AlterationIn The Central Vein Where Limestone Was Most Completely Replaced By Hypogene Sulfides, And Gangue Minerals, Downward Migration Of Copper Continued As Long As Pyrite Remained In Vein. When All Pyrite Had Been Either Oxidized Or Replaced, Further Oxidation A Lterro The Chalcocite To Copper Carbinates And Oxides In The Oxidation Zone.
