Comments on the commodity information

  • LA MINERALOGIA CONSISTE PRINCIPALMENTE DE ESFALERITA MASIVA VARIANDO DESDE MARMATITA A BLENDA RUBIA, HEMATITA Y MAGNETITA. ADEMAS EXISTE PIRITA, GALENA CHALCOPIRITA Y CUARZO; PERO EN MENOR PROPORCION. LA AUREOLA DE SKARN CON GRANATES, CLORITA, EPIDOTA Y ESPECULARITA SE EXTIENDE HASTA UNOS 100 M DEL CONTACTO Y DEL CUERPO MINERALIZADO.

Comments on the geologic information

  • LAS CALIZAS SE ENCUENTRAN SUAVEMENTE PLEGADAS CONFORMANDO UN HOMOCLINAL . ESTAN INTRUIDAS POR UN STOCK GRANODIORITICO CUYO CONTACTO CONSTITUYE UNA FALLA REGIONAL PARALELA A LA ESTRATIFICACION DE LAS CALIZAS. LIMITADA POR 2 FALLAS SE PUEDEN DIFERENCIAR DOS AREAS ESTRUCTURALES; UNA AL NORTE DE LA FALLA NORTE Y AL SUR DE LA FALLA SUR, DONDE LA CALIZA APENAS ESTA MARMOLIZADA CERCA AL CONTACTO, LA SEGUNDA EN LA ZONA CENTRAL, LIMITADA POR LAS DOS FALLAS, SE ENCUENTRAN INTENSAMENTE METAMORFIZADA CON UNA AUREOLA DE UNOS 100 M DE EXOSKARN.
