Securing and advancing district scale gold projects driving
Peru’s modern day gold rush

Palamina Corp. (PA: TSX-V) has secured 5 gold projects in south-eastern Peru in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt (POGB). Palamina’s Peruvian based exploration team have a cumulative 35 years’ experience in the POGB and are supported by a board of directors and advisors who are proven mine finders, deal makers and financiers. 

The modern day gold rush underway in south-eastern Peru expands every year. In 2017, at 155 metric tonnes per annum, Peru was #6 in the world for reported gold production. Alluvial gold mining operations in the jungles of Madre de Dios and in the high Andes at San Antonio de Poto (an alluvial mining operation below La Rinconada which occurs above 5,000 m elevation), extend over 700 square kilometres and host >70,000 informal miners where reported illegal mining figures represent >28% of Peru’s annual gold production. The POGB is one of the worlds least formally explored orogenic gold belts. Palamina’s five district scale gold projects have previously been partially ground-truthed by artisanal, small-scale and informal miners who are generally limited to mining gold from the top 50–100 metres below surface. Mineralized orogenic systems extend downwards to over 1,000 metre depth. Palamina intends to drive shareholder value through discovery.
