Gold in Intrusives
• Host rocks - Mainly within a differentiated suite of intermediate to
mafic intrusive rocks - diorites, tonalites and gabbros, gold bearing
veins in metasediments
• Gold Association - dominated by veins, sheeted veins and
stockworks of quartz –Albite +/- Au, pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite
and sphalerite

El Zorro IRG Intrusions
• A fertile igneous suite -
• hydrous gabbroic magma sources – wet magmas containing hornblende and biotite
• Differentiated (telescoping??) comagmatic igneous suite of intrusions
• High igneous variation from a single magma source – gabbro – tonalite – diorite - granodiorite
The El Zorro data are quite similar to the intrusives
from the Tintina IRG Belt in the Yukon; notably, the Cs
is elevated in both the Yukon and El Zorro relative to
gold-fertile arc rocks elsewhere.

Evidence of an IRG System
IRG: Tell tale signs at El
Zorro include:
• Main host rocks dominated by
tonalite and granodiorite
• Partial melting of immediate
wallrocks, in close spatial
association with wollastonite-
bearing skarn
• Presence of exo- and endo-skarns
– garnet/actinolite/epidote, locally
cut by late stage felsic dykes
• Au and albite-quartz-sericite
bleaching around sheeted quartz
veins as system cooled
• Strong (brittle) structural controls
on mineralization
• Distinctive metal association with
relative low S content: As, Sb, Bi,
Te, W
TESORO RESOURCES (ASX:TSO) | EL ZORRO PRESENTATION 9
Structure – Key to Ore Formation
• Structural control important for Fault architecture set up by Atacama Fault System – NW splays
channelling fluid and providing
dilation within host rocks for AFS
ore formation.
• Master fault zones control
location of conjugate NW fault
sets and associated sheeted
vein systems within the
intrusive hosts.
• Possibly shared structural
controls with adjacent IOCGs NW SPLAYS

El Zorro IRG System – Implications for Exploration – What to look for?
Regional
• Prospective zone distal to the west of the Atacama Fault System
• Major NW crustal scale splay faults – may have IOCG mineralisation close to the AFS
• “Wet” intrusive suites close to the Jurassic – Cretaceous igneous boundary
Local
• Igneous diversity – wide variety of genetically related igneous intrusive rocks as dykes and sills
• Proximity to larger intrusions
• High T assemblages in veins and faults
• Bleaching of host rocks
• Metal association: As-Sb-Bi-Te-W with relatively low total S and free Au
TESORO RESOURCES (ASX:TSO) | EL ZORRO PRESENTATION 11
El Zorro IRG - Ternera is Just the Beginning
• Newly recognised Intrusion-Related
Gold system in Chile, the “El Zorro
IRG Belt”
• R&D continuing with new PhD
student (U Auckland)
• S, O isotopes and mineral
microchemsitry to further understand
mineralisation
• radiogenic isotopes and geochronology
to fingerprint intrusives
• Potential exists elsewhere in coastal
Cordillera
• Multiple drill rigs on site at present,
testing targets and expanding main
resource
• Tesoro has explored <5% of its
prospective ground Ternera Looking North to Toro Blanco

Mineralization Style
1. Low grade gold mineralization
disseminated in matrix and fragments
of phreatomagmatic breccias
2. High grade gold mineralization is
mainly hosted in the Black Banded
Veins (BBV).
3. Dark-grey silica in the matrix of the
hydrothermal breccias.
4. The veinlets systems are mostly
hosted in the complex breccia and
secondarily in the Dacite Dome.
5. There are two structural systems that
are controlling the vein
mineralization, the most important
are the NW and EW tensional
systems.

Fenix, Ore Deposit Type
1. The gold mineralization occurs in the upper part of
the Volcano system. Hosted in the diatreme-dome
complex.
2. Associated with Black Banded Veinlets (BBV), which
are filling open spaces.
3. Magnetite associated with the BBV and traces of
sulfides. Is it a hypogene oxidation?
4. Abundant vapor-rich fluid inclusions that occurs at
the boiling level.
5. Weak hydrothermal alteration located very close to
the veinlets, traces of smectite, illite, and chlorite.
6. Low content of Hg, As y Sb.
7. It is a unique deposit in the Maricunga belt.
8. Therefore, regarding the geological evidences, our
proposal is classify the Fenix Gold as Low Sulfidation
Type Deposit.
