The Volcán, a Magmatic Iron Deposit in NW Mexico: Distribution and General Characteristics
The majority of iron deposits in Sonora are associated with skarn zones and/or replacements related to intrusive bodies of granodiorite-quartz monzonite compositions, not greater than 5 Mt and grades less than 50% total Fe. Unlike these deposits, there is the presence of iron deposits whose geologic...

Unlike these deposits, there is the presence of iron deposits whose geological characteristics, alteration-mineralization styles and tectonic context, seem to be associated with magmatic processes, which can be classified as IOCG deposits of the iron-apatite type. A typical example of this type is El Volcán, a deposit of ~ 24 Mt of Fe, with an average grade of 40 to 60% Fe. This type of mineral deposit could extend to the western side of Mexico, which represents new opportunities for exploration of this type of deposits. La mayoría de los depósitos de hierro en Sonora se encuentran asociados a zonas de skarn y de reemplazamiento relacionadas a cuerpos intrusivos de composiciones granodiorítica-cuarzomonzonítica, no mayores de 5 Mt y con leyes menores de 50% de Fe total. Sin embargo, se ha documentado la presencia de depósitos de hierro cuyas características geológicas, estilos de alteración-mineralización y contexto tectónico, parecen asociarse a procesos magmáticos, los cuales pueden ser catalogados como depósitos IOCG del tipo hierro-apatito. Un ejemplo de este tipo de depósito es El Volcán, con un tonelaje de ~24 Mt de Fe y ley entre 40 a 60% de Fe total. Este tipo de manifestación mineral podría extenderse al lado occidental de México, abriendo una puerta importante para exploración de este tipo de yacimientos.
