Abstract
Recent progressive changes that have occurred in the area of Termas de Copahue are described. One of the most conspicuous is the emergence of a new area of geothermal activity on the southern slope of Termas de Copahue, and the other is the presence of minerals of the group of sulphate-carbonate burkeite and hanksite, besides tinkalconite, which is a new mention for this geothermal field.
