Deposit EL DEPOSITO MINERAL ESTA CONSTITUIDO POR CUATRO MANTOS EMPLAZADOS EN LOS PLANOS DE ESTRATIFICACION DE LAS CALIZAS EN LAS QUE HAY LUTITAS VERDES INTERESTRATIFICADAS. LAS POTENCIAS DE LOS MANTOS FLUCTUAN ENTRE 0.10 M. Y 0.50 M.
Deposit LAS LABORES SE EFECTUAN A PULSO Y EL METODO DE EXPLOTACION SE SIGUE EN LAS PARTES DE MAYOR CONCENTRACION, EN LAS QUE NO SE EMPLEAN SOSTENIMIENTO QUE POR EL BUZAMIENTO DE LOS MANTOS PRODUCEN DERRUMBES. ; INFO.SRC : 2 UNPUB REPT
