The Module 1A Group in the Maricunga Belt with Enrique Viteri (left) who presented the expert workshop on the belt, that included a visit to the Marte porphyry gold deposit, as detailed on the previous page.   This provided a contrast to the high sulphidation La Coipa we saw on the previous day and the low sulphidation El Penon we were to see next day.
