La India
Production aim: 170,000oz/y
Condor Gold plans to begin production at its La India project in 24 months before delivering an underground expansion.
The company has secured permits for an open pit operation producing 120,000oz/y gold over seven years, CEO Mark Child told the TSX Latam Mining Investor Day.
“We can materially expand that production to 170,000oz/y by adding the underground [operation]. The intention is to do that when we are in production,” Child told the online event.
Condor is currently focused on getting the project shovel-ready, with site clearance due to start this year, and buying land for the permitted mine infrastructure, which is about 93% complete.
Engineering for a tailings storage facility is also advancing and about 45% complete, the CEO said, with further exploration also planned.
