Comments on the workings information

  • CON EL OBJETO APARENTE DE EXPLORAR Y EXPLOTAR LA VETA, SE HICIERON EN LA PARTE MAS ALTA DEL AFLORAMIENTO, 3 CORTADAS DE 15, 20 Y 50 M DE LONGITUD. ESTO PERMITIO SU EXPLOTACION HASTA SUPERFICIE EN UNA LONGITUD DE 90 M Y UN ENCAMPE DE 4-6 M. LAS LABORES SUBTERRANEAS EXISTENTES ESTAN DERRUMBADAS Y/O INUNDADAS.

Deposit EL YACIMIENTO ESTA CONSTITUIDO POR UNA FRACTURA PRINCIPAL QUE HA SIDO RELLENADA POR SOLUCIONES MINERALIZANTES DE CARACTER HIDROTERMAL
Deposit LAS POSIBILIDADES DEL YACIMIENTO SON FAVORABLES POR SUS CARACTERISTICAS GEOLOGICAS-ESTRUCTURALES INTERESANTES. LA UNICA MUESTRA SUBTERRANEA QUE FUE POSIBLE OBTENER Y LA EXPLOTACION LLEVADA A CABO ANTIGUAMENTE INDICAN QUE SE PUEDEN ENCONTRAR VALORES INTERESANTES EN PROFUNDIDAD. ; INFO.SRC : 2 UNPUB REPT
