Comments on the workings information

  • EL ACCESO PRONCIPAL ES POR EL NIVEL CERO, EN LA QUE SE HA DESARROLLADO UNA LABOR SOBRE LA VETA LLOQUE DE 600 M DE LONGITUD EN ALGUNOS TRAMOS ESTA GALERIA SE HA CORRIDO SOBRE ESTERIL DEBIDO A LAS CONDICIONES DELEZNABLES DE LA ESTRUCTURA MINERALIZADA, ACTUALMENTE ESTA LABOR ESTA SOBRE ESTERIL. LAS CHIMENEAS SON LEVANTADAS CON LA INCLINACION DE 38 POSIBLEMENTE POR SEGURIDAD O POR CRITERIOS GEOLOGICOS, YA QUE SE TRATA DE LOCALIZAR ZONAS CON CONCENTRACIONES DE CALCOSINA
