Deposit EL YACIMIENTO MINERAL SE HA FORMADO DENTRO DE UN CUERPO DE BRECHAS. LA PARTE SUPERIOR DE ESTE CUERPO DE BRECHAS HA SIDO EROSIONADO Y NO PERSISTE EN PROFUNDIDAD. EN SENTIDO VERTICAL LA MINERALIZACION PROFUNDIZA HASTA 33 M. EN PROFUNDIDAD LA MENA SE EMPOBRECE Y LA ZONA DE BRECHA PASA A UNA ANDESITA ALTERADA Y ESTERIL; ESTA MINERALIZACION ESTA LIMITADA HACIA EL ESTE POR UNA FALLA; EL ANCHO PROMEDIO DE MENA ES DE 8 M
