The Corporation’s assets include three exploration properties, including the advanced high-grade gold Tumipampa property and an operating 85.000 TPA gold and silver ore processing mill at Metalex-Huanca. The Corporation is currently building a new 300 tpd ore processing plant in Chala (Southern Peru) and expects to begin operations in mid-2016. This new plant represents an important milestone for the Corporation’s future growth.
