Maybe it's the portuguese word "jazigo" which is a synonym for deposit ?

Thanks, Antonio. The original contributor is Portuguese, so that makes sense. Perhaps etymologically related to the spanish "yacimiento"? (deposit)

Olá......the text is mine.....excuse my poor English ......but deposit in Portuguese is heavier than "jazigo". In Portuguese a deposit of Iron is for example different from a "jazigo". Reason?........because a "jazigo" can be a small thing and a deposit has a financial effort.
