Looking at the Structure inside Giant Porphyry Ore Deposits: the Chuquicamata and Rio Blanco Cases

This paper looks at the structure inside two giant porphyry deposits, Chuquicamata and Rio Blanco. In both studies, all available historic data derived from geotechnical and geological requirements is captured, organized, and merged with regional geologic data, providing a better and more robust view of the tectonic evolution of the clustered Cu porphyries.
