Thanks for the comments all. It is going to be hard to get a chance Gary, but if I do, and if I can find the words to describe it I will

As Gary has indicated, the mine site is at 2500masl. The ¨snow¨covered peaks (been describe to me more like hail - balls of ice) are at around 4500 to 5300masl.
Coords of the mine for all the Google Earth junkies is 27-19-50S, 66-36-30W. The photos of the snow cap mountains and the plain with a range in the background were taken from about 30kms NNE of the mine where the mine´s water suppy is source from. The snow-capped mountains are to the east.
