 INTRODUCCTION

Vetiform sites have tabular symmetry. The origin of the tabular structure may be a
hydrothermal veta, a magmatic dam or a zone of mineralized failure.
Dams are structures of magmatic formation (magmatic crystallization) with a width
between 1 m and 200 m. Dikes often show a salbanda in the boundaries of box
rock.
DEFINICION:
A veta is a tabular body, or sheet-shaped, composed of minerals that have been
introduced into the rocks by a diaclasa or fissure, or by systems of diaclases and
fissures.Most of the veins are directly and indirectly of igneous origin, although in
certain circumstances the fissures can become filled as a result of sedimentary
processes
Vetas are structures of post-magmatic formation, in the majority hydrothermal. The
minerals are crystallized from an aquatic phase according to temperature and
pressure

HIGH AND LOW SULPHURACION VETA

Those of "low sulfide" are Reduced pH and have a pH close to neutral (the
concentration measurement of Hydrogen ions) and "high sulfide" fluids, which are
more Oxidized and acidic. The terms of high and low sulphidation were Introduced
by Hedenquist (1987) and refer to the oxidation state of the sulfur. In the high
sulphide sulfur is presented as S4 + in the form of SO2 (oxidized) and in those of
low sulphidation as S-2 as H2S (reduced).
Hydrothermal processes
Name given to any of the processes associated with igneous activity involving hot
or overheated water. (Cf. pneumatology). Water, at high temperatures, is a very
active substance, capable of disintegrating silicates and dissolving many
substances that are normally considered insoluble. The two main types of
hydrothermal activity can be considered to be:

A) Alteration processes.- They include the serpentination of olivine and

rhombic pyroxenes, the chloritization of ferromagnesian minerals (chlorite
group), saussuritization, uralitization and propilitization.

B) B) Deposition. It is often assumed that many breeding sites are deposits of

hydrothermal solutions; P. Cu, Pb, and Zn. These deposits can fill cracks
(vein, deposit) or can replace pre-existing rocks. It has been objected that
sulphides of some metals, such as Cu, Pb and Zn, are so insoluble in water
that their transport in solution is unlikely.
