Description

Depósito Arizaro (ubicado a 3 kilómetros de Lindero): perforación de exploración enfocada en seguir probando y extender el potencial de rumbo de 2,5 kilómetros hacia el suroeste y en profundidad. • Mina Lindero: ~6.000 metros de perforación de relleno planificados para apuntar a Recursos Minerales Inferidos ubicados por debajo del pit final, con el objetivo de convertir recursos adicionales en reservas y extender la vida útil de la mina.

Processing

Heap Leaching, with metallurgical recovery above 75% through the ADR plant.

Average Annual Production

Production in 2023: 101,238 oz of gold

Full Production for 2024: 97,287 oz de oro

Resources & Reserves

  • Lindero: 1.206 Moz of gold as proven and probable reserves (69,174 MT with a gold grade of 0.54 g/t), plus 421,000 oz of gold
  • measured indicated resources (30,724 MT with a gold grade of 0.43 g/t), and 449,000 oz
  • inferred resources (30,364 MT with a gold grade of 0.46 g/t) Arizaro Project: 389,000 oz de gold (32,400 MT with a gold grade of 0,37 g/t)

Additional Comments

The Lindero project is designed as a conventional heap leaching process with a nominal production rate of around 6,750,000 metric tons (MT) per year (18,750 tons / day). The ore will be crushed in a 3 stage circuit consisting of a primary jaw crusher, one secondary cone crusher and one HPGR crusher. Subsequently, the ore will be transported via conveyor belts to a leach pad in banks of 10 meters.
