Name(s) in local language(s):
Mina Alcaparrosa, Cerritos Bayos, Calama, El Loa, Antofagasta, Chile
Located on the north side of Cerro Alcaparrosa, about 3 km WNW of the railroad station of Cerritos Bayos.
According to the Servicio Nacional de GeologΓa y MinerΓa (Sernageomin) the exact location is -22.632890 S, -69.185490 W, see https://portalgeo.sernageomin.cl/sia/PDF_Complete/ficha_yacimiento_3547_24122014.pdf
Oxidation takes place under extremely dry conditions. The water table is very deep and rains are infrequent (approximately every 10 years). Some sulfates are dissolved and redeposited, while the newly oxidized materials occur in extremely acidic conditions.
