    Cascabel Project

    SolGold’s Cascabel concession stands as our flagship project, focusing on the Alpala deposit. On February 16, 2024, the Cascabel project PFS results were announced, reaffirming its world-class potential. Positioned to emerge as a significant South American copper and gold mine, it promises to rank among the top 20 globally. Its key strengths include a high-grade core, favourable infrastructure, and supportive governance.

    We are dedicated to minimizing Cascabel’s carbon footprint, exploring strategies such as maximizing hydro-generation power and enhancing operational efficiency. Our aim is to eliminate Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, paving the way for a sustainable net-zero future. SolGold is committed to pioneering carbon-neutral operations in large-scale copper concentrate mines, contributing to a greener global economy through proactive environmental stewardship.

    By prioritizing sustainable practices, SolGold not only ensures the longevity and success of the Cascabel project but also sets a precedent for responsible mining worldwide. Our commitment to environmental responsibility goes hand in hand with our dedication to economic prosperity and social progress in the regions where we operate. Through collaborative efforts with local communities and stakeholders, we aim to create lasting value while safeguarding the environment for future generations.
