Abstract
Summary presented in Argentina on the Salares Norte Belt: small Middle to Late Miocene volcano-tectonic basins controlled sedimentation, at least four cycles of phreatomagmatic volcanism and the formation of high-sulfidation epithermal systems.
It summarises the framework of the belt described in the 2024 article and highlights the role of strike-slip tectonic regimes, in which NE shortening was accommodated by NW sinistral-normal faults and NE tensional structures that, together with the permeability of the phreatomagmatic rocks, favoured fluid circulation.
