Comments on the geologic information

  • LAS CARACTERISTICAS GEOLOGICAS SON LAS MISMAS QUE LA ZONA DE TINQUICORRAL, OSEA QUE LAS ROCAS PREDOMINANTES SON LAS VOLCANICAS TIPO ANDESITAS EN DONDE SE HA ORIGINADO LA MINERALIZACION. UN INTRUSIVO QUE AFLORA EN EL CERRO RANGRAPATA ES POSIBLE QUE HAYA SIDO EL CAUSANTE DE LA MINERALIZACION, NO SOLO DE ESTA AREA SINO DE TODA LA ZONA DE TINQUICORRAL.
