| Deposit | LA MINERALIZACION DENTRO DE LA PROPIEDAD MINERA SE PRESENTA CONSTITUYENDO UN SISTEMA DE VETAS QUE HAN SIDO FORMADAS POR RELLENO DE FRACTURAS PRE-EXISTENTES EN LOS VOLCANICOS.. DISTRIBUCION IRREGULAR DE LA METALIZACION CON TENDENCIA A CONSTRUIR "CLAVOS" RICOS EN PLATA. |
| Deposit | DENTRO DE LA PROPIEDAD SE HAN DESARROLLADO ALREDEDOR DE 4,000 METROS DE LABOREO UNA BUENA PARTE ACTUALMENTE INACCESIBLE, DE DONDE SE HAN EXTRAIDO UNAS 25,000 TONELADAS DE VETA TIBIA Y CANTIDAES DESCONOCIDAS DE OTRAS VETAS. ACTUALMENTE SOLO SE EXPLOTAN ESTRIBOS Y PUENTES EN VETA TIBIA, HABIENDOSE INICIADO EN ESTA VETA EL DESARROLLO DEL NIVEL "6". LA PLANTA CONCENTRADORA TIENE UNA CAPACIDAD DE 70 TM/DIA DE MINERAL, CON POSIBILIDADES DE FACIL AMPLIACION. |
