Calderón-Calderoncito is located on the western margin of the Cordillera Principal geologic province, in the department of Calingasta, San Juan province, approximately 310 km from the city of San Juan. The property is part of the north-south belt of porphyry copper mineralization that includes Pachón-Los Pelambres, Altar-Piuquenes and Los Azules.
The area was explored by Argentina Minera S. A. (2006-2017) and, since 2018, by the company Argentina Fortescue S. A. U. Detailed geologic mapping, geophysical studies, and surface geochemistry have been carried out in the area.
The project covers skarn-type mineralization in a northwest-southeast elongated belt at the contact between calcareous rock sequences and granitic units. The Cu-Au-Fe mineralization is located within the contact aureole and consists of quartz vein and veinlet structures.
