Summary The copper deposits of Peru consist of porphyry CuM̨o, Au, Ag, breccia pipe Cu-Mo, enargite vein and replacement CuĄu, Ag, Zn, Pb, calcic skarn CuF̨e, Au, Zn, amphibolitic skarn CuF̨e, volcanogenic massive sulfide Cu-Zn, vein and manto CuĄg, Pb, Zn, Sn, W, and sandstone ('red bed') Cu types. The vast majority of these deposits formed during the Andean Orogeny and are geographically and chronologically distributed in well-defined metallogenic domains. These domains correlate with geochemically distinct magmatic episodes.
