Yacimiento de Mica "Alto Cazadero", Cerro Pichao, Departamento Tafí del Valle, Provincia de Tucumán, Argentina.
"Alto Cazadero" deposit: town El Pichao, Colalao del Valle. Coordinates: 26° 21'38.2"S, 66°03'57.7" W.
"Alto Cazadero" site is located on the right bank of the Pichao River and 500 metres upstream of the "Milagro" mine on the same side.
The robes recumbent in Alto Cazadero pegmatites the lower is the bearer of mica and has been exploited as mine "Alto Cazadero". This body length reaches 25 meters, the average power is 4 meters. It is 110 ° South course East and tilt 18°-20° South. Structurally pegmatites are zoned, noting a marginal zone, intermediate zone and the core. The marginal zone is of coarse texture, with a size of its components which reach 10 centimetres. The Quartz is in the form of veins or lenses in the plagioclase. The size of the mica is variable according to the dimensions of the lenses. The lenses of reduced size (few centimetres), mica is scaly. Lenticular shapes, mica presents on plates of 15 to 20 centimetres, this area has been exploited for exploitation.
Mica Scrap:
The characterization, use and industrial application of this sample is similar to the site "Don Lorenzo", only that the content of the material in the 50-100 fraction # is 85% pure mica, mica impure 15% and 15% of impurities free.
