Deposit LA ZONA ESTA FUERTEMENTE FRACTURADA Y HAY ZONAS DE ALTERACION A MANERA DE PEQUENAS BOLSILLOS (30 A 50 CM.) DE FORMA IRREGULAR, RELLENADOS POR ARGILITAS FERRUGINOSAS. ES ESTE EL MATERIAL DE ALTERACION QUE PARECE CONTENER LA MINERALIZACION DE ORO. LA UBICACION DE LAS CAVIDADES O BOLSILLOS ES MUY IRREGULAR.
Deposit NO HAY SUFICIENTE INFORMACION DE LAS CARACTERISTICAS GEOLOGICAS DEL YACIMIENTO, PARA DETERMINAR LAS POSIBILIDADES DE LA ZONA DE ESTUDIO. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
