Comments on the production information

  • LA PRODUCCION SE HA HECHO TANTO DE CANCHA COMO DE VETA

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • POR LOS CATEOS DERRUMBADOS QUE SE OBSERVAN EN OTRAS FISURAS DE LA ZONA, EL POCO VOLUMEN DE MATERIALES EN CANCHA Y LA AUSENCIA DE MENA EN LAS ESTRUCTURAS QUE HAN QUEDADO A LA VISTA, NO SE PUEDE ESTIMAR RESERVAS MINERALES DE LA CATEGORIA PROBADO-PROBABLE.

Workings at the site

  • Type of workings Underground
    Length 19M
    Overall length 27.43M

Comments on the workings information

  • EL TRABAJO DE EXPLOTACION SE HA HECHO TOMANDO EN CUENTA DOS FISURAS EN LA CUAL SE ENCUENTRAN LAS DOS ESTRUCTURAS MINERALIZADAS. DEL PRODUCTO DEL LABOREO, SE HA OBTENIDO 1,500 KILOS DE MINERAL DE EXPORTACION. ACTUALMENTE LA EXPLOTACION ES REALIZADA "ZIRCANDO" LA ESTRUCTURA, QUE LUEGO ES RECUPERADA "DESCOSTRANDO" LA MINERALIZACION DE LA FISURA, OBTENIENDO MINERALES DE ALTA LEY.

Comments on development

  • LAS EXPLORACIONES HAN TENIDO RESULTADOS NEGATIVOS
