billions of pounds of copper millions of ounces of gold and silver and 100s of million pounds of moly
santo tomas is a big deal
here is a head start on your DD
The Laramide orogeny in southern U.S. and Northern Mexico is represented by a period of intense subduction related magmatism and volcanism, significant copper molybdenum-lead-zinc-silver-gold metallogenesis, and late-stage northeast-directed compressional tectonics
The sustained magmatic activity along the North American Cordillera during late Mesozoic and Paleogene times produced the emplacement of numerous porphyry copper deposits. This activity extended by most of western Mxico, particularly along the northwestern part of the country. This region, along with Arizona and New Mexico in the United States, contains one of the most important centers of copper mineralization on Earth. Most of the Mexican deposits lie in the eastern part of the Laramide magmatic belt (90-40 Ma) and were formed predominantly between 75 and 50 Ma. The largest deposits occur in northeastern Sonora and are represented by Cananea (∼30 Mt Cu) and La Caridad (∼8 Mt Cu). The copper ores are locally accompanied by molybdenum, tungsten, gold, and other metals. However, the metal distribution is apparently coupled with major changes in the basement of emplacement
