Tract name	Deposit type	Geology
Chile Cretaceous Antucoya	porphyry copper	Cretaceous calc-alkalic plutons, including batholiths.
Chile-Peru Paleocene-Eocene Toquepala	porphyry copper	Paleocene and Eocene mostly calc-alkaline plutons. Includes the Toquepala volcanics and coeval porphyry plutons (Peru), and rhyolite domes, dacite pyroclastics, and associated calderas (Chile).
Chile Permian El Loa	porphyry copper	Permian calc-alkaline plutons. Tract is a northern continuation of tract SA16a,bPC and its location coincides largely with that of giant tract SA10a,bPC.
Chile Eocene–Oligocene Chuquicamata	porphyry copper	Eocene to Oligocene mainly calc-alkaline plutons, including epizonal plutons intruding volcanic-arc lava flows and breccias; equivalent to rocks in tracts SA09PC and SA12PC.
