Subject category Comment text
Deposit SE TRATA DE UN YACIMIENTO FILONIANO, FORMADO POR RELLENO DE FRACTURAS ORIGINADAS ANTES DE PRODUCIRSE LAS INYECCIONES MINERALIZANTES. LAS FRACTURAS SE HAN EMPLAZADO EN CUARCITAS Y PIZARRAS MOSTRANDOSE CLARAS Y BIEN DEFINIDAS. ESTA FRACTURACION ANTERIOR A LA MINERALIZACION PARECE SER EL RESULTADO DE LA INTRUSION DE ROCA IGNEA, PUES A PESAR DE NO HABER LOCALIZADO ROCAS DE ESTE TIPO, LA PROXIMIDAD A LA CORDILLERA BLANCA HACEN SUPONER LA INFLUENCIA DEL INTRUSIVO EN LA MINERALIZACION DE LA REGION.
