Deposit LAS VETAS TIENEN RUMBO Y BUZAMIENTO MUY IRREGULAR, SE DESARROLLAN TANTO EN CALIZAS COMO EN EL INTRUSVIO. LOS MANTOS TIENEN ESTRECHA RELACION CON LA MINERALIZACION DE LAS VETAS HABIENDOSE EMPLAZADO EL MINERAL EN LOS CONTACTOS GEOLOGICOS FAVORABLES, CONSERVANDO EL BUZAMIENTO GENERAL DE LOS ESTRATOS.
