This study presents isotopic evidence of microbial-driven secondary copper mineralization in the Las Cruces deposit, revealing that microbial activity significantly influences copper isotope fractionation. The findings indicate that extremophilic microbes preferentially sequester lighter copper isotopes, leading to the formation of high-grade copper zones in the cementation area. The research supports the hypothesis that microbial processes play a crucial role in the supergene alteration of primary sulfides
