The Mina Igor Gold Property is located in the Yanacocha-Pierina gold belt of Northern Peru, an historic gold mining region dating back to the Spanish colonial era. Access to the site is a five hour road trip from Trujillo, which has mining infrastructure and a skilled workforce. Like Mina Igor, several operating gold mines and deposits in the belt are sandstone-hosted. The previous operator recovered 5,000 ounces of gold by crude vat heap leach methods from 15,000 tonnes of mineralized rock in the high-grade breccia zone.
