An antimony mine located 6 km ESE of Yura. Belonged to EMUSA until that corporation sold it to their own employee Nestor Rocabado, in part as his severance pay and in part for a percentage of future production. After his death, Rocabado's sons leased the mine to Jorge Salinas and Co., who operated it as the Compañia Minera Salinas (COMISAL), currently (2014) one of the principal antimony producers in Bolivia.
