| Deposit | ESTA PEGMATITA TIENE DOS RAJOS: RAJO NORTE (70 M) Y SUR (90 M). EXISTEN CURPOS MENORES DE MAYOR LONGITUD Y MENOR ESPESOR. NO SE HA COMPROBADO LA EXISTENCIA DE MINERAL. |
| Deposit | LAS EVALUACIONES INDIVIDUALES DE LAS PEGMATITAS, LOS MUESTRAN COMO YACIMIENTOS MARGINALES, DE BAJA RECUPERACION (10/15%) DE ESPODUMENO Y VOLUMEN REDUCIDO DE RESERVAS. PARA LA EVALUACION COMO DISTRITO SE TOMARON 5 CUERPOS DE LOS CUALES EL MAS IMPORTANTE ES SANTA GERTRUDIS. SE PROPONEN DOS ALTERNATIVAS 1) LABOREO SUPERFICIAL Y SELECCION MANUAL, RESULTADO NEGATIVO; 2) INSTALACION DE UNA PLANTA , AUMENTO DE TONELAJE Y MEJORA DE LA RECUPERACION, RESULTADO NEGATIVO. ; INFO.SRC : 2 UNPUB REPT |
