The deposits are hosted within the Cenozoic Hog Heaven volcanic field (HHVF), a 30 to 36 Ma suite that consists predominantly of rhyodacite flow-dome complexes and pyroclastic rocks. The HHVF is underlain by shallow-dipping siliclastic sediments of the Mesoproterozoic Belt Supergroup. These sediments are known to host important SEDEX (e.g., Sullivan) and red-bed copper (e.g., Spar Lake, Rock Creek, Montanore) deposits rich in Ag-Pb- Zn-Cu-Ba. The HHVF erupted through and deposited on the Belt strata during a period of Oligocene extension. Outcrops and drill core samples from Hog Heaven show alteration patterns characteristic of volcanic-hosted, high-sulfidation epithermal deposits. Vuggy quartz transitions laterally into quartz-alunite alteration where large sanidine phenocrysts (up to 4 cm) have been replaced by fine-grained, pink alunite, and/or argillic alteration that is marked by an abundance of white kaolinite-dickite clay.

  • Chilean Notes, 1962-1963
    CHILEAN NOTES ' CHILEAN NOTES, 1962-1963 BY EVELIO ECHEVARRfA C. (Three illustrations: nos. 2I-23) HE mountaineering seasons of I 962 and I 963 have seen an increase in expeditionary activity beyond the well-trodden Central Andes of Chile. This activity is expected to increase in the next years, particularly in Bolivia and Patagonia. In the Central Andes, \vhere most of the mountaineering is concen­ trated, the following first ascents were reported for the summer months of I962: San Augusto, I2,o6o ft., by M. Acufia, R. Biehl; Champafiat, I3,I90 ft., by A. Diaz, A. Figueroa, G. and P. de Pablo; Camanchaca (no height given), by G. Fuchloger, R. Lamilla, C. Sepulveda; Los Equivo­ cados, I3,616 ft., by A. Ducci, E. Eglington; Puente Alto, I4,764 ft., by F. Roulies, H. Vasquez; unnamed, I4,935 ft., by R. Biehl, E. Hill, IVI. V ergara; and another unnamed peak, I 5,402 ft., by M. Acufia, R. Biehl. Besides the first ascent of the unofficially named peak U niversidad de Humboldt by the East German Expedition, previously reported by Mr. T. Crombie, there should be added to the credit of the same party the second ascent of Cerro Bello, I7,o6o ft. (K. Nickel, F. Rudolph, M. Zielinsky, and the Chilean J. Arevalo ), and also an attempt on the un­ climbed North-west face of Marmolejo, 20,0I3 ft., frustrated by adverse weather and technical conditions of the ice. In the same area two new routes were opened: Yeguas Heladas, I5,7I5 ft., direct by the southern glacier, by G.

  • Appendix A. Supplementary Material to the Manuscript
    Appendix A. Supplementary material to the manuscript: The role of crustal and eruptive processes versus source variations in controlling the oxidation state of iron in Central Andean magmas 1. Continental crust beneath the CVZ Country Rock The basement beneath the sampled portion of the CVZ belongs to the Paleozoic Arequipa- Antofalla terrain – a high temperature metamorphic terrain with abundant granitoid intrusions that formed in response to Paleozoic subduction (Lucassen et al., 2000; Ramos et al., 1986). In Northern Chile and Northwestern Argentina this Paleozoic metamorphic-magmatic basement is largely homogeneous and felsic in composition, consistent with the thick, weak, and felsic properties of the crust beneath the CVZ (Beck et al., 1996; Fig. A.1). Neodymium model ages of exposed Paleozoic metamorphic-magmatic basement and sediments suggest a uniform Proterozoic protolith, itself derived from intrusions and sedimentary rock (Lucassen et al., 2001). AFC Model Parameters Pervasive assimilation of continental crust in the Central Andean ignimbrite magmas is well established (Hildreth and Moorbath, 1988; Klerkx et al., 1977; Fig. A.1) and has been verified by detailed analysis of radiogenic isotopes (e.g. 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd) on specific systems within the CVZ (Kay et al., 2011; Lindsay et al., 2001; Schmitt et al., 2001; Soler et al., 2007). Isotopic results indicate that the CVZ magmas are the result of mixing between a crustal endmember, mainly gneisses and plutonics that have a characteristic crustal signature of high 87Sr/86Sr and low 145Nd/144Nd, and the asthenospheric mantle (low 87Sr/86Sr and high 145Nd/144Nd; Fig. 2). In Figure 2, we model the amount of crustal assimilation required to produce the CVZ magmas that are targeted in this study.

Understanding these processes, cataloging their spatio-temporal occurrence, and detecting, tracking, and characterizing these events would advance the science of volcano monitoring and help mitigate hazards. Seismic and acoustic methods show promise for achieving these objectives: many surficial mass movements generate observable seismic and acoustic signals, and many volcanoes are already monitored. Significant progress has been made toward understanding, modeling, and extracting quantitative information from seismic and infrasonic signals generated by surficial mass movements. However, much work remains. In this paper, we review the state of the art of the topic, covering a range of scales and event types from individual rock falls to sector collapses.

Abstract This work aims to assess geothermal power potential in identified high enthalpy geothermal areas in the Chilean Andes, based on reservoir temperature and volume. In addition, we present a set of highly favorable geothermal areas, but without enough data in order to quantify the resource. Information regarding geothermal systems was gathered and ranked to assess Indicated or Inferred resources, depending on the degree of confidence that a resource may exist as indicated by the geoscientific information available to review. Resources were estimated through the USGS Heat in Place method. A Monte Carlo approach is used to quantify variability in boundary conditions.
