GoldMining Boosts Crucero Project Resources by 75% with Antimony Inclusion

Event summary

  • GoldMining updated its Crucero Project mineral resource estimate, including antimony for the first time.
  • Indicated resources increased by 75% to 1.74 million ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq).
  • Antimony contributes 25% of indicated AuEq ounces and 29% of inferred AuEq ounces.
  • The estimate uses long-term average prices of US$3,110/oz for gold and US$28,700/t for antimony.
  • The Crucero Project is located in Carabaya Province, Peru, and spans 4,600 hectares.

The big picture

GoldMining's updated mineral resource estimate for the Crucero Project highlights the strategic importance of antimony, a critical metal with growing industrial demand. The inclusion of antimony in the resource estimate underscores the company's efforts to unlock additional value from its assets. The project's location in Peru, a region with significant mining activity, positions it within a broader context of resource development and geopolitical considerations.
