Name(s) in local language(s):
Mina Cobriza


An old abandoned Pb-Ag-As-Cu-Zn mine; the mineralization is hosted in sedimentary and volcanic rocks.

Not to be confused with the Manto Cobriza Mine, http://www.mindat.org/loc-191815.html (apparently a different location).

Probably this is the mine that was erroneously designated "Corbriza mine" by Yang et al. (2011).
