A model for the lithospheric architecture of the Central Andes and the localization of giant porphyry copper deposit clusters
In the central Andes, giant porphyry copper deposits of similar ages group into discrete
geographic clusters that are regularly spaced and aligned within orogen-parallel belts. This …
