| Deposit | LA MINERALIZACION SE ENCUENTRA DISTRIBUIDA EN ESTRUCTURAS TABULARES MUY TENDIDAS (MANTOS), SE CONOCEN VARIAS DE ESTAS ESTRUCTURAS Y FALTAN EXPLORACIONES QUE PERMITAN DEFINIR SI ALGUNAS SE SUPERPONEN O SIMPLEMENTE SE SUCEDEN UNAS A OTRAS CON SALTOS DE POCOS METROS FORMANDO ESCALONES. LAS MEJORES PERSPECTIVAS COMERCIALES ESTAN EN UNA SERIE DE MANTOS QUE AFLORAN EN LA ANDESITA, MUY CORTA CERCA AL CONTACTO CON LA ROCA MAS ACIDA: DACITA O RIOLITA PORFIRITICA. LOS MANTOS PRINCIPALES AFLORAN EN ANDESITA A CORTA DISTANCIA DEL CONTACTO CON DACITA O RIOLITA. TIENE IGUALES DIRECCIONES Y BUZAMIENTOS Y LA MINERALIZACION ES MUY SEMEJANTE. |
