Snapshot	The Quinchia Gold Project comprises a cluster of porphyry and epithermal gold-copper targets, all situated within a 3km radius. The project’s Mineral Resources are underpinned by three key deposits: Tesorito, Miraflores, and Dosquebradas. In October 2023, CARDER, the Environmental Authority of Colombia's Risaralda state, approved LCL's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Miraflores deposit and issued an Environmental Licence. The 2017 Miraflores Feasibility Study, which formed the basis for the Environmental Licence, outlines an underground mining operation feeding a 0.47 Mtpa processing plant. Notably, the plant design does not include the near-surface Tesorito porphyry gold deposit, located less than 1km east of Miraflores, or the Dosquebradas Resource, situated approximately 2km to the northwest.

Deposit type

• Porphyry
• Epithermal

Summary:

From a metallogenetic standpoint, mineralisation in the Quinchía district is genetically linked to the emplacement of a cluster of Miocene-aged hypabyssal porphyry bodies. A variety of magmatic hydrothermal Au (Cu) and Au-Ag (Pb, Zn, Cu) deposit types are associated with the geochemical and cooling history of the porphyry bodies.

The Quinchia Gold Project comprises a cluster of porphyry and epithermal gold-copper targets each located within a 3km radius, underpinned by Mineral Resources from three deposits Tesorito, Miraflores and Dosquebradas. Miraflores is an advanced component of the Quinchia Gold Project.
