Comments on the location information

  • LA MINA CAPELLA NO. 1 SE UBICA EN LA QUEBRADA CANCHAGALLA DEL DISTRITO DE COAYLLO. EL ACCESO SE EFECTUA SEGUN EL SIGUIENTE RECORRIDO: LIMA - VALLE DE ASIA 98 KMS DE CARRETERA, VALLE ASIA - LA YESERA 28 KMS DE CARRETERA. DESDE LA YESERA PARTE UNA TROCHA QUE SIGUE EL CURSO DE LA QUEBRADA DE CANCHAGALLA, DANDO ACCESO A VARIAS MINAS DE LA ZONA. FALTANDO REHABILITAR 4 TRAMOS QUE TOTALIZAN UNOS 800 M PARA LLEGAR A LA MINA "CAPELLA NO. 1 (5 KMS DE RECORRIDO).

Comments on the geologic information

  • EN ESTA AREA AFLORAN META-ANDESITAS E INTERCALACIONES DE LUTITAS PIZARROSAS CON CUARCITAS Y CALIZAS. ESTAS ROCAS LAS CORRELACIONAMOS TENTATIVAMENTE A LAS FORMACIONES PUENTE PIEDRA, MARCAVILCA Y PAMPLONA DEL AREA DE LIMA. AL ESTE Y OESTE DEL AREA, ESTAS ROCAS ESTAN INTRUIDAS POR PLUTONES DIORITICOS Y GRANODIORITICOS QUE FORMAN PARTE DEL DENOMINADO BATOLITO ANDINO.

General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit LA MINERALIZACION CONSISTE DE OXIDOS DE COBRE (MALAQUITA, CRISOCOLA) Y SULFUROS SECUNDARIOS (CHALCOSITA) QUE SE ALOJAN EN LAS FRACTURAS, CONSTITUYENDO CUERPOS DE FORMA LENTICULAR CON ELEVADO CONTENIDO DE COBRE.
Deposit EXPLOTAR LAS 5 TM ESTIMADAS DE SULFUROS SECUNDARIOS DE EXPORTACION. EL ELEVADO CONTENIDO DE CALCITA PODRIA IMPOSIBILITAR POR ANTI-ECONOMICO EL BENEFICIO DE LAS CANCHAS. DE LOS MINERALES QUE SE EXTRAIGAN SE PODRAN OBTENER MINERALES DE EXPORTACION MEDIANTE OPERACIONES DE ESCOGIDO.
