Near-Term Gold Mining & Processing in Peru
Nativo aims to establish itself as a vertically integrated gold mining and processing business in Peru. The company's strategy is based on developing three core activities: primary gold mining, gold ore processing, and the recovery of gold from tailings. The company has already acquired or optioned several projects for development and has identified additional opportunities for expansion. Nativo's nearest-term objectives are to establish gold production and develop La Patona Gold Ore Processing Plant to process Nativo's own and third-party material.
La Patona is construction-ready, with construction, commissioning and first gold production targeted in Q4 2026, subject to completion of project financing. Cash flow from mining and processing is intended to help fund further development of Nativo's Peruvian portfolio, including advancing a strategy to reprocess historical tailings deposits to recover contained gold and silver.
Key strategic goals include:
- Early cash flow from formalised artisanal mining
- Developing own gold ore processing plant, replacing tolling
- Secure and clean known tailings deposits containing gold and silver
- Acquire other gold mines with short runway to production
