MODELO GEOLÓGICO DESCRIPTIVO PARA LOS YACIMIENTOS LATERÍTICOS DE Fe-Ni-Co EN LA FAJA OFIOLÍTICA MAYARÍ-BARACOA DE CUBA ORIENTAL.

Mineral deposit descriptive models are valuable geological information network usefull to explore and assessment the territories with these atributes in their geologic pattern and makes them perspectives for the discovery of new mineral resources. In this paper a generalized approach is given about weathering as main process in the formation of laterites as well as three proposal of Fe-Ni-Co laterite descriptive models developed on Mayarí-Baracoa Ophiolitic Belt located in Eastern Cuba.
