In this investigation, one sample collected from the Río Santiago alluvial placer was studied via a multi-disciplinary approach, including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe, and Raman spectroscopy. Whole-rock geochemistry data of the sample confirms elevated Au and platinum-group elements contents and the chondrite-normalized pattern reveals pronounced positive Ir and Pt anomalies. Free grains of platinum-group minerals were separated via hydroseparation techniques and identified as: i) Pt-Fe alloy (Pt3Fe), ii) tulameenite (Pt2FeCu) and iii) hongshiite (PtCu). The most abundant platinum-group mineral is Pt-Fe alloy (85%) that occasionally hosts cuprorhodsite (CuRh2S4) inclusions. Although the primary source remains unknown, the geochemical and mineralogical data suggests that the source of platinum-group minerals in the Río Santiago alluvial placer is a mafic-ultramafic Ural-Alaska type complex. Possible primary sources are the mafic and ultramafic rocks found in the mafic basement of the coastal region and the Western Cordillera (Piñón, San Juan and Pallatanga units), which derive from the Late Cretaceous Caribbean Colombia Oceanic Plateau (CCOP).]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Los estudios mineralógicos sobre minerales del grupo del platino procedentes de depósitos del tipo placer de Río Santiago (Ecuador) son escasos. Este trabajo presenta un estudio mineralógico detallado de una muestra recogida en el placer aluvial de Río Santiago. Las técnicas usadas incluyen microscopía óptica, microscopía electrónica de barrido, análisis de microsonda electrónica y espectroscopía Raman. La geoquímica de roca total de la muestra estudiada confirma unos valores elevados en oro y en elementos del grupo del platino, y los patrones normalizados a condrito muestran anomalías positivas pronunciadas de Ir y Pt. Se separaron granos de minerales del grupo del platino mediante técnicas de hidroseparación y estos se han identificado como: i) aleación Pt-Fe (Pt3Fe), ii) tulameenita (Pt2FeCu) y iii) hongshiita (PtCu). La fase más abundante es la aleación Pt-Fe (85%), con inclusiones micrométricas de cuprorhodsita (CuRh2S4) en algunos granos. Aunque la fuente primaria aún se desconoce, los datos geoquímicos y mineralógicos sugieren que los minerales del grupo del platino en el placer aluvial de Río Santiago derivan del desmantelamiento erosivo de un complejo máfico-ultramáfico de tipo Ural-Alaska. Las fuentes primarias podrían estar relacionadas con las rocas máficas-ultramáficas descritas en las unidades del basamento máfico de la Cordillera Occidental y la Costa de Ecuador (Piñón, San Juan y Pallatanga). Estas unidades han sido interpretadas como fragmentos del plateau oceánico del Caribe y Colombia (CCOP) de edad cretácico superior.]]></p></abstract>
