Alturas Minerals is an exploration company dedicated to the discovery of world-class gold and base metals deposits in Peru. The country´s enormous geological potential is well recognized and underscored by the continuing discovery of world-class orebodies.

The Company’s strategy is to acquire high quality gold and base metal exploration properties in key mineral belts and explore them quickly and efficiently.  Projects with good short term value creation potential are advanced aggressively and strategic partners are selected for those projects requiring longer term investment.

Alturas´s team generates new projects through a combination of advanced scientific prospectivity analysis and identification of key opportunities. With decades of exploration and discovery experience in Peru, the Alturas team has evaluated and filtered dozens of potential projects over the past four years. Twelve of the best properties have been acquired and now form the Alturas “pipeline” of high potential exploration projects.

• 600 hectare project in the gold-silver epithermal belt of southern Peru
• Located 25 kilometers northwest of 0.5 M oz Brea Pampa gold discovery
• Intense alunite and silicic alteration typical of high sulfidation epithermal system
• Strong gold and silver rock anomalies associated with silicification and sinters
• Previous exploration in the 1990´s limited to referential rock sampling and 4 shallow drillholes
• High potential for concealed replacement-style gold-silver mineralization
• During 2007 preliminary surface exploration was completed by Alturas;
• Excellent road access
