Argentina finds an unbeatable metal mine at more than 3,500 m altitude, one of the most precious in the world, which made the American continent famous since its 'discovery'. Argentina has begun to retrace its energy path after the approval of the RIGI, allowing it to strengthen its mix by attracting greater investments to capitalize on infrastructure, technology, resource production, and export, ultimately increasing its foreign currency treasure.

Strategically located 250 km from the city of Salta and at 3,500 m altitude in the Argentine Puna, the mine was known for its copper extraction. However, the discovery of large amounts of gold led the Canadian company Fortuna Silver Mines to go further with its mining strategy.

The Vancouver-based mining company noted that with this strengthening of infrastructure, results have already begun to be visualized before the end of the year. The company has injected about 41.7 million dollars into the project so far, and only final details remain, which will require a total of 51.8 million dollars to complete.

The numbers are significant: Lindero produced 24,345 oz of gold: 22,569 oz in doré bars, 1,754 oz contained in fine carbon, and 2 oz in copper precipitate. This production exceeds by 6% the same quarter of the previous year, surpassing the 20,933 oz of 2023.

Throughout 2023, Lindero recorded a production of 101,238 oz of gold and treated more than 6 million tons of ore in the leaching area. However, with the improvement works on the grade of the leached ore, Fortuna Silver Mines believes it will meet its goal of reaching 93,000-105,000 oz.

In addition, the company has plans for the expansion of the mining territory with the Arizaro exploration project, located 3.5 km from Lindero, promising greater extraction of copper and gold.
