Deposit TARECOS AREA COUNTRY ROCK IS ARGILLITE SIMILAR TO THE MATRIX OF THE CONGLOMERATIC ARGILLITE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ANTICLINE, NEAR MORRO DO CHAPEU. HOT SPRINGS. (30 DEG C) ARE IN CONTACT BETWEEN QUARTZITE AND LIMESTONE, NORTH OF THE HOT SPRINGS ABOUT ONE KM, TWO SMALL PITS HAVE BEEN DUG IN A QUARTZ VEIN IN ARGILLITE. A FEW CUBES OF GALENA (2-5 MM) CAME FROM THIS VEIN. HIGH PROBABILITY EXISTS TO CORRELATE THIS UNIT WITH THE CONGLOMERATIC UNIT TO THE EAST.
