Oxidic Cu ores hosted by sandstone bodies which were deposited in a high-energy playa/marginal sandflat environment.
The ore minerals (copper, cuprite, tenorite, atacamite) occur dominantly as a matrix in lithic arkoses; they have formed by the replacement of earlier carbonate and sulphate cements. In a structurally complex zone, Cu-Fe and Cu sulphides are deposited in cross-cutting fractures and commonly replace evaporite veins.
Both the sandstones and the metals were derived from a calc-alkaline volcano-plutonic complex to the east of the basin.
