A mine in the southern part of the Huarón district, although not operated by the same company that works other Huarón area mines. "Alimon" mine is a misnomer sometimes encountered in the literature. Primarily hydrothermal Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag vein deposits with some replacement bodies.
Located 3 km SSW of the Huarón mine.

Sometimes confused with the Chugar mine which is some 16 km to the southwest since the Compañía Minera Chungar S.A.C. moved operations to this mine after the Chugar mine was almost totally destroyed in a landslide.

A hydrothermal Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag deposit expressing as veins and mined by a combination of cut & fill and sub-level stoping. Production expected through 2024 [Jan 2022]. The mineralized structures are thought to relate to Miocene aged monzonite dykes principally within the Huaron anticline. Mineralization is encountered in veins parallel to the main fault systems, in replacement bodies associated with the calcareous sections of conglomerates and other favourable stratigraphic horizons, and as dissemination in the monzonitic intrusions at vein intersections. Some mineralization also occurs as mantos. Mineralized veins vary from a few centimetres to up to 10 metres wide, and may extend along strike for up to 1,800 metres. Most of the structures show open mineralization at depth. The first pulse of mineralization was associated with the emplacement of intrusive bodies and the subsequent opening of structures, during which Zn, Fe, Sn, and W minerals were deposited. This was followed by a Cu, Pb, and Ag rich stage, and finally by an Sb/Ag phase associated with quartz.
