3 TMT Project Satellite Spectral Study Area, Conclusions 1
Regional Cu-Au and Au-Ag-(Zn) deposits predominantly related to porphyry- and epithermal-systems
Majority of mineralization associated with Neogene volcanic- and intrusive-complexes, faults and geological lineaments
•
The TMT area is characterized by hydrothermal alteration that is visible using Google Earth and Landsat imagery
•
•
The area sits along a regional N-trending gravity gradient in a zone of NW-oriented, arc-transverse gravity lineaments
Regional NW-trending lineaments are defined by topography, gravity, geology and hydrothermal alteration; these arc-cross structure extend through Argentina
and Chile, and localize many large Cu-Au-Ag deposits
Satellite-derived (ASTER and Sentinel 2) data delineate hydrothermal alteration zones and known deposits
•
•
Majority of the deposits lie along zones of Fe-oxide - kaolinite - phyllic alteration and near the intersection of alteration zones of multiple orientations; N-, NW-
and NE-trends are most common
Mineral models for muscovite, pyrophyllite (+kaolinite), jarosite, chlorite and epidote show zonation and provide vectors to the hotter, proximal portions of
known ore systems (e.g., Filo del Sol and Veladero), and characterize TMT prospects (Tambo South, Malambo, Toro and others)
•
Zones of increased muscovite crystallinity typically provide vectors towards the hotter portions of the ore systems
.
•
An elevated ASTER thermal response coincides with increased silica / residual quartz alteration and defines the central portions of high-sulfidation epithermal
systems (e.g., Filo del Sol and Veladero)
Eleven areas of interest / exploration targets are delineated on the basis of satellite spectral results
•
Total of seven A-class targets and four B-class targets; prioritized from 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) within each target class
•
The most compelling targets occur in Tambo South, Tambo V, Malambo and Toro
Additional anomalies are recognized in Tambo North, Malambo 3, Malambo 4 and Lola; A high-priority area lies adjacent (external) to the southern boundary of
Tambo VI
