Minas de Corrales is a town in the Rivera Department of northeastern Uruguay.

[citation needed] From the end of December 1879 to the start of March 1880 Henry Küss visited Uruguay to evaluate the gold concession on the Arroyo Corrales.

His report was unenthusiastic, saying only that it might be worth spending two or three hundred thousand francs on a more systematic study.

[3] In 1997 the mining operations resumed by the company Uruguay Mineral Exploration (UME).

Although the whole area is best visible from along the banks of Tacuarembó River, the hills can be approached by a road splitting south from Route 29, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) after Minas de Corrales.
