- Business
- Mercator Minerals Ltd. was historically engaged as a mining enterprise focused on base metals across North America. The company held significant interests in the Mineral Park Mine, an Arizona-based operation where it explored for and extracted copper, molybdenum, and silver. Additionally, its portfolio encompassed two development initiatives situated in Sonora, Mexico, specifically including the copper heap leach El Pilar project and the El Creston project, which targeted molybdenum and copper deposits. Established in Vancouver, Canada, in 1984, the company was initially known as Silver Eagle Resources Limited before adopting the Mercator Minerals Limited name in March 2001. However, Mercator Minerals Ltd. ceased active operations after filing for bankruptcy in August 2014. Following its financial restructuring, the Mineral Park Mine was subsequently acquired by Origin Mining Company, a subsidiary of Waterton Global Resources, in 2015.
