La Mina Tres Amigos
Crocidolite mine. Underground workings accessed by inclined adit at Quebrada Asbestera, 670 to 750 metres elevation. Later worked by two adits at "Paraje Nuevo", located at 710 to 735 metres elevation, about 350 metres NW of Quebrada Asbestera.
A former asbestos mine and concession, now abandoned and partially overgrown.
The mine had an aerial cable across the Minas Mayu, owing to the extremely hilly nature of the deposit.
