There are large copper deposits in that area. The ancient groups made their ceremonial knives and parts of their masks from copper.
My thought is also that when the meteor hit 65 million years ago a large amount of copper ore and minerals would have been blasted out and traveled into large areas of North and South America.
This doesn’t count the other copper ore deposits that were not touched by the massive blast.
This is how the Iridium layers from the meteor itself was spread in layers of sediment throughout the world.
