In the central segment of the Cordillera Real of Bolivia. Rocks exposed in the area mostly consist of strata of marine origin with depositional ages ranging from the Late Ordovician to the Early Devonian and granitic stocks emplaced during the Triassic extension and rifting. Three types of hydrothermal features occur in the Chacaltaya district: greisens, tourmaline-cemented breccias, and veins.
