Cerro Prieto Gold Mine
A 100%-owned, producing heap-leach gold mine in the Cucurpe District of Sonora, Mexico, in operation since 2013.
Producing gold in the Cucurpe District
The Cerro Prieto Project is a 100%-owned, ~4,335-hectare property in the Cucurpe Mining District of Sonora, Mexico, just 52 road kilometres from the regional centre of Magdalena de Kino and 150 kilometres northeast of Hermosillo. It is a shallow open-pit heap-leach operation on a mesothermal vein system, producing gold-silver doré through two crushing circuits and an adsorption-desorption-recovery (ADR) plant. It has been in production since 2013 at roughly 11,500 ounces per year, with an in-house 2026 estimate of 17,000–20,000+ ounces.
Inside the operation
A producing mine with infrastructure (open pits, crushing circuits, heap-leach pads and an ADR recovery plant) in the heart of Sonora's mining country.
A district-scale opportunity
Cerro Prieto sits on a 2.5-kilometre-plus mineralized shear zone that has only been partially tested. Mining is focused today on the Esperanza zone, with a deep pipeline of advanced and early-stage targets stepping out along trend.
The Cerro Prieto Major Shear Zone
A network of pits and zones traces the structure across the property, from the producing Esperanza zone through advanced targets like Nueva Esperanza and Reyna, to a string of early-stage discoveries stepping south along the trend. Together they underpin the plan to extend mine life and grow the resource.
17 holes drilledNueva Esperanza Zone
Partially drilled with 17 drill holes returning excellent results. Additional drilling will continue to define the extent of this high-grade zone.

An undrilled exploration target, trenched with promising results, suggesting it may be an extension of the Nueva Esperanza Zone.
2.5 km trendNewly discovered zones
Exploration along a 2.5 km trend SSE from the Centro Pit, the southern extension of the main Cerro Prieto shear zone, has produced excellent preliminary surface samples.
