Porphyry copper deposit.
One of two pits (the other the La Pava deposit), part of the Cerro Quema Project area.
The mineralization is hosted in the dacite dome complex of the Río Quema Formation, a late Campanian to Maastrichtian volcanic sequence that outcrops in the central and southeastern parts of the Peninsula. The Rio Quema Formation is bounded to the north by a series of diorite and quartz diorite batholiths (e.g., the El Montuoso and Valle Rico batholiths) and to the south by the Azuero Igneous Basement. The Cerro Quema deposit is estimated to be early Eocene in age and may be related to subvolcanic porphyry intrusions contemporaneous with the Valle Rico batholith (~ 55–49 Ma). The measured, indicated and inferred resources as of 2014 are 35.98 Mt. @ 0.77 g/t Au containing a total of 893,600 troy ounces Au of which 183,930 troy ounces are gold equivalent of the contained copper.
