Comments on the commodity information

  • LA MINERALIZACION SE PRESENTA EN FORMA DE BANDAS, OJOS Y VENILLAS. EN UN RELLENO DE FISURASCON CARACTERISTICAS LENTICULARES, Y CLAVOS MINERALIZADOS. LAS CAJAS SON DURAS, ALGO SILIFICADAS EN ALGUNAS ZONAS. LOAS ZONAS MINERALIZADAS ESTAN CORTADAS POR PROFUNDAS QUEBRADAS.SE PRESENTA UNA PATINA DE COLORACION ROJIZA, DEBIDO A LA ALTERACION DE LA HEMATITA Y MAGNETITA.
