We own or control a portfolio of over a dozen precious metals projects located in or around the principal silver belt of Mexico, in Argentina and in Nevada (USA). Properties and projects include the Velardeña Properties (Durango State, Mexico), the Rodeo gold project (Durango State, Mexico), the El Quevar district-scale silver project (Salta Province, Argentina) and the Sand Canyon gold-silver project (northwestern Nevada).

Velardeña contains two underground silver and gold mines and two processing mills, one of which is leased to Hecla Mining Company through 2020. We recently announced successful metallurgical test work on pyrite-arsenopyrite flotation concentrate studies using a bio-oxidation ("BIOX") gold recovery process, and a PEA incorporating the BIOX technology has just been completed (March 2020).
Santa Maria is an underground silver and gold mine with a recent positive PEA, low capital cost, and a potential source of near-term production. In October 2019, Golden entered into an option agreement with Magellan Gold to potentially sell its interest in the property to Magellan for $4M plus a royalty stream.
Rodeo is a gold project located 80 km from our Velardeña Properties that is a source of intended open-pit minable ore for Velardeña’s oxide mill (after the Hecla lease ends). We have recently filed a PEA for the project (May 2020) and have initiated the permitting process for an open pit mining operation we intend to bring to production in 2021.
Yoquivo is a district-scale silver and gold exploration project with historic high-grade silver production. Our claims cover an underexplored epithermal precious metals district with excellent access in the productive part of the Sierra Madre.
We have recently added the Sand Canyon gold-silver project in Nevada to our portfolio of properties. We also own or control additional silver and gold properties located in or near the traditional silver-producing areas of Mexico.
