New U-Pb and Re-Os geochronology of Laramide porphyry copper mineralization along the Cananea lineament, northeastern Sonora, Mexico: Contribution to the understanding of the Cananea copper district
Re–Os and U–Pb ages constrain the metallogenetic history of the Cananea district. Geochronological data indicate a NW to SE progression of mineralization. Tertiary extension rearranged ore systems which opens opportunity for exploration. Tertiary extension yielded conditions to develop exotic copper mineralization.
