ABOUT THE COPALQUIN GOLD SILVER PROJECT

The Copalquin Gold Silver Project is located in Durango State, Mexico and covers an entire mining district of 70km2 containing over 32 historic Gold and Silver mines and workings. The district is within the Sierra Madre Gold Silver Trend which extends north-south along the western side of Mexico and hosts many world class Gold and Silver deposits.

Multiple mineralisation events, young intrusives thought to be system-driving heat sources, widespread alteration together with extensive surface vein exposures and dozens of historic mine workings, identify the Copalquin mining district as a major epithermal centre for Gold and Silver.
