Comments on the geologic information

  • EN LA PARTE NORTE HAY UNA ZONA HIDROTERMALMENTE ALTERADA. DEBIDO A ESTA ALTERACION ES DIFICIL DE APRECIAR SI SE TRATA DE UN PLUTON HIPABISAL O VOLCANICO. EN LA VECINDAD DE ESTA ZONA HAY ROCAS INTRUSIVAS COMO TAMBIEN VOLCANICAS.

Comments on the workings information

  • ACTUALMENTE ESTA PARALIZADA, SIENDO LA CANCHA DE MINA PRACTICAMENTE DESMONTE.

Comments on development

  • EN LA PARTE NORTE DE SANTIAGO DE AIJA NO HAY CATEOS, SIN EMBARGO ES DE INTERES PROSPECTIVO ESPECIAL YA QUE LA ALTERACION HIDROTERMAL ES MUCHO MAS INTENSA Y LAS VETAS SON MUCHO MAS NUMEROSAS QUE EN LAS MINAS VECINAS. ; ECON.COM: EL CONFINAMIENTO DE LA VETA A UNA PEQUENA AREA MINERALIZADA DEMUESTRA QUE EL PROSPECTO CARECE DE IMPORTANCIA ECONOMICA.
