Deposit ESTE YACIMIENTO SE UBICA DENTRO DE UNA ZONA MINERA DE SICUANI CON SIMILARES CARACTERISTICAS GEOECONOMICAS, CON LEYES DE AG-CU INTEREZANTES,PERO CON DIFICULTAD PARA TENER UNA BUENA RECUPERACION POR EL METODO DE ESCOGIDO A MANO (POR ESTAR DESIMINADOS).ES NECESARIO LA INSTALACION DE UNA PLANTA CONCENTRADORA EN LA ZONA.
