- Xiana Mining Inc. (TSXV: XIA.H; OTC: DRIFF) is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration and development company focused on the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of mineral properties containing precious and base metals, including copper, gold, and silver. The company previously operated the Minera Altos de Punitaqui (MAP) copper-gold mining complex in Region IV, Chile, which comprised four producing copper-gold mines, a 3,600 tons per day concentrator, associated infrastructure, and a total land package of 11,838 hectares; it produced copper-gold concentrates from this asset following its acquisition from Glencore plc in November 2018 for $25 million. Xiana Mining maintains its headquarters at 837 West Hastings Street, Suite 507, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3N6, and was founded in 1981, originally as Dorato Resources Inc. before changing its name in October 2013. In a major strategic shift, the company transferred 100% ownership of Minera Altos de Punitaqui to Battery Mineral Resources Corp. in February 2024, enabling a focus on evaluating new development-stage mining opportunities amid ongoing financial reorganization efforts. Xiana Mining operates primarily in the metals and mining sector, targeting copper-gold and polymetallic deposits in Latin America, including historical interests in the Northern Peru Cu-Au Belt in the Cajamarca Region and central Chile.
