Abstract
The geochemical characterization of the San Quintín mine pond is the aim of this study. This kind of
waste deposits represents large accumulations of reactive minerals and subsequently, emission sources of
heavy metals and formation of acid drainage. Samples from three boreholes have been analyzed in order
to obtain a series of relevant parameters, such as the mineralogical and chemical composition, its distribution
and variation in depth. Heavy metals content are significant in studied samples, but acid mine drainage
has not been detected affecting the San Quintín mine pond
