ABSTRACT: Gold placers andprimary mineralizations occur in the eastern slopè of the
Cordillera Oriental range in the Santa Victoria mining district, Salta, Argentina. The
fluviotorrential deposits, with colluvial conglomerates and fluvial sediments were deposited
after an important Andean uplift (Diaguitic diastrophic phase). Placers occur into Pliocene to
Holocene deposits that lie dong the Andean valleys and in the piedmont of the Chaco-
Subandean country. In this morphotectonic evolution the high river basin provides gold from
the Ordovician marine rocks and their endogenous stratabound sources. The main area for
alluvial gold prospecting can be estimated in 4500 km2. At present, seven gold target
prospects in an early exploration stage were localized. The average positive metal contents in
Pueblo Minas - Santa Cruz - Pucara areas must be arranged between 2,04 to 6,l g/m3 Au.
There are very important relationships for gold-bearing process in the Quiaquefia
metallogenic province.
