Hydrothermal LP-LT deposit, located on the north rim of Aguachile mountain, about 80 miles SSE of Marathon, Texas.
Caldera subsidence, with a rhyolitic porphyry circular dike, in Cretaceous sedimentary series.
Be/F veins and replacement on the internal rim of the dike.
This mineralization is related to the intrusion, in the core of the caldera, of a porphyritic alkaline quartz syenite.
