Comments on the geologic information

  • EN LA ZONA OCURREN ROCAS VOLCANICAS E INTRUSIVAS. LAS ROCAS VOLCANICAS CONSISTEN EN DERRAMES ANDESITICOS DE COLOR GRIS VERDOSO A VIOLACEO QUE DESCANSAN SOBRE UN INTRUSIVO TIPO GRANODIORITICO. LA ALTERACION DE LAS ROCAS VOLCANICAS POR ACCION HIDROTERMAL CONSISTEN EN PROPILITIZACION, SEGUIDO DE CAOLINIZACION Y ARGILITIZACION. LA EXPRESION SUPERFICIAL DEL YACIMIENTO SE MANIFIESTA EN UNA POTENTE AREA DE CIZALLAMIENTO QUE CORTA, EN LIMITADA EXTENSION, CAPAS TENDIDAS DE ANDESITA.

Comments on the workings information

  • LOS TRABAJOS ESTAN ORIENTADOS A DESARROLLAR LOS DOS SISTEMAS DE ESTRUCTURAS. LAS VETAS SE TRABAJAN EN UNA UNIDAD DE EXPLOTACION, APLICANDOSE EL METODO DE CORTE Y RELLENO; LOS MINERALES LUEGO DEL DERRIBO SON EXTRAIDOS POR GRAVEDAD ATRAVES DE CHIMENEAS Y TRANSPORTADOS A SUPERFICIE POR LOCOMOTORAS ELECTRICAS.
