About us

The Santa Rosa Gold’s mining complex, a family-owned business for over half a century, involves two primary operations: restarting mining production, and executing a strategic exploration plan.

Our overarching objective is to enhance value by generating immediate revenues from gold and copper concentrate production, as well as validating estimated mineral reserves through geological assessments and drilling exploration.

Resources

Production History

Santa Rosa Mine began with a small-scale exploitation just as the mining industry boomed during the 1960s. the mine consistently yielded impressive mineral grades, prompting in the 1970s, the construction of the dedicated Santa Rosa Plant to process the highly sought-after copper concentrate. Gold prices, however, remained low during this period.

Proven Mineral Resources

• Proven Mineral System

• Historical Production: Decades of successful gold and copper extraction

• Resource Validation: Existing underground development proves mineralization continuity

• Grade Consistency: Historical data confirms reliable ore grades across multiple zones

• Exploration Potential: Multiple untested targets identified through geological surveys

Tailings Resources

This material is ready to be processed alongside fresh mineral to recover a high-grade gold-copper concentrate.

• Volume: 250,000 tons of historical tailings

• Gold Grades: 1.5-3.0 g/t

• Copper Grades: 0.15-0.30%

• Status: Ready for immediate processing

Processing Infrastructure

There are five other tool mill processing plants within a 20-kilometer radius allowing additional processing capacity for future production increase.

The processing plant we'll use the Yaber Plant a 15,000 metric tons a month copper-gold concentrate processing capacity, located at only 5 kilometers from Santa Rosa Mine.

The Santa Rosa Project is strategically situated in the Coquimbo region within the historically renowned La Higuera Mining District, adjacent to the primary national artery, Route 5 (Panamericana).

Positioned just seventy kilometers from the bustling Coquimbo Port and a mere six hundred kilometers north of Santiago, the capital of Chile, the project benefits from its convenient and accessible location, facilitating efficient transportation of resources and fostering connectivity with key logistical hubs.

Geological Assessments

The Santa Rosa Project finds itself nestled within a well-defined ravine, tracing the path of the Atacama Fault System (AFS). This geological feature is quintessential to the landscape of Northern Chile, exerting a significant influence on the region's mineral-rich deposits. Specifically, the AFS serves as a controlling factor for the Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) Belt in the Atacama and Coquimbo areas, where numerous deposits have been discovered and transformed into major mining operations

I.O.C.G. Belt

The Coastal IOCG Belt in Coquimbo Region of Chile is a treasure trove of minerals, primarily featuring Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposits. The belt also boasts valuable copper (chalcopyrite) and gold, with some deposits containing traces of cobalt as well. These mineral riches, alongside other associated minerals, make the region a hot spot for the mining industry.

Geology

The historic La Higuera Mining District, located within the Chilean Coastal IOCG Belt and spanning Chile's northern Coquimbo Region, has been regaining significant interest due to new major mineral deposits discovering. This district, rich in copper, gold, and cobalt mineralization, boasts a promising geological context, making it a hotbed for future exploration and development endeavors.

Atacama Fault System

The Atacama Fault System (AFS) is a major geological feature in Chile. It is a long and narrow zone of faults that runs parallel to the coast of Chile, for about 1,100 kilometers (680 mi).
The fault system is home to a number of mineral deposits, including copper, gold, and iron. The movement of the faults can help to concentrate these minerals, making them easier to mine

Management

Sustainability

Chile is South America's most developed country, known for its stability and prosperity. It ranks among the highest in global mining production, leading in copper and second in lithium. The 2022 Transparency International Corruption Index places Chile in the top quarter, comparable to the United States. making it a tier 1 mining jurisdiction.

Sustainability lies at the core of our commitment to the Santa Rosa mining operations. We implement advanced mining practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. We also engage with local communities to foster economic development and uphold high standards of health and safety for our workers.

Comprising a team of experienced mining professionals, we possess the expertise required to swiftly resume production and implement a comprehensive exploration strategy. By leveraging extensive data analysis, historical production data, and geological insights, we are confident in the significant mineral resource potential aligned with important recent discoveries in the district.
