Deposit LA MINERALIZACION, PROCEDENTE DE SOLUCIONES HIDROTERMALES, SE HALLA EN FORMA DE LENTES ELONGADOS EN EL SENTIDO DEL BUZAMIENTO, RELLENANDO FRACTURAS CON RUMBO NORTE Y BUZAMIENTO SUB-VERTICAL CON PEQUENAS FALLAS TRANSVERSALES. EN LOS NIVELES SUPERIORES LA CANTIDAD DE OXIDOS DE FIERRO ES GRANDE Y EN SUPERFICIE EL AFLORAMIENTO ES POCO PERCEPTIBLE POR EL ENCAPE DE MATERIAL SUELTO.
