Resumen
El depósito Paramillos de Uspallata consta de 33 vetas polimetálicas encajadas en la secuencia triásica del Grupo Uspallata compuesta por rocas sedimentarias y volcaniclásticas intercaladas con basaltos alcalinos. En el área también afloran intrusivos andesíticos y dacíticos de edad miocena. Se reconocieron 3 órdenes estructurales que comprenden fallas inversas de alto ángulo, corrimientos y fallas de rumbo, cuyo origen se vincula a extensión triásica y acortamiento neógeno. Las vetas están dentro del tercer orden estructural, presentan orientación principal NO, ONO y minoritariamente OSO. Para comprender su origen se analizó la estructuración y los contextos geodinámicos triásico y neógeno. Estudios petro-mineralógicos y estructurales realizados en ocho<br />vetas permitieron determinar que están emplazadas en fracturas dilatantes con desplazamientos normales y de rumbo vinculadas a una estructura de primer orden de escala cortical. El análisis cinemático muestra una dirección con azimut 060° de apertura durante el emplazamiento de las vetas, asociable a los esfuerzos triasicos en la región.
The Paramillos de Uspallata ore is composed of 33-polimetalic veins emplaced in the Triassic Uspallata Group, which consist of sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks interbedded with alkaline basalts and Miocene andesitic rocks. The structure of the area comprise at least three orders of structures developed during Triassic extension of the Cuyo basin and the shortening of Cenozoic Andean orogeny, including high angle reverse faults, thrust and strike-slip faults. The veins were included in the third order, presenting NW, WNW and minor WSW trending. We analyzed the Triassic and Neogene structuration and geodynamic context. We carried out structural and petro-mineralogical analysis in eight veins of the deposit in order to get an approximation to their origin. The results show that the veins were emplaced in dilatant fractures with normal and strike slip displacement, which are associated to a first order cortical scale structure. The kinematic analyses shows a tension direction at 060° strike during the mineralization, which could be assigned to Triassic regional extensional regimen.
