contents A genetic model for the Los Uvares gold deposit, Baja California Sur, Mexico H. Huyck A. Carrillo Ciencias de la Tierra gold exploration Los Uvares gold deposit Baja California peninsula epithermal gold deposits Los Uvares gold deposit is a relatively small ore deposit (~500,000 tons of oreaveraging 3 grams of gold per ton), located in the crystalline complex of the CaboSan Lucas block in southern Baja California peninsula. Previous proposed geneticmodels for Los Uvares gold deposit are: porphyry gold, and tonalite dike-fault (Escand-n, 1983, Romero, 1986). However, the petrographic evidence suggeststhat Los Uvares is a fault-related disseminated gold deposit (Carrillo, 1990;Carrillo and Huyck, 1990). A comparison between the Los Uvares deposit withporphyry gold-copper, detachment-fault, Carlin type and epithermal depositssuggests that the Uvares is most similar to epithermal gold deposits. The modelpresented here could be applied as an exploration tool for other deposits in theBaja California peninsula. 1997 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56836204 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.2 Vol.36
