Comments on the commodity information

  • LOS VALORES DE PLATA ESTAN LIGADOS A LOS VALORES DE PLOMO Y NO A LOS DE ZINC O ANTIMONIO. ESPECIES PROPIAMENTE DE PLATA NO SE HAN ENCONTRADO, Y POR LO TANTO SE CONSIDERA LA PLATA COMO EN SOLUCION SOLIDA CON LA GALENA.

Ore body information

  • General form TABULAR
    Strike N 80 W
    Dip 70 N

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Litologicos: Por La Roca Encajonante, Pues Los Valores Se Concentran En La Seccion De Las Vetas Cuya Roca Encajonante Es Caliza, Empobreciendo Notoriamente Cuando Las Cajas Estan Compuestas De Porfidos Andesiticos.

Comments on the geologic information

  • LA ROCA ENCAJONANTE ES EN SU MAYOR PARTE CALIZA Y EL RESTO PORFIDO ANDESITICO. SE PUEDE ESTABLECER RELACION ENTRE LA ROCA ENCAJONANTE Y LA FRACTURA: CUANDO LA VETA ESTA EN CALIZA, SE PRESENTA POTENTE, DE CAJAS POCO DEFINIDAS Y CON MINERALIZACION RICA EN ESPECIES OXIDADAS Y CARBONATADAS, MIENTRAS QUE EN EL PORFIDO ANDESITICO LA FRACTURA ES MAS ANGOSTA, DE CAJAS MAS DEFINIDAS, DE RELATIVA MENOR RIQUEZA Y MINERALES MENOS OXIDADOS.
