Deposit EL YACIMIENTO ESTA CONSTITUIDO POR UNA VETA DE RUMBO N 80E Y BUZ. 35-45N. ESTA VETA SE EMPLAZA EN UNA FALLA CARACTERIZADA POR LA ABUNDANCIA DE PANIZO; SU POTENCIA ES DE 56 CM PERO VARIA ENTRE 5 Y 300 CM. LA VETA ES CONTINUA E IRREGULAR; TAMBIEN SE OBSERVAN UNA SERIE DE VETILLAS IRREGULARES Y ARQUEADAS, LENTICULARES Y ESCALONADAS CONSTITUYENDO RAMALES DE LA VETA PRINCIPAL
Deposit LA MINA ES MUY HUMEDA Y SUS LABORES REQUIEREN BOMBEO CONSTANTE PARA MANTENERLAS TRANSITABLES ; INFO.SRC : 2 UNPUB REPT
