NECHI PROJECT

The El Bagre, El Limon and Nechí projects lie within the Central Cordillera of the Andes Mountains. In the Bagre-Nechí gold mining district the vast majority of historical gold production to date has come from alluvial deposits within river basins, including the Nechí River. In addition to alluvial gold, structurally controlled mesothermal gold-silver and sulphide-bearing quartz vein lode deposits are hosted within intrusive rocks.

Nechí and El Bagre are two examples of such mineralization. The mineralized veins at Nechí are hosted within the Mesozoic-aged Segovia batholith and mineralized veins at El Bagre are hosted within the Carboniferous aged El Carmen intrusive. The veins average approximately one metre in thickness and extend for up to five kilometres.
