The late Miocene to early Pliocene mineralized centers of the Rio Blanco-Los Bronces
porphyry copper cluster constitute the largest known copper concentration in the Earth's …

Abstract The Andes of central Chile are composed mostly of Cenozoic volcanic rocks,
erupted during the opening and subsequent inversion of the intra-arc volcano-tectonic …

The evolution of the Main Cordillera of Central Chile is characterized by the formation and
subsequent inversion of an intra-arc volcano-tectonic basin. The world's largest porphyry Cu …

Long-lived, high-angle fault systems constitute high-permeability zones that can localize the
upward flow of hydrothermal fluids and magma throughout the upper crust. Intersections of …

The Andes are thought to be formed through discrete contractional stages separated by
periods of little to no orogenic construction. This paper analyzes the intervals between the …

The Río Blanco-Los Bronces deposit is the largest Cu-Mo porphyry deposit in the world in
terms of contained Cu metal. It is the product of protracted superposed magmatic and …

This study aims to explain the selective reactivation of normal faults during the Andean
orogeny at the Southern Central Andes western flank. We conducted a structural mapping …

Understanding what produces and how to detect fertile magmas, capable of forming large,
economic porphyry-type deposits, is not only a major scientific quest, but it is also relevant …

Andean-type magmatism and the term 'andesite'are often used as the norm for the results of
subduction of oceanic lithosphere under a continent, and the typical rock formed. Although …
