The Pitanayo Vein System is located in the Metallogenic Belt XXI-A related to Au-Ag epithermal hosted in volcanic rocks.
Where are important mines and projects such as Arcata, Ares, Orcopamapa, Pariguanas, among others.
The Vein System of the Pitanayo Project corresponds to a system of silver veins associated with a low sulphidation epithermal deposit. The veins are filled with quartz in various stages, distinguishing between white, hyaline, amethyst and gray quartz.
Mineralogically, the veins are composed of: red silver, stembergite, argentite, polybasite, and sporadically sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and marcasite.
The width of the vein goes from 0.40m to 1.20m

The project is located approximately 10 hours from the port of Ilo.

The Doña Elvira mine is located in the Crucero district, Carabaya province, Puno department.

Geology

The lithology is represented by greenish gray sandstones of the Tarma group. The mineralization is in veins and is made up of fine-grained galena, sphalerite, malachite and iron oxides, with a quartz gangue. The type of deposit is vein and in the form of a rosary.

Comments

The main vein has a strike of N10° W and a dip of 65°NE, being an irregular deposit. The power of the vein ranges from 0.40m to 1.20m. You can see a main work in a gallery that is approximately 50 meters long with a width of up to 2.5m. Currently there are no mining works.
