| Geology of the Boleo Project |
|
|
The deposit, which occurs in the Boleo Formation, comprises seven mineralized units called
“Mantos” (manto is a Spanish term used in mining parlance for a generally mineralized layer or
stratum). The mineralized mantos dip gently to the east but faulting, which is common
throughout the project area, produces a step-like pattern in the present position of the mantos.
