The area of Las Colmenitas, north of Los Llanos, is where the rest of the works of the "Reserva" mine are located (shaft #2 to #6).

Minerals from La Constante mine :
Adamite, chalcophanite, cerussite, chlorargyrite, conichalcite, descloizite, goethite, hemimorphite, hydrozincite, jarosite, linarite, mimetite, minium, pyromorphite, rosasite, smithsonite, vanadinite, wulfenite.
