|---|---|
| Deposit | EL YACIMIENTO ESTA FORMADO POR TRES UNIDADES LITOLOGICAS QUE SON: INTRUSIONES GRANODIORITICAS, CALIZAS Y TUFOS VOLCANICOS. LA GRANODIORITA AL INTRUIR EN LA CALIZA, HA ORIGINADO UNA AUREOLA METAMORFICA DE CONTACTO ("SKARN") Y UNA MINERALIZACION DENTRO DEL "SKARN". LOS AFLORAMIENTOS SE MUESTRAN EN FORMA DE CRESTAS DE COLORACIONES VERDOSAS. LA POTENCIA DEL SKARN VARIA DE 0.40 M. A 3.5 MTS. |
| Deposit | LA GEOMETRIA DE LOS CUERPOS MINERALIZADOS NO FAVORECERIA SU EXPLOTACION A "TAJO ABIERTO", CON MIRAS A DISMINUIR COSTOS DE MINA. LOS TRABAJOS SE ENCUENTRAN PARALIZADOS. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT |
