2) K-silicate plus
chlorite and K-silicate plus SCC, 3) SCC, 4) Sericitic (QSP), and 5) advanced argillic.
The great majority of the Philippine porphyry Cu-Au deposits contain ore which is
comprised of K-silicate and, or SCC altered rocks. Assuming OC alteration was a post-
mineralization, meteoric event unrelated to the main hydrothermal system, the Cerro
Corona deposit contains a similar vertical gradation in its alteration assemblages. The
change in alteration assemblages illustrated in cross-sections 7x and 70 from deep to
shallow is: 1) K-silicate, to 2) K-silicate plus SCC, to 3) SCC, to 4) QSP. The main
alteration assemblages which host ore at Cerro Corona are K-silicate alteration plus SCC
alteration and SCC alteration.
The Grasberg porphyry Cu-Au deposit is one of the most important Cu-Au
deposits in terms of metal content in the world. The supergiant Grasberg deposit
represents the largest published Au reserves of any single active mine in the world, as
well as the third largest Cu reserves (1.7 Gt at an average grade of 1.1 %Cu, 1.2ppm Au)
(Rubin and Kyle, 1997). A plot of Au concentration versus Cu concentration from drill
core intercepts at Grasberg illustrate a strong correlation between Au and Cu at Grasberg
(Figure 5.2a). The Au (ppm)/Cu (%) ratio of mineralization at Grasberg ranges from
approximately 1.6 to 0.06. Hypogene mineralization at Cerro Corona would plot with a
higher Au/Cu ratio than the great majority of samples from this Grasberg dataset.
Mineralization, alteration, and magmatic activity are far more complex at the Grasberg

Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion
porphyry Cu-Au deposits than they are at Cerro Corona. The Grasberg igneous complex
consists of at least seven intrusive phases several of which are interpreted to be
genetically associated with mineralization (Rubin and Kyle, 1997; MacDonald, 1985). It
is interpreted that, although multiple phases of mineralization occurred which may have
had different Au/Cu ratios, none of the mineralization phases which created the Grasberg
porphyry Cu-Au deposit had Au/Cu ratios which are as high as the hypogene
mineralization which occurred at Cerro Corona.
The Cerro Corona porphyry Cu-au deposit is similar in size, shape, mineralogy,
alteration, grade and tonnage to many Philippine porphyry Cu-Au deposits but it is
dissimilar in host rock. The limestone which hosts the Cerro Corona deposit was not
reactive or brecciated and as a result the magmatic-hydrothermal fluids which formed the
mineralization did not permeate through the host rock. The Cerro Corona deposit may be
rich in Au relative to other porphyry Cu-Au deposits because the mineralizing fluid was
concentrated in the igneous stock. Porphyry stocks emplaced into tight wallrocks are
hypothesized to result in higher grade Au-rich porphyry deposits because of the reduced
dissipation of magmatic fluids (Sillitoe, 1997)
180
Chapter 6 Conclusions
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
The Cerro Corona deposit is a porphyry Cu-Au deposit which is located in the
Hualgayoc mining district of the Cajamarca province of northern Peru. The deposit is
hosted by a polyphase quartz diorite stock approximately 1000m long by 800m wide.
Two intrusive units occur at Cerro Corona: a syn-mineralization phase (Quartz Diorite 1)
which is crosscut by a post-mineralization phase (Quartz Diorite 2). Intrusive phases are
compositionally very similar and have fine grain crowded porphyritic textures. The
quartz diorite is comprised of approximately 25 %plagioclase, 8 %biotite and 8 %
hornblende phenocrysts which are surrounded by a fine grained, dark grey groundmass.
206
Pb/
238
U analysis of zircon gives an approximate age of 14.4 Ma for the Cerro Corona
and the Coymolache sill which may have occurred in a separate magmatic event from
that of Cerro Tantahuatay which produced a
206
Pb/
238
U age of approximately 13.2 Ma.
The Cerro Corona quartz diorite intruded the late Cretaceous Pariatambo formation
which is locally altered and mineralized within 30m of the intrusive contact.
Four main hydrothermal alteration assemblages have been classified at the Cerro
Corona deposit: 1) K-silicate, 2) Sericite-chlorite-clay (SCC), 3) Quartz-sericite-pyrite
(QSP), 4) Orange clay (OC). K-silicate alteration is characterized by hydrothermal
biotite which replaces primary hornblende and occurs as fine grained disseminated
crystals in the ground mass, and by hydrothermal K-feldspar which replaces plagioclase
and occurs in veins. K-silicate alteration is interpreted to be the first alteration
assemblage which occurred in the hydrothermal sequence and it occurs commonly in the
deeper levels of the Cerro Corona stock. SCC alteration is characterized by rocks with
181
Chapter 6 Conclusions
preserved porphyritic texture which are pale green in colour due to the replacement of
plagioclase crystal sites and groundmass by sericite, chlorite, clay, and calcite. SCC
alteration comprises a large area in Quartz Diorite 1 and is interpreted to have occurred
after K-silicate alteration in the hydrothermal sequence. QSP alteration is characterized
by the destruction of igneous texture replaced by massive and vein quartz, sericite, pyrite
and calcite. QSP alteration occurs in the upper levels of the stock in Quartz Diorite 1 and
is interpreted to be the last stage in the hydrothermal sequence which is associated with
mineralization. OC alteration is characterized by bright orange clay which replaces all
silicate minerals except biotite.
Veins at Cerro Corona are divided into seven types: 1) biotite (B), 2) K-feldspar
(KF), 3) magnetite (M), 4) quartz-oxide-sulphide (QOS), 5) quartz-pyrite (QP), 6) pyrite
(P), and 7) calcite (C). There is an overall transition in vein composition from 1) early
magnetite-hematite-chalcopyrite, to 2) medial magnetite-hematite-chalcopyrite-pyrite, to
3) late pyrite dominated veins. The majority of the copper mineralization occurs as
chalcopyrite which forms in the KF, M, QOS, QP and P veins.
Two types of supergene mineralization occur at Cerro Corona: oxidized Au-
bearing and supergene Cu mineralized rock which occur in zones sub-parallel to the
surface. Significant hypogene mineralization occurs throughout Quartz Diorite 1 above
3500m. Mineralization is interpreted to have occurred in two separate phases: 1) low
Au/Cu ratio mineralization which occurs throughout Quartz Diorite 1 and is related to K-
silicate alteration; and 2) high Au/Cu ratio mineralization which occurs in the center of
the SCC altered zone and may be related to SCC alteration.
182
Chapter 6 Conclusions
The Cerro Corona porphyry Cu-Au deposit is contains metal concentrations and
hydrothermal alteration which occur in other porphyry Cu-Au deposits throughout the
world. Several phases of alteration and at least two phases of mineralization occur in
Quartz Diorite 1 at Cerro Corona. Hydrothermal fluids were concentrated in the stock
and due to the impermeability of f the limestone and this possible resulted in high Au/Cu
ratio mineralization. The alteration and mineralization at Cerro Corona represents a
magmatic-hydrothermal system which chemically changed and collapsed over time
resulting in intense overprinting alteration assemblages and related mineralization.

APPENDIX A
Geochemical Data Quality Control
A quality control program was used during all analysis of drill core samples at
Cerro Corona. The samples were prepared and analysed for Au (Fire Assay) and Cu
(AAS) at SGS Laboratories S.A.. With every twenty samples one standard sample, one
duplicate pair and one blank was submitted to determine the accuracy, precision and
contamination which occurred and the batch was re-analysed if there was a significant
problem in any of those areas. Several isolated batches were reanalysed because of low
accuracy or contamination with only one major incident which required substantial
amounts of re-analysis. SGS received the standard in pulp so that it was easily identified.
The natural variability of the Barrick Goldstrike sample suddenly stopped and identical
values were received from the lab. The values for the standards proved to be
unreproducible and all samples were re-assayed. A MRDI report on the quality of the
database indicates that the database is correct with few errors and reproducible data.
The whole rock and trace element analysis used in Figures 2.4a and 2.4b were
analysed using XRF and ICP-MS. A sample duplicate from Cerro Corona was submitted
to determine the precision. Figure Al illustrates the precision which was acceptable for
this comparison and the samples duplicates plotted in near identical patterns in both
Figure 2.4a and Figure 2.4b.
4 to 5 samples from each alteration were analysed using ICP (AES) at
Chemex laboratories to investigate possible trends in metal concentrations with change in
alteration. Three duplicate pairs were submitted to determine the precision. The
precision for nearly all elements was very high due to the small size of samples. The data
was determined to have too high precision to show trends in metal concentration. Large,
more representative samples were not submitted because of the prohibitive cost of
189
transporting large volumes of rock from Peru to Vancouver. The data are included in
Appendix A.
Whole rock and trace element chemistry for figures 2.5a and 2.5b were
determined using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) done at McGill university in Montreal.
Sample duplicates are plotted on the figure and the error bars in the figure were
determined by dividing the total difference between the duplicate pair in half for each
element. This value was determined to be half of the error and equals the length of the
error bar in one direction for each element. The error bars were determined using the
second duplicate pair which had which had precision which was worse than the first pair
(Table A2).

APPENDIX B
Drill core logging proced
The drill core logging sheet consists of 23 columns and is illustrated blank and
filled out in Figures B1 and B2 respectively. The first column delineates the meterage of
the interval that is being studied which varied from 15 to 30m depending on the
variability of the rock. The sample/photo column is for data entry on samples or photos
taken. The structure column is for data on major structures such as faults or major
fractures. The lithology column is for rock type or intrusive phase and detailed
description of igneous mineral textures and overall description of the rock. The next
three columns are for recording the modal percentage of the major porphyritic minerals
that constitute the rock, plagioclase, hornblende and biotite. The following four columns
are for recording the alteration mineralogy of the major phenocrysts and groundmass.
This allows for a gradual interpretation of complex alteration sequences, first the
replacement mineralogy for each crystal site is recorded, followed by a broader
description in the alteration column. As data were accumulated, preliminary theories
about alteration suites and timing evolved, reinterpretation was facilitated by the
existence of this primary data on replacement mineralogy. The vein column is for
information on veins such as mineralogy, texture, size and crosscutting relationships.
Vein concentration and envelopes are recorded in the %vein and envelope columns
respectively. The graphic column is used to depict vein appearances and relationships.
Information on sulphide and oxide minerals such as size, texture and distribution is
written in the mineralization column and the concentrations of pyrite, chalcopyrite,
bornite, magnetite and hematite are recorded in the following five columns. Oxide,
hypogene or supergene ore types are recorded in the final column.
194
The drill core logging sheets were interpreted in Canada and transferred to a
database format in the following fashion. Every two meter interval of the drill core was
assigned a value from 0-4 for intensity of a particular alteration assemblage. The four
alteration assemblages which were identified in the field and used in the data base are:
l)K-silicate, 2) Sericite-chlorite-magnetite (SCC), 3) Quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP), and,
4) Orange clay (OC). These alteration assemblages are discussed in Chapter 3. For the
same interval rock type and vein density of nine vein types classified in the field were
recorded. Two cross sections were constructed at 1:1000 scale and have the four
alteration intensities plotted on the left side of the hole and Au and Cu concentrations
plotted on the right side of the hole. These cross sections (in pocket) a provide an
accurate depiction of alteration type and intensity for over 5,000 m of logged core and
were used for the interpretation of distribution of rock types and zones of alteration. The
versions of cross-sections 7x and 70 which illustrate the distribution alteration zones were
created using the following procedure. Zones of distribution for each of the four
alteration assemblages were drawn on the 1:1000 cross-sections. These zones were
entered into the autocad file and then scaled and transferred to a CorelDraw file which
was used to create the page-size sections.

X-ray diffraction techniques
198
X-ray DIFFRACTION METHOD
4 semiquantitative X-ray determinations were made from drill core samples from
each alteration assemblage which contained clay minerals, SCC, QSP and OC. Additional
samples were analyzed but these had visible affects of more than one clay rich alteration.
The fine grained clay minerals were extracted from the drill core samples using a dental
pick as clay aggregates dominantly occur in plagioclase and in groundmass. These mineral
sites comprised a large proportion of the clay samples. The samples were ground using a
mortar and pestle. The powder was suspended in ethanol and pipetted onto a glass slide
and allowed to air-dry. Samples which were ethylene-glycolated were placed in a
dessicator for a period of 36 hours, removed, and analyzed immediately. Heated samples
were placed in an oven at 550-600C for 1.5 hours, cooled for 15-20 minutes, and
analyzed. Each, sample was analyzed using the Siemens Diffraktometer D5000 at 40.0 kV
and 30.0 mA using Cu K-alpha radiation. Samples were scanned at 0.02 26 intervals for
0.8 s between 3.0 and 40.0 two-theta. Oriented samples were used as they enhance the
basal 001 section of the various phyllosilicates without compromising the characteristic
diffraction peaks of other minerals. Table CI lists the diagnostic peaks for the used to
determine the phyllosilicate mineralogy of SCC, QSP, and OC alteration.
The interpretation of X-ray diffraction patterns for clay minerals is based on peak
position. Peak position is related to the Braggs equation: nk = 2d sin8. At small
diffraction angles (20 <40), various members of the (001) series for a particular mineral
are equidistant when one-dimensional oriented analyses are made (Moore and Reynolds
1989). Since regularly spaced diffraction peaks are the product of a single mineral and
199
irregular spacing is the product of two or more minerals, this criterion is used to determine
if one or more minerals are present.

Figures CI, C2, and C3 illustrate the techniques used to identify the phyllosilicate
composition of a SCC altered sample from 248m depth in hole CCD 148. Figure CI
illustrates the X-ray diffraction patterns of the unaltered, glycolated and heated samples.
The first peak in the unaltered sample (black line) is a combination of a large smectite peak
and a small chlorite peak. The next two peaks are sericite and kaolinite respectively. The
glyocated (light green) sample pulls the smectite peak to the left but does not affect any of
the other peaks. The heated (dark green) sample destroys the smectite and kaolinite peaks
but does not affect the sericite and chlorite peaks. Figure C2 illustrates the effect of
glycolation on the same sample. The unaltered sample has a combined smectite-chlorite
peak which is separated by glycolation as the smectite peak moves right and the smaller
chlorite peak remains in the same location.

APPENDIX D
Sample List and Logassay Database
A total of 177 rock samples were collected in Peru, the great majority of which
were from drill core. 108 polished-thin sections were analyzed. 54 treated clay samples
were analyzed using XRD, 42 samples were analyzed chemically using ICP-MS and
XRF. 4 high grade samples were analysed using the SEM determine the presence of free
Au. The columns in the sample list which list alteration assemblage (K, SCC, QSP, and
OC) denote which alteration types occur, determined by petrographic and XRD analyses.
All samples are from Quartz Diorite 1 except those noted in the QD2 column which are
Quartz Diorite 2 column. The CHEM column denotes samples analyzed by XRF or ICP-
MS. The XRD column denotes samples analyzed using XRD and samples with values
higher than 1 had more than 1 clay alteration type which was analyzed. T/S column
denotes samples from which polished-thin sections were made and analyzed. The SEM
column denotes polished-thin sections which were analyzed with the SEM.
The logassay database has the hole, interval of sample, true depth, Au (ppm) and
Cu (%) in the first six columns. The next four columns are for the intensity of alteration
for K-silicate, SCC, QSP and OC alteration. The scheme for these values is in Chapter 3.
A value which has .5 indicates an interval which has intercalated alteration assemblages.
For example an interval with SCC = 2.5 and QSP = 3.5 has intercalated rocks with SCC
alteration intensity 2 and QSP alteration intensity 3. The comment column is followed by
columns of vein density given in volume %. When the data was entered veins were
categorised into a larger number of types. M veins consist of M veins and quartz oxide
(QOx) veins. QP veins consist of QP1 (early QP) and QP2 (late QP) veins. P veins
consist of P veins and vuggy pyrite (VP) veins. The rock column denotes rock type.
205
Quartz Diorite 1 = 1, Quartz Diorite 2 = 2, igneous contact zone = 1.5, limestone = 3, and
breccia = 4.

APPENDIX E
Histograms of Logassay Data
Histograms were created for each hydrothermal alteration assemblage to
determine the amount of overlap between alteration assemblages in the intervals of the
logassay database. All intervals with an alteration intensity of 2 or greater are classified
by the affect of a particular alteration assemblage. For each alteration assemblage, the
total population of affected intervals is plotted with the proportions of that population
which are also affected by the other three hydrothermal alteration assemblages.
