Punta del Cobre Formation (Spanish: Formación Punta del Cobre) is a geologic formation of Early Cretaceous age cropping out in the interior of Atacama Region, Chile.

[1] Rocks show intense hydrothermal alteration[1] and hosts significant copper and gold deposits and lesser amounts of zinc and silver.

[2] The formation lies in a zone of small-scale mining that supplies the nearby Fundición de Paipote copper smelter.

[3] The copper and iron ores of the Dominga prospect are in part emplaced in Punta del Cobre Formation.

[1] The contact is transitional with the first appearance of carbonate beds indicating the beginning of Abundancia Formation.
