Illustrates the geochemical zonation patterns within the Sombrero mineralized system. The system is defined by a lead – zinc halo that occurs over an area of approximately 15 x 10 kilometers. Internal to this halo there are three copper – gold systems that are exposed at the Sombrero, Nioc and Good Lucky occurrences. Molybdenum geochemical signatures are typically located internal to the copper – gold systems and are spatially associated with evolved monzonitic intrusive rocks that are associated with porphyry-styles of mineralization. The image on the left shows the mineralized system on a geologic map with the volcanic cover that is present; whereas, the image on the right shows the same mineralized system on an interpreted geologic map with the volcanic cover removed.
