Epithermal ore deposits have traditionally been the most economically important in México, with renowned world-class deposits like those in the Pachuca–Real del Monte, Guanajuato, Fresnillo, Taxco, Tayoltita, and Zacatecas districts. Whereas in certain areas (like the Great Basin in Nevada) intermediate and low sulfidation deposits have been found to be mutually exclusive in time and space; in the case of epi thermal deposits in México, the intermediate and low sulfidation types do not appear to be mutually exclusive and, to the contrary, they coexist in the same regions, formed during the same time spans, and even occur together within a...
