Nativo has interests in gold mining and exploration projects in Peru. Through a 50:50 joint venture established in July 2024 with an experienced local partner, Nativo secured an opportunity to scale operations at the Tesoro Gold Concession, owning 50% of the production and resources, targeting early cash flow generation in Q4 2024. In December 2024, Nativo agreed to acquire directly a 100% interest in the Morrocota Gold Mine, proximal to the Tesoro Gold Concession. Production from Morrocota is anticipated to commence by the end of Q1 2025. Longer-term, the Company plans to establish its own gold ore processing plant to retain a higher margin from production at its mines.
In addition to primary gold mining projects, the Company also holds the Ana Lucia Polymetallic concession and is investigating low capex strategies to appraise and exploit tailings deposits to recover gold.
