Operations center on the La Joya project in Peru's Ancash region, featuring the La Joya high-sulfidation epithermal zone for precious metals, the Mega-Gold intrusive center, and the Compañero gold zone; it also holds a 1% net smelter royalty on the Soledad copper-gold-silver property in the Aija-Ticapampa mining district following a recent transaction.
