La Lenguita Target (500m x 500m) area is defined by rock influenced by strong supergene alteration, phaneritic to aphanitic, dark green to black. The rock exhibits strong silicification with irregular patches of chlorite-magnetite mineralization; millimeter scaled quartz veins with sericite halo; magnetite veins and pyite-molybdenite-covellite veins also present. In some areas there is up to 10% fine grained pyrite. Certain locales have traces of chalcopyrite and malachite. The Manzanillo porphyry is dominated by a strong intermediate argillic overprint, which affects significant portions of the early diorite and rhyodacitic tuffs. The remainder of the intrusive is characterized by chlorite-overprint; hydrothermal biotite is subordinate. Historical accounts in the Manzanillo porphyry target report elevated gold mineralization occurrences.
