The Cerro Negro mine is located in the Andean precordillera of central Chile, 100 km north of Santiago and 55 km east of the Pacific coast, at an altitude of 1000 m above sea level (Fig. 1). It is one of the many stratabound manto copper deposits of central Chile which lie at several different stratigraphic levels within the Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary sequence of the Andean orogenic cycle (Ruiz et al. 1971; Sato 1984; Camus 1985).
