Mina Marcona
Fe-Cu-Au mine (www.portergeo.com.au/database/mineinfo.asp?mineid=mn673)
The Marcona iron ± copper deposit is located approximately 400 km south of Lima, Peru and less than 20 km from the Pacific Ocean coast and the port of San Nicolas. It is the largest iron accumulation with associated Cu and Au along the western coast of South America.
Approximate resources at Marcona are more than 1400 Mt of iron ore. A further 1000 Mt of magnetite mineralisation is known some 30 km to the southeast, at the similar, Pampa de Pongo deposit which is hosted by sediments and tuffs at a higher stratigraphic position, and is concealed below 20 m of sand. Both deposits contain some Cu and Au and exhibit numerous features that allow their inclusion as "Iron Oxide-Copper-Gold" style deposits.
The Marcona iron deposits were first identified in 1915 and mining commenced in 1953, while artesenal copper mining had been carried out in the district from the late 19th century. The larger iron bodies are hosted by the Lower Paleozoic Marcona and Middle to Upper Jurassic Río Grande Formations. The Marcona Formation is dominated by arenites and both calcitic and dolomitic carbonates, whereas the Río Grande Formation comprises a thick sequence of basaltic andesites and andesites (sills and flows), volcaniclastics and minor limestones.
Although the iron ore at Marcona includes major carbonate replacement facies, the iron deposits widely exhibit intra-mineralisation hydrothermal breccia textures and multistage iron oxide ±copper sulphide mineralisation. Copper mineralisation is mainly associated with magnetite and lesser specularite. The iron oxide bodies strike northeast and north-northwest and show both fault and lithological controls on ore geometry. Intra- and post-iron mineralisation igneous activity in the Marcona Mine area included dacitic/granodioritic dykes and andesitic "ocöite" dykes.
The age of the Marcona deposit is uncertain, although the preferred genetic model for the district involves a large metal flux coeval with deep-seated Jurassic, and probably Cretaceous igneous intrusive activity. At a local scale, iron oxide-associated mineralisation at Marcona and the surrounding district probably formed in an environment characterised by repeated crustal extension over a 20 to 60 m.y. period. The anomalous concentration of thick andesitic volcanics or sills and dykes at Marcona, and evidence for district-scale thermal anomalies preceding and during the main introduction of iron oxide mineralisation, indicate that the area was also an important volcanic centre and the site of a long-lived thermal anomaly (Hawkes, et al., 2002).
