Comments on development

  • LA MINA HA SIDO RECONOCIDA Y EXPLORADA MEDIANTE 4 NIVELES DE LOS QUE SOLO ESTA ACCESIBLE EL NIVEL INFERIOR. ESTE NIVEL TIENE UN DESARROLLO DE 90 M. ; ECON.COM: DEBIDO A LO ERRATICO DE LA MINERALIZACION Y A LAS LEYES SUB-COMERCIALES DEMOSTRADAS POR EL MUESTREO EFECTUADO, LAS POSIBILIDADES ECONOMICAS ACTUALES DEL YACIMIENTO SON DESFAVORABLES.

Subject category Comment text
Deposit ASOCIADAS A ROCAS ANDESITICAS, EXISTEN DOS FRACTURAS PARALELAS DE RUMBO E-W, CON BUZAMIENTO DE 80 AL N, POTENCIA VARIABLE ENTRE 0.30 M Y 1.30 M. EL RELLENO DE LAS FRACTURAS LO CONSTITUYEN PRINCIPALMENTE CUARZO Y EVENTUALMENTE MARMATITA Y GALENA. EL MUESTREO SISTEMATICO DE LAS LABORES SUBTERRANEAS ARROJA RESULTADOS QUE EVIDENCIAN MINERAL SUB-COMERCIAL.
