Controls for ore emplacement

  • Estructural: Se Presenta En Dos Vetas Paralelas (Vetas No. 1 Y No. 2).

Comments on the geologic information

  • LAS ROCAS REGIONALES ESTAN CONSTITUIDAS POR EL VOLCANICO TERCIARIO EN EL CUAL PREDOMINAN LAS ANDESITAS. LA PRESENCIA DE BARITINA EN LOS AFLORAMIENTOS Y SU DISMINUCION EN PROFUNDIDAD CON AUMENTO DE BORNITA, ESFALERITA ,ASERILLO Y ENARGITA, COMO SE OBSERVA EN EL NIVEL 4800 INDICA EL ORIGEN EPITERMAL DEL YACIMIENTO Y LA EXISTENCIA DE POSIBILIDADES DE MINERALIZACION DE ESTOS MINERALES COMERCIALES.
