Intermediate sulfidation epithermal
The geology of Rio Mogue comprises andesites and basalts of the Playa Venado Formation overlain by andesitic lavas, shale, limestone and limestone breccias, and finally by tuffs, and cut by dacitic porphyry intrusions. Alteration is silicic, argillic, propylitic and carbonate. Gold mineralization is associated with arsenian pyrite and is hosted by quartz veins and silicification including silicified limestones. Gold correlates with high As (1,000s to >10,000 ppm), accompanied by anomalous Hg and Sb, with low Ag and base metals.
