Deposit LA PROPIEDAD MINERA ESTA FORMADA POR EL DENUNCIO "ALBERTO I" QUE CUBRE LAS ZONAS DENOMINADAS GREGORIO Y ALBERTO Y POR EL DENUNCIO "GRAN CASUALIDAD" QUE CUBRE LA ZONA CONOCIDA COMO "LA LUNA". ESTOS DOS DENUNCIOS SON COLINDANTES. EN PROFUNDIDAD SE HA ESTABLECIDO QUE SOLO SE ENCUENTRA MINERALIZACION ECONOMICA EN LOS SIGUENTES PUNTOS:ZONA "GREGORIA" "VETA 2", "ZONA ALBERTO", "VETA ALBERTO", ZONA "LA LUNA" "VETA 2 Y 3".HUBO DIFICULTADES PARA PROSEGUIR EL PIQUE Y SUBNIVELES EN LA VETA 2 (ZONA GREGORIA) , LA VETA 4 SE HA ENCONTRADO ESTERIL SE LE DA MAYOR PRIORIDAD A LAS EXPLORACIONES DE "ALBERTO" Y "LA LUNA".
Deposit LA MINERALIZACION EN LOS 3 CLAVOS; GREGORIA VETA2, ALBERTO, LA LUNA SON SIMILARES CON OXIDOS DE COBRE DE ALTA LEY , LAS CAJAS SON GRANITOS CLAROS ALGO DESCOMPUESTOS INTRUIDAS POR DIQUES VOLCANICOS ROSADOS COMO GUIAS DEL MINERAL.
