The Sidobre pluton was synkinematically emplaced on a dextral shear zo
ne trending N 60-degrees. Hydrothermal fluids associated with the plut
on were drained in zones of tectonic openings, due to the presence of
heterogeneities, at all scales. The pluton, the aplitic dykes and the
quartz lenses are heterogeneities created by the shearing deformation
and were used by it to develop openings in which sulphides crystallize
