Deposit EN EL AREA ESTUDIADA SE HA ENCONTRADO DIORITA LA CUAL SE PRESENTA SUPERFICIALMENTE BASTANTE ALTERADA, EN RELACION A LA ESTRUCTURA MINERALIZADA EXISTEN DOS FALLAS LONGITUDINALES QUE CORREN A UNO Y OTRO LADO DE LA VETA DELIMITANDO AL MINERALIZACION EN ALGUNOS TRAMOS. ASI MISMO A 3 M DEL FRENTE DE LA GALERIA SE OBSERVA UNA FALLA DE RUMBO N 55 W QUE PARECE HABER DESPLAZADO LA VETA "A" HACIA EL ESTE
