Comments on the reserve resource information

  • ESTA MINA TIENE BUENAS POSIBILIDADES POR SUS CARACTERISTICAS GEOLOGICAS Y BUEN CONTENIDO DE COBRE
  • LA POTENCIA PROMEDIO ES DE 0.8M. LAS RESERVAS CON UN RATIO DE CONCENTRACION DE 3.8 DARIAN 6,579 T.M. DE MINERAL ESCOGIDO CON 12% CU Y 2.0 OZ/TC.

Comments on the workings information

  • LA ZONA SUR ES LA MAS TRABAJADA (6 NIVELES CON 800 MTS LINEALES DE LABOREO). LOS NIVELES 1,2,3 Y 4 SON LAS MAS IMPORTANTES EL 5 Y 6 SON INACCESIBLES. LAS GALERIAS DE LOS NIVELES NIVELES 3 Y 4 TIENEN 170 Y 185 MTS TAMBIEN EXISTEN TRINCHERAS-PIQUES-CATEOS. LA VETA SAN CARLOS HA SIDO MUY POCO TRABAJADA. EL COMPOSITO DE 8 MUESTRAS DE LA VETA DA 1.1 OZ AG/TC Y 3 MUESTRAS DE LAS GALERIAS 2, 3 Y 4 DAN 1.2 OZ AG/TC.
