El Ingles mine is close to Cerro Minas area roughly 4km south of Carratraca village. Chromiun-nickel ores hosted in cordieritite veins with felsic leucogranites and aplites were worked, in conjunction with San Juan and Rosario mining groups, all belonging to los Jarales area.

Lherzolites are highly fractured and weathered and currently collector specimens are hardly to find out.
