          Abstract

          El proyecto La Josefina se localiza en la porción central del macizo del Deseado donde el volcanismo Jurásico es el evento geológico mejor representado y está vinculado con manifestaciones epitermales de metales preciosos. Las mineralizaciones se emplazaron principalmente en fallas de orientación predominantemente NO y comportamiento dextrógiro. Principalmente, las curvaturas de estas fallas permitieron la formación de clavos mineralizados. A partir de estos datos y de la información pre-existente, se interpreta que la tectónica extensional en el Jurásico tardío dio lugar, en el proyecto La Josefina, a una deformación frágil, cuyo campo de esfuerzos tendría un esfuerzo máximo compresivo (s1) de rumbo aproximadamente N340° a N-S y una dirección de extensión (σ3) cercana a N070° a N080°. Este campo de esfuerzos, coincide con cizallas regionales de orientación NNE (~ N030°) de comportamiento sinestral.

          The La Josefina Prospect is located in the central part of the Deseado Massif, where Jurassic volcanic rocks are the most representative units and are related with precious metal epithermal mineralization. Mineralization has taken place mainly in northwesttrending dextral faults which give place to a vein system with ore shoots related to dilatational bends. Based on the present study and the previous information, it is interpreted that in La Josefina Prospect the extensional tectonics generated brittle deformation during the late Jurassic. The maximum compressive stress (s1) has a direction approximately N 340° to N-S and the extensional direction (σ3) is orientated N070-080°. This stress field is in agreement with regional northeast (~ N030°) left-lateral strike-slip faults.
