Comments on development

  • ECON.COM: AL OCUPARNOS DE LAS POSIBILIDADES ECONOMICAS DE LA MINA "KIOWA", DEBEMOS EN PRIMER LUGAR HACER HINCAPIE, DE QUE LA MINERALIZACION ESTA CONSTITUIDA POR GALENA ARGENTIFERA, CHALCOPIRITA Y VALORES EN ORO POSIBLEMENTE CONTENIDO EN LA ARSENOPIRITA. TODAS ESTAS ESPECIES MINERALES SE PRESENTAN FORMANDO UN AGREGADO QUE ES SOMETIDO A CHANCADO Y SEPARACION A MANO DE LA GALENA, Y CONCENTRACION POSTERIOR DE LOS OTROS SULFUROS POR MEDIO DE "MARITATAS"

Deposit SE PUEDE CONCLUIR QUE EL BENEFICIO ACTUAL DE LA PRODUCCION DE "KIOWA" Y LA DE LOS LOTES DE PLOMO Y DE COBRE, DEPENDE UNICAMENTE DE QUE NO CAMBIE LA TEXTURA DE LA MINERALIZACION, FACTOR QUE NO SE PUEDE PREVEER ; INFO.SRC : 2 UNPUB REPT
