Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Department, Peru

StandardDetailedBy ChemistryMineral Photos (185)Site Photos (6)Search Google

Uchucchacua mine is very close to the Raura mine in Cajatambo province, leading to label confusion.

Complex vein mineralization related to a dacitic intrusion cutting through Cretaceous and Tertiary formations on West side of Occidental Cordillera of Central Andes.

Ref: The Mineralogical Record: 28: 58-61.
