초록

멕시코 중부 산 루이스 포토시주의 기반암은 상부 고생대 변성암으로 구성되어있으며, 산 루이스 포토시주의 북동쪽에 위치한 시에라 데 카토르세 중심부에 노출되어있다. 고생대 기반암을 부정합으로 덮고 있는 퇴적층은 상부 쥬라기 해성층으로 구성되며, 자카테카스층과 상부 트라이아스기 육성 우이자찰층의 적색층준과 일치한다. 이들 층은 쥬라기 라 호야 적색층 또는 상부 쥬라기 해성층에 의해 부정합으로 덮혀있다. 산 루이스 포토시주에서, 이 층위에는 백악기 석회질 해성층이 정합으로 놓여있다. 신생대층들은 상기한 암석들중 일부를 부정합으로 덮고 있으며, 해성 쇄설암뿐만아니라 미분화된 화산암들로 구성된다. 현존하는 관입 화성암들은 산성 내지 중성 조성이며 변성 기반암 및 퇴적암을 관입한다. 플라이스토세에 증발성 퇴적물을 수반한 역암들이 퇴적되었다. 제4기 지질은 현무암류, 산록퇴적물, 충적층, 증발암 및 염류 피각층으로 구성되어있다. 산 루이스 포토시 주에는, 매우 다양한 금속 및 비금속 광상유형이 알려져있다. 이들 광상의 모암은 매우 다양하며 고생대부터 제3기까지를 구성하는 층들을 포함한다. 광화연령은 약 75%가 제3기이며 주로 후생성 광상이다. 결론적으로, 멕시코 산 루이스 포토시주의 지질-자원 정보는 향후 국내기업이 멕시코의 광업분야 진출시 금속 및 비금속 광화대 부존지 예측 및 유망광화대 선정에 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

The Potosinian geological basement in central Mexico is comprised of the Upper Paleozoic metamorphic rocks, which crop out on the Sierra de Catorce nucleus located in the northeastern part of the state. The sedimentary sequence that covers unconformably the Paelozoic basement is represented by an Upper Triassic marine sedimentary sequence, correlating to the Zacatecas Formation and the Upper Triassic continental Huizachal Formation red beds, which in turn are covered either by La Joja Formation Jurassic red beds or by Upper Jurassic marine sediments. This sequence is overlain by the conformable Cretaceous calcareous marine sedimentary rocks in all the state of San Luis Potosi. The Cenozoic sequence unconformably covers some of the aforementioned rocks and is represented by undifferentiated volcanic rocks as well as by marine clastic rocks. The existing intrusive igneous rocks are felsic to intermediate composition, and they intrude the metamorphic basement and sedimentary rocks. Conglomerates with evaporitic sediments were deposited during the Pleistocene. The Quaternary sequence includes basalt flows, piedmont deposits, alluvium, and occasionally evaporites and caliche layers. In the state of San Luis Potosi, a great diversity of mineral deposit types is known as both metallic and nonmetallic. The host rocks of these deposits vary from one another including formations that represent from Paleozoic up to Tertiary. The mineralization age corresponds approximately to Tertiary (75%), and is mainly epigenetic. Conclusively, the data on geology and mineralization in San Luis Potosi, Mexico are helpful to predict a hidden ore body and select promising mineralized zone(s) when the domestic company makes inroads in the mining sector of Mexico.
