Projects
["The Bethania Silver Project, located in the high Andes of Central Peru and about 70 km (direct) southwest of the city of Huancayo, capital city of neighbouring Junín Department, consists of 12 mining concessions situated near the borders of the departments of Huancavelica, Lima and Junín. Collectively, the 12 concessions are referred to as the Bethania Silver Project (the “Project”) and the focus of the Report is on the Santa Elena mining concession (the “Property” or “Bethania”). The Santa Elena concession, on which the Bethania Silver Mine (“Bethania Mine”) is located, is in the northwestern part of Huancavelica Department, Province of Huancavelica, and District of Acobambilla. The Property is about 316 km by road from Peru’s capital city of Lima, but it is possible to fly from Lima to Jauja (Jauja is about 50 km or a one hour drive from Huancayo) and then drive southwest to the Property via Huancayo (about 4 hours). Historically known as Mina Santa Elena, the Bethania Mine operated intermittently from 1977 and was put on care and maintenance in 2016. The Bethania Mine and related infrastructure are centred at approximate UTM coordinates 442766mE, 8603236mN (PSAD56, UTM Zone 18 South; EPSG:24878) and at about 4,688 metres above sea level (“mASL”). The Santa Elena concession was originally registered in 1970 to cover artisanal and colonial-era pits and workings known at the time. This concession, covering 45 hectares (1.5 km x 300 m), is owned 100% by Kuya. All mineralization that is the focus of the Report, is located within the Santa Elena concession (11020736X01). With respect to the other 11 concessions, the Chinita I concession is registered to Kuya’s wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary S&L Andes Export S.A.C. (now Minera Toro de Plata S.A.C.), the Tres Banderas 01 to 07 are registered to Kuya’s wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary Aerecura Materiales S.A.C. (“Aerecura”) (now Kuya Silver S.A.C.), and Carmelita 2005, Carmelita 2005 I, and Carmelita 205 II were purchased by Kuya Silver S.A.C. in May 2021, but are shown registered to Carmelita 2005, Carmelita 2005 I, and Carmelita 2005 II, respectively. The 12 concessions that comprise the entire Project cover about 5,316 ha and annual holding costs are about US$16,000. The Company is permitted to undertake exploration work on all concessions."]
