Name of the Project
Soto Norte gold/copper project.

California – Vetas mining area, in Colombia.

Project Owner/s
Aris Mining Corporation announced in May 2024 that it has entered into a binding agreement with MDC Industry Holding Company, whereby, subject to certain customary conditions, Aris Mining will acquire an additional 31% joint venture (JV) interest in the project.

On closing, Aris Mining will hold a 51% interest in Soto Norte and Mubadala will retain a 49% interest. Aris Mining will continue to be the operator of the project.

Project Description
The 2022 feasibility study proposes a 7 200 t/d capacity processing plant with average production of more than 450 000 oz/y of gold over an 11-year production period from a five-million ounce mineral reserve .

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
At a base case gold price of $1 675/oz, the project has an after-tax net present value, at a 5% discount rate, of $1.5-billion and an internal rate of return of 20.8%.
