Corporate presentation summary
25 Mar, 2026Strategic focus and asset portfolio
Metates is among the world's largest undeveloped gold-silver deposits, with a measured and indicated resource of 16.8Moz gold and 423Moz silver, plus 2.1Moz gold and 59Moz silver inferred.
The company is prioritizing Metates development, proprietary oxidative leach technology, and the Lucy gold project, while divesting non-core assets like Tatatila for equity and royalty upside.
Well-funded with approximately C$10 million in treasury and strong shareholder support, including over 35% insider ownership.
Metates project highlights
The 2021 PEA outlines a 15ktpd sulphide heap leach starter project with a 31-year mine life, initial capex of US$359M, and average annual production of 147Koz AuEq (years 1-15).
Operating cash costs are US$686/oz Au, AISC is US$749/oz Au, and pre-tax NPV (5%) is US$1.14B at $1,600/oz gold and $22/oz silver, with a 35% IRR and 2.5-year payback.
The project benefits from a 90% reduction in capex versus the 2016 PFS, a compact site layout, and lower environmental footprint.
Updated drilling in 2021/22 confirmed a higher-grade core, improving gold grades by over 15% in key zones.
Proprietary oxidative leach technology
The technology enables gold recoveries exceeding 70% from refractory sulphide ores, with successful testwork at Metates and third-party sites.
It reduces water, energy, and GHG emissions compared to conventional autoclave processes, supporting a "Green Gold" approach.
The technology is protected by patents and is being commercialized for broader industry application.
