The Toquepala porphyry copper deposit in south Peru is associated with a relatively large breccia pipe formed by repeated episodes of brecciation both before and after emplacement of small dacite porphyry dikes and stocks in Cretaceous? and Tertiary volcanic rocks and diorite of the Andean batholith. Supergene enrichment of the chalcopyrite ore within and around the pipe has given rise to a flat-lying zone of chalcocite which forms a major part of the ore body.
