Deposit LAS POSIBILIDADES INMEDIATAS DEL MINERAL PROSPECTIVO NO CUBREN LA INVERSION REQUERIDA PARA SU RECONOCIMIENTO. SIN EMBERGO LAS LABORES EN PROFUNDIDAD SENALADAS EN EL PROYECTO DE INVERSIONES, QUE IMPLICAN ELEVADO RIESGO, SE OBTENDRAN MAYORES ELEMENTOS DE JUICIO QUE PERMITIRIAN TENER UNA IDEA MAS CLARA DEL YACIMIENTO.
