Abstract
At the request of the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum, the undersigned took part in special proceedings in the mining region of La Esmeralda in the municipality of Mercaderes (Cauca). This commission served to make a brief reconnaissance of the area and of the metalliferous deposit under exploration. The data provided in this report because of this reconnaissance, within their merely preliminary value, point out the interest that this territory has for mining explorations mainly related to zinc, lead, and copper.
