Subject category Comment text
Deposit THERE ARE TWO PARALLEL VEINS; THE ABOVE DIMENSIONS APPLY TO BOTH VEINS. LITTLE MINERALIZATION IS VISIBLE IN THE VEINS ON A MACROSCOPIC SCALE. OUTCROP IS COVERED BY COLLUVIUM.
Deposit BUENAVENTURA (1975) SUGGESTS THAT THE OCCURRENCE SHOULD ONLY BE CONSIDERED AS A GUIDE FOR THE PROSPECT OF GOLD IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
