Comments on the reserve resource information

  • EL MINERAL SOLO SE EXTRAERIA DEL BLOCK 1(ZONA TAJEADA).CONSIDERANDO UNA POTENCIA PROMEDIO DE 0.27 M,Y UN AREA DE 770 M2 UN PESO ESPECIFICO DE 3. EL RATIO DE ESCOGIDO ES DE 6 A 1 O SEA QUE EN 600 TM HAY 100 TM DE MINERAL PALLAQUEADO.ESTAS RESERVAS SON DEL UNICO CLAVO MINERALIZADO.SI CONSIDERAMOS UNA RE3CUPERACION DE 60% (CIRCADO Y PALLAQUEADO CON 1.2% DE RECUPERACION) SE TENDRIA QUE SE REQUIERE 6 TC DE MINERAL PARA SACAR 1 TC CON 12% DE CU
