Summary Over the course of a week, participants of this student field trip visited several epithermal and porphyry precious metal deposits in the Maricunga belt and copper-silver IOCG and manto deposits in northern Chile, with visits to active open-pit and underground operations, including Punta del Cobre, Atacama Kozan, Las Luces, El Guanaco, and Marimaca, as well as drill core reviews of exploration projects at Caspiche, Cerro Casale, and Salares Norte. The geology and mineralization of these deposits was studied in the context of regional and local geological settings, focusing on their similarities and differences, ore resources, deposit models, and exploration methods; the strong structural control on most of the deposits was highlighted. The guidebook includes detailed course itinerary and route map.
