A mine in the making
Cerro Resources through its majority controlled subsidiary SAM has defined a large copper-gold-silver resource at Cerro del Gallo. The copper resource contains 1.4 billion lbs of copper. Cerro has chosen to first develop the gold-silver portion of the deposit that is easily treatable by convention heap leaching. As un-oxide ore is exposed by the open pit operation a carbon-in-leach process plant will be added to the circuit to treat the fresh or un-oxidised material and fully capitalise on this gold resource.
