The centre of the La Iguana property (Ral) is located approximately 26 kilometers northwest of the La Providencia property. Access to the property requires a drive of approximately 100 kilometers from Sabinas Hidalgo to La Iguana--an old silver, lead and zinc operation.
Geology & Mineralization
The Ral property is underlain by Cretaceous limestone, shaly limestone, limey shale and chert. The sedimentary rocks have been cut by numerous Tertiary intrusive rocks of intermediate composition, forming large irregular bodies (up to two kilometers across) and dykes. Skarn and hornfels locally occur in the vicinity of the intrusions. There are a number of lead-zinc-silver occurrences and prospects, some of which produced moderate amounts of ore in the past. Mineralization is controlled by structure (faults and fractures), stratigraphy (mostly the Cretaceous Austin Formation) and intrusive contacts.
