Las Minillas is an area within the Variscan basement of NE Badajoz, dominated by metamorphic rocks and granitoids (including the Garlitos Granodiorite). Pb mineralization is linked to fractures and small hydrothermal veins, later overprinted by a well-developed supergene oxidation zone, where secondary phosphates such as Plumbogummite may form.
