About Nativo Resources Plc
Nativo has interests in gold projects in Peru. The Company's strategy is based on three core activities: primary gold mining, gold ore processing, and the recovery of gold from tailings. The Company has already acquired or optioned several projects for development and has identified additional opportunities for expansion. Nativo's nearest-term objective is to scale operations on the Tesoro Gold Concession, focusing on the Bonanza and Morrocota mines. Nativo intends to allocate portions of free cash flow from mining and processing activities, and from future fund raises, to Bitcoin purchases and to hold Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's Statement
Nativo has now fully repositioned itself as a small-scale gold miner in areas that offer the opportunity for near term production and cash flow, and the potential to rapidly build a resource inventory. In line with this strategy, the Company rebranded as Nativo Resources Plc. Accordingly, Nativo's core strategy is as follows:
Β· Achieve early cash flow from formalised artisanal mining in Peru, initially from the Bonanza and Morrocota mines at the Tesoro Gold Concession in the Nazca-Ocona gold corridor, Arequipa region of southern Peru.
Β· Develop a gold ore processing plant, replacing use of third-party tolling plants, to process ore supplied by artisanal small-scale mining ("ASM") operations on a fixed margin basis in addition to Nativo's own production.
Β· Secure and clean tailings deposits known to contain gold and silver.
Β· Acquire other ASM gold mines with a short runway to production and where the level of indicated resource is attractive.
Β· Establish relationships with local partners who have the resources and competence to execute.
Β· Use cash flow from operations to boost production and scale operations.
New projects will only be considered that are either in production or pre-production, meaning that they can be brought into production within 12 months with a low initial investment, resulting in early profitability and with the potential to scale.
