Epithermal Zn–Pb–Ag ore deposit.

Located immediately south of the La Rosa prospect (porphyry copper) and the Doris prospect (Au-Cu).
Also located nearby the Queen Elisabeth deposit (~5km east of Patricia), 50 km northeast of Iquique and 30 km west of the international border with Bolivia.

Note: Coordinates uncertain; Chinchilla et al. (2016) give:
19°81′(sic) S and longitude 69°06′ W. (these are actually decimal degrees)
