La Guitarra Mine
La Guitarra Mine is located in the Temascaltepec Mining District in the State of Mexico, which is approx. 130km from Mexico City. Host rocks range in age from Mesozoic Schist and Slates to Tertiary volcanics and intrusives.
The Ag-Au mineralization is the product of a large low-sulfidation hydrothermal system. Ore grade mineralization is structurally controlled, and varies in size from narrow high-grade veins to bulk tonnage zones ranging up to 70m in width. The scale and size of this hydrothermal system is what created the tremendous economic potential of the Temascaltepec Mining District. The core of the district is a mineralized belt over 15km long and at least 4km wide, containing 100s of documented veins.
In some areas, the rock containing the Ag-Au veins has been covered by younger basalt flows. However, La Guitarra and Santa Ana veins have been successfully drill-tested under these basalts.
