    The Project is located in an [...]

  • Exploration & Evaluation

    In order to properly assess the economic potential of the Torrecillas Project, during 2008 Mundo Minerals initiated development of an exploration decline that is being used to access the high-grade vein structures.
    Part of the project assessment will be to undertake exploratory mine development along the veins and expose the mineralization to enable a proper assessment [...]
