Abstract/Notes | The Plomosas deposit is the product of a sequence of overlapping events of Pb–Zn, Ag, and Au low sulfidation mineralization that occurred in Mexico’s southwestern Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO). Field observations, detailed petrography, and U–Pb age dating of the entire stratigraphic sequence were used to characterize the magmatic evolution of the district and to obtain new insights into the evolution of the SMO. The stratigraphy at Plomosas is distinct from other areas to the north as it lacks Jurassic marine units, Cretaceous continental volcanic successions as well as Cretaceous and Palaeocene batholiths. The local basement is composed of undeformed Late Jurassic volcaniclastic units and coeval felsic intrusions. Early to late Oligocene silicic ignimbrites, intermediate lava flows, and occasional basaltic flows unconformably overlie the Jurassic basement. Several Oligocene intermediate to felsic porphyry bodies and rhyolitic domes crosscut the stratigraphy. The upper volcanic sequence is separated into two packages by an angular unconformity. Mineralization produced an early Pb–Zn-mineralized hydrothermal fault breccia, followed by Cu–Ag veins and late Au veins. The Pb–Zn mineralized breccia is hosted by ~30 Ma Oligocene volcanic units that form the basal sequence. The Cu–Ag and Au-rich veins overlap and crosscut the early hydrothermal features and cut the late Oligocene volcanic cover that unconformably overlie the basal sequence. Our results highlight the importance of episodes of Oligocene magmatism to the genesis of mineralization in the southwestern SMO specifically through a genetic link between Pb–Zn veins and intermediate Oligocene intrusive bodies, and of Ag and Au veins with late Oligocene volcanism. |
