A Historical Mining Community
Cerro de Pasco, located at an elevation of 4,400 meters in Peru, is not just a city but a legacy of continuous mining operations for nearly 400 years. Established by the Spanish in 1630, this area has seen the extraction of lead, zinc, copper, gold, and silver, shaping it into a mining powerhouse.
The Legacy of Cerro de Pasco
In 1906, the legendary financier J.P. Morgan invested tens of millions of dollars (equivalent to a few billion today) to develop the mine, sending the best engineers, geologists, and technology. Cerro de Pasco Copper Corporation was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1916. Over 400 years, more than 300 million tons of materials have been extracted.
Current Assets and Acquisitions
Cerro de Pasco Resources is set to transform the existing infrastructure and resources:
- 104 million tons stockpile of waste and ore.
- Two flotation facilities previously processing 13,000 tons per day.
- An oxide plant purchased for $140 million, financed through a stream.
The Impact of COVID-19
In March 2020, just as a significant transaction was about to be signed, the COVID-19 pandemic halted progress. The deal to acquire two flotation facilities and the oxide plant was not finalized due to the economic impact and operational shutdowns.
Due Diligence and Resource Evaluation
Over four months, extensive due diligence revealed historical processing data from 1906 to 1992, showing significant untapped resources:
- 75 million tons of tailings with high-value metals like copper, lead, zinc, silver, and gold.
Future Plans and Environmental Impact
The focus now is on transforming these resources into a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate:
- Perform drill tests and environmental impact assessments.
- Address historical environmental liabilities, particularly acid water treatment.
Community and Government Support
The project aims to revitalize the local economy and address environmental concerns:
- Creating Jobs: From a peak of 7,000 to just 500 jobs today, the project aims to restore employment opportunities.
- Education: The revenue generated will support local education, helping children attend colleges and universities.
- Environmental Responsibility: Treating acid water and managing tailings responsibly, aiming to eliminate the problem within 25 years.
- Government Revenue: Projected $23 million in annual income tax from a $104 million annual cash flow.
The Economic Potential
Cerro de Pasco Resources holds an estimated half a billion ounces of silver equivalent above ground, valued between $15 to $17 billion at today’s prices. This positions the company for substantial growth:
- Diversified Metals Portfolio: Including silver, zinc, gold, copper, lead, and other critical metals like gallium, indium, and cerium.
- Market Capitalization: Currently at $40 million CAD, with potential growth as the project advances.
