The Bramaderos Project benefits from being in a highly advantageous location that makes it a very attractive development project:

  • Low-altitude project located in the base of a broad valley approximately 900m above sea level;
  • Sealed-road access located on the Pan-American Highway;
  • Cluster of five interconnected porphyry systems at surface that can be mined immediately;
  • Access to water, noting existing exploration permits to extract from the adjacent Rio Catamayo river;
  • Requires no major river diversions, and there are no significant downstream population centres;
  • Connection to the power grid with future options to satisfy planned capacity requirements;
  • Is not located near any environmentally-protected areas;
  • Is in a remote region in southern Ecuador with strong local community support;
  • Is located 90 minutes by highway from the Loja Catamayo Airport with direct flights to the Ecuadorian capital Quito;
  • It is a three to six-hour drive by highway to international ports at Machala (Puerto Bolivar) and Guayaquil.
