Productora Cu-Au-Mo deposit, Chile - a porphyry related magmatic hydrothermal breccia complex

The Productora Cu-Au-Mo deposit is an enigmatic breccia complex that presents characteristics consistent with both the porphyry and IOCG models. Further intrigue arises from neighbouring magnetite-apatite and porphyry-Cu-Au-Mo mineralisation, making Productora a deposit of significance in the ongoing debate over possible relationships between these mineralisation styles. In addition, important deposit, camp and regional scale exploration implications emerge from understanding the genesis and evolution of the Productora deposit.
