In high sulfidation systems, acidic hydrothermal fluids can produce wide alteration zones with specific mineral assemblages/associations as well as identifiable and elemental distribution patterns. The Lepanto Cu-Au deposit exhibits a consistent zonation pattern of silicic alteration near the Cu-Au...
