Flag Description: A blue field with a black hoist chevron (wedge) extending to the center of the flag, and a white chevron pointing towards the fly whose apex reaches three-quarters of the flag's length, issuing from the first quarter of the upper and lower edges. The aspect ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag design is derived from the historical municipal coat of arms depicting a miner in a rocky valley. The black hoist wedge symbolizes the mining tradition, the miner's tunic, and underground shafts for extracting silver and ores. The white chevron represents both the rocky valley where the town is situated and precious metals, set against the blue field taken from the shield of the coat of arms.
