Nativo Resources plc engages in gold mining, exploration, and production primarily in Peru. Incorporated in 2005 and headquartered at 85 Great Portland Street, First Floor, London, W1W 7LT, United Kingdom, the company operates through its Peruvian subsidiaries and focuses on three core activities: primary gold mining from concessions such as the Tesoro Gold Concession in the Nazca-Ocona gold corridor in Arequipa, including the Bonanza and Morrocota mines; gold ore processing, initially via third-party tolling plants with plans to develop its own facility to handle artisanal small-scale mining output on a fixed-margin basis alongside proprietary production; and recovery of gold from tailings deposits in areas like Huaraz in northern Peru and the Ana Lucia Project spanning 2,100 hectares in the Ancash region, which features 17 quartz-tourmaline breccias containing gold, silver, lead, and zinc sulfides. The company targets early cash flow generation from formalised artisanal mining operations, sells local gold ore, and allocates portions of free cash flow from mining and processing, as well as future fundraises, to Bitcoin purchases held as a long-term treasury reserve asset. In July 2024, Nativo established a 50:50 joint venture, Boku Resources SAC, to secure the Tesoro Gold Concession opportunity; in December 2024, it signed a binding term sheet to acquire the adjacent Morrocota Gold Mine outright for accelerated production and economies of scale, with output anticipated by early 2025; and subsequently bought out its joint venture partner to gain 100% control of Peruvian operations, enhancing shareholder value while shifting from its prior identity as Echo Energy plc (rebranded September 2024) away from historical oil and gas activities in Argentina and Bolivia toward gold-focused expansion.
