1. INTRODUCTION

Peru is a country with abundant natural resources, among them we have minerals.
metallic and non-metallic economically exploitable, of which some are in
exploration, exploitation and others paralyzed for various reasons, causes, etc. For the
the extraction of these resources should be carried out with appropriate mining planning, in order to
to put them into operation.

For this, it is necessary to carry out a mining plan that includes the diagnosis of the
possibilities of extracting said resources, through an intellectual process that consists of the
análisis integral de los factores de producción dentro de la empresa, sus limitaciones internas
and external; and everything related to the objectives, and good results to achieve.

The technical visit was carried out on behalf of CORMIN S.A. The main objective has been

property of Mr. Gotardo Quispe Salas. The mine was leased for 7 years to the company Los
Chunchos, having exploited it until February 2010, at a production rate
of 6,000 tons per month, with values of 10% Zn, 3% Pb, and 2.2 Oz Ag/TM. The veins have a
variable power between 0.8 to 2.2 m., are of the rosary type, characteristic of this type of
fill deposits of fault. Its main structures are: Don Mario Vein, Vein
Juanita and Veta Victoria. It has vein systems that have not yet been exploited but that

Leonila, Veta Gabriela, and Brecha Don Mario. The mine does not have a concentration plant.
which is an excellent opportunity to process this mineral at the Azulcocha Plant.
The main objective of the visit was to recognize the potential of the site, to determine the
rehabilitation work that allows the company to restart operations as soon as possible
 short-term possible and thus allow to increase the mine's production in the short and medium term
deadline.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE

2.1. GENERAL ASPECTS
2.1.1. Location
The Don Mario mine is located in the district of Chongos Alto,
Huancayo province and Junín department at 4413 meters above sea level, having as
title of the company Consorcio Empresarial AGMIN S.A.C. The mining concession
It has 150 hectares and a production rate of 6000 tons per month with 10% Zn, 3% Pb, and 2.2%

OnzAg/TM. Its main structures are the Mario Vein, Juanita Vein, and Vein.
Victoria has a variable power between 0.8 to 2.2 m. See Figure No.

It is accessible from Lima via the following routes. See Table No.

2.1.2. Geology
2.1.3. Mineralization
The main structures belong to the transverse system N30° to 50° E and
Tilt angles of 45° to 80° NW or SE. They consist of tabular vein faults of the rosary type.
with breccia-like and vein-like texture.

Vein Don Mario: With a heading of N 42° to 50° E and a dip of 70° to 77° NW,

recognized over 1,700 with 1.2 m of power on the surface. It has been the
most exploited throughout the life of the mine. The current level of exploitation is
4250 in the central area, missing exploration of the extremes. The laws underground.
according to their cubic reserves are 3.81% Pb, 11.37% Zn and 4.06 oz/TM
from Ag.

Veta Juanita: It consists of a breccia structure with a thickness of 1 to 2 meters with N

20° to 35° E and dip 70° to 85° NW, at the surface has been identified at
500 m long. Currently, a ramp has been entered to recognize the
quota 4380 the mineral. 50 m have been developed in mineralized structure.
Mineralization identified in this vein consists of galena and brunkite (variety
from sphalerite). According to its longitudinal section plan, the average grade of
this vein is 10.9% Pb, 2.09% Zn, and 0.51 oz/TM of Ag.

Brecha Don Mario: It is located to the NE of the Don Mario vein, after the Tomas Fault.
It is a limestone gap with sub-rounded to sub-angular clasts (see photo)
It has been explored at level 250, locating a mineralized area of
 approximately 150 m2, with recrystallization of the limestone. It is an area
important for exploration, as it may contain high volumes of mineral.
It has been exploited in ancient times, with its values unknown, as the part
high (Lv. 4,300) upwards has collapsed.

Veta América. They are a set of parallel veins with directions N 45° to 50° W,
orthogonal to the Juanita Vein and with dips of 45° to 70° NE, which has been
identified at about 150 m in length. It is a system of veins from 10 to 20 cm
of power located in calcite and iron oxides. The identified mineralization
this vein consists of galena and sphalerite. It was also observed at the surface the

The mineralization of this vein consists of oxidized minerals of Zn, Pb, and Ag.

The Graciela vein is a vein with a direction of N 30° E and a dip of 75° to 80° NW.
In this vein, the presence of galena, pyrite, and silver sulfosalts was noted.

5. CONCLUSIONES

Also in the report by ING. Carlos Guzmán, Ortiz project manager of TRAFIGURA
URION recommends that AGMIN SAC prepares a
work schedule that includes the following stages: Studies to obtain
legal operating permits (Small Miner Producer Registration, EIA and COM)
rehabilitation work schedule, pumping of flooded areas,
planning and design of mining, projection of operational costs and investment,
acquisition and rental of equipment and commissioning of the project.
According to studies, the mine has three main veins: Don Mario, Juanita, and the
Brechas Don Mario, of which the first two have been in process.
for preparation, development and operation. Other veins have been recognized on the surface.
that emerge as is the case of the Vetas América, Leonila and Graciela with directions
similar to the Veta Juanita and Don Mario with similar potency and mineralization to the
Vetas Don Mario and Juanita. It is recommended to carry out reconnaissance work and
more detailed geological interpretation in these areas recognized in the field.
