What geological belts are Kairos Gold's projects in?
Chile's Andes are organised into north-south metallogenic belts, each formed during a different period of magmatism. Two of them matter to Kairos Gold.
Central Cretaceous-Palaeocene Copper-Gold Belt
Hosts Las Garillas and Carmona. It is known for porphyry copper-gold systems, high-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver veins and skarns, and for deposits with long production lives. Oro Brillante sits within the Vicuña Fault system at the eastern boundary of the belt. The nearby Carmen de Andacollo mine is an operating example of the belt's copper-gold endowment.
Eocene-Miocene Andean Mega Porphyry Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Belt
Hosts La Fortuna. This is the belt of Chile's giant porphyry deposits, where large, concentrated bodies of copper, gold and molybdenum mineralization make bulk-tonnage mining economic. La Fortuna's neighbours include Pascua-Lama and El Morro.
