Prospecto Molino — IOCG Cu-Au, Atacama

Chañaral, Atacama, Chile
Published by ENAMI· Official disclosure· Data as of 12 Aug 2026
Project description

Prospecto Molino es un yacimiento IOCG de cobre-oro en etapa de exploración básica ubicado en la Región de Atacama, emplazado en granitoides del Jurásico tardío a Cretácico intruidos en volcánicos, carbonatos y rocas paleozoicas a lo largo del Sistema de Falla de Atacama. La mineralización se presenta en vetas hospedadas en plutones, asociadas a diques dioríticos o andesíticos, con assemblages que incluyen magnetita, cuarzo, turmalina, calcopirita, oro, especularita, crisocola y atacamita. Los cuerpos mineralizados, inferidos a partir de laboreos históricos, corresponden a clavos lenticulares de manteo subvertical con potencias de hasta 4 metros y corridas de hasta 30 metros.

Geological summary

El prospecto se emplaza en un conjunto de granitoides del Jurásico tardío a Cretácico, intruidos en unidades más antiguas: volcánicos de las formaciones La Negra y Punta del Cobre, rocas carbonatadas del Grupo Chañarcillo y el complejo epimetamórfico paleozoico, a lo largo del Sistema de Falla de Atacama. Los yacimientos corresponden en su totalidad a vetas que ocurren en plutones, asociadas a diques dioríticos o andesíticos. La mineralogía incluye magnetita, cuarzo, turmalina, limonitas, oro, calcopirita, especularita, calcita, crisocola, atacamita y, en partes, epidota y feldespato potásico. A partir de los laboreos existentes (piques y chiflones por veta) se infiere que los cuerpos mineralizados corresponden a clavos de mayor dimensión en vertical que en corrida, con manteo subvertical y formas lenticulares, de hasta 4 m de potencia en corridas de hasta 30 m.
