“…At a deposit scale, the San Francisco de los Andes tourmaline-quartz-cemented breccia complex is spatially and genetically associated with the Tocota Pluton, and has cut the Carboniferous sedimentary host rocks (e.g., [2]; Figure 1). The breccia-hosted deposit is characterized by a complex Bi-Cu-Au-As-Fe-Zn-Pb-Ag mineral assemblage, which includes hypogene sulfides, sulfosalts, tellurides, and native elements, as well as supergene oxides, hydroxides, arsenates, sulfates, carbonates, and secondary sulfides and sulfosalts [5]. At a district scale, the study area is characterized by marine sedimentary rocks and granitoids ( Figure 1).…”
