Overview

Condor is located in one of Ecuador's most developed mining regions, near large-scale operations such as the Fruta del Norte gold mine (33 km north) and the Mirador copper mine (55 km north).

 

Zamora-Chinchipe province is serviced twice daily by air from the City of Loja, a three-hour drive from the property.

Target Areas

The Condor deposits are hosted in a Cretaceous volcanic complex of diatremes and rhyolite/dacite intrusives, which crosscut the Jurassic-age Zamora batholith granodiorite. The Project consists of the Los Cuyes, Camp, Soledad, Guaya and Enma deposits located in the northern area.

Exploration Tunnels Permitting

In 2025, the Company will undertake a 3,500-metre surface drilling program over 10 holes at Los Cuyes and Camp, commencing to test several areas where the Company sees exploration potential.

 

With the recently updated MRE, the Company plans to publish a PEA for an underground operation by the end of 2025. In addition, the Company will continue to advance the necessary permits and community agreements required to develop exploration tunnels into the higher-grade zones, which will inform a possible feasibility study that would follow the PEA.

Notes:

  • Mineral resources are reported in relation to a conceptual pit shell for Soledad and Enma, and above an underground extraction economic cut off value for Camp and Los Cuyes. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.
  • AuEq equivalent formulas by deposits using a gold price of US$2,200/oz, silver price of US$27/oz, zinc price of US$2,650/t and lead price of US$1,950/t.

- Camp = Au g/t + Ag g/t * 0.0076 + Zn %* 0.1643 + Pb% * 0.0976.

- Los Cuyes = Au g/t + Ag g/t * 0.0092 + Pb% * 0.1515.

- Soledad = Au g/t + Ag g/t * 0.0109.

- Enma = Au g/t + Ag g/t * 0.0111.

  • Numbers may not compute exactly due to rounding.
