Economic information about the deposit and operations

Development status Occurrence
Commodity type Both
Deposit size Small
Significant No
Discovery year 1936

Mining district

District name Mala Noche District / Guadalupe Y Calvo Area

Comments on the workings information

  • EXPLORATION PROSPECTS NEVER MINED

Comments on development

  • FIRST ANNOUNCED FOR MO, IN 1937 ANNOUNCED FOR AU, AG BUT NOT SUBSTANTIATED. IN 1941 PROSPECTING STOPPED IN 1949 THE PROPERTY WAS ANNOUNCED AGAIN BUT IN 1951 STOPPED EXPLORATION ; ECON.COM: SELECTIVE MINING MAKES THIS DEPOSIT TOO SMALL AND EXPENSIVE FOR MINING
