The Bethania mine was privately owned for the past forty years, produced high-grade sulphide ore from several veins in a structurally controlled swarm. Although 60% of the value is contained in silver, the veins also host recoverable lead, zinc, copper and gold. More than 6 km of underground workings currently access 7 veins right at or close to surface, with significant upside remaining along strike and at depth. The mine is ocated in the heart of the silver-zinc-lead belt in Central Peru and has been producing very high grade silver ore with lead and zinc by-products for more than 40 years. Kuya’s team includes senior executives, advisors, and professionals in Canada and Peru, that manage all aspects of the operations from the boardroom to the mine site.
Kuya plans to execute an aggressive growth strategy, through exploration and development, that would see the Bethania Mine become a meaningful silver producer in 2021 and beyond.
