Comments on the reserve resource information

  • NO SE DAN RESERVAS EN ESTA MINA SE REPORTA BUENA CANTIDAD DE "AG" EN LOS MINERALES DE LA VETA PRINCIPAL PERO TIENE POCA POTENCIA Y BAJOS VALORES DE "CU" LO QUE LO HACE ANTIECONOMICO. SE HAN TOMADO ALGUNAS MUESTRAS QUE DAN UN PROMEDIO DE 1.63% CU PARA 0.3M DE POTENCIA DILUIDO ENTRE 0.8 MT TENDRIAMOS 0.6% CU Y 5.50 OZ/TC AG. UN COMPOSITO DE LAS MUESTRAS DIO 14.80 OZ/TC AG.

Comments on the workings information

  • LOS TRABAJOS SON ANTIGUOS Y CONSTAN DE MEDIAS BARRETAS-GALERIAS Y PIQUES. LAS LABORES ACCESIBLES SON 3 (CON UNA LONGITUD TOTAL DE 500 MT). ACTUALMENTE ESTA PARALIZADA ESTE YACIMIENTO (1974)
