The ore zone is strongly recrystallised and massive, comprising phlogopite-chlorite-tremolite-talc schist,
amphibolite with lenticular quartzo-feldspathic layering and quartz-muscovite-biotite-sillimanite schist.
These rock units from north to south include the mafic-ultramafic Jijal complex, the Kamila
amphibolite, the gabbronorite-dominated Chilas complex, the predominantly granitic Kohistan batholith, Chalt and associated volcanics and Yasin group metasediments (Fig.
The Luusika Bouguer anomaly source is placed within the Alutaguse domain, which is characterized by
amphibolite facies rocks that pass towards granulite facies rocks (Bogdanova et al.
Three main geological units lie in the area of El Vapor district, (Fig 1): (i) San Lucas quartz-feldspathic gneisses (Gonzalez, 2001), which contains lenses of
amphibolite and marble and are Proterozoic (Feininger et al., 1972); (ii) Segovia batholith of Jurassic age (160 [+ or -] 7 M.a., K/Ar in hornblende, Feininger et al., 1972), consists of a diorite with textural and compositional variations of quartz diorite and locally hornblende gabbro; and finally, (iii) Segovia sedimentary rocks in the west of Segovia mainly composed of black shales interbedded with siltstones, sandstones and intraformational conglomerates, which in the north of the area have been dated between the upper Aptian and the lower Albian (Feininger et al., 1972) based on macro-fauna dating.

However, the remaining rocks in the formation in that area could not be readily assigned to any of the other members of White and Boehner (2008) and hence two additional members were identified: member ps, mainly pelitic schist interbedded with subordinate metacarbonate rocks,
amphibolite, and quartzite and member qf, quartzofeldspathic schist with quartzite, metaconglomerate, and minor
amphibolite (Fig.
