Summary
The Chuin, Chuin 2 and Nino Luis mining claims occur along the same mineralized lineament as Bisbee, Arizona. Mineralization and hydrothermal alteration associated with a zoned intrusion exhibit a porphyry copper signature. Significant gold, silver, molybdenum and tungsten concentrations also occur with the copper mineralization.
Contact skarns bearing copper and molybdenum are peripheral to the intrusive complex. Lead-zinc-silver manto deposits are distal to the porphyry mineralization.
The zonation of hydrothermal alteration, in conjunction with that of mineralization, is typical of porphyry-centered system. The presence of a mineralized breccia pipe, in addition to peripheral skarn and replacement deposits, supports this hypothesis. Mineralized volcanic rocks are assumed to be coeval with the intrusive complex which was the source of the metals.
