Nazarena Mine is a collection of several nearby mines including Minas Loulik, Minas Casta, and Minas Ana Mary. The mines were worked from 1940 until around 1963.
Mindat lists 8 minerals from the site, with stibnite being the most prominent – nice crystalline specimens in Quartz matrix.
I was able to find several Spanish language blogs and articles from visitors to the mines, linked below.
As of 2014 the ruins of several mine buildings were still visible, and there were still some dumps which could be picked over for specimens.
