Pasto Grande represents a strategic mining opportunity in southern Peru. The project covers approximately 11,000 hectares and is located in Puno, near the border with Bolivia, within a corridor with significant geological potential.

The area shows indications and presence of minerals such as gold, silver, lithium, lead, zinc and rare earth elements. Pasto Grande Group is conducting exploration studies and fieldwork aimed at progressively evaluating the potential of its mining concessions.

Exploration and Development of Mining Potential

Exploration is a fundamental stage for determining more precisely the characteristics and potential of mineral resources. The work includes technical studies, sampling and diamond drilling, with analyses conducted by accredited laboratories such as Certimin.

“Mining must generate value beyond the extraction of minerals. It must become a platform for investment, business development and opportunities for the regions where it operates.”
— Iván Orellana

Responsible Development and Commitment to Communities

The development of Pasto Grande follows a long-term vision based on responsible exploration, regulatory compliance and a constructive relationship with the communities in its area of influence.

Pasto Grande Group is developing this process with the understanding that the growth of a mining project must advance alongside respect for the environment, dialogue with communities and the creation of opportunities for local development.

Pasto Grande is located in a strategic area of southern Peru, where geological potential and the presence of minerals such as gold, silver, lithium and rare earth elements create opportunities for the development of new mining projects.

In this context, Peru has the conditions to strengthen its position as a reliable supplier and strategic partner for international markets, while promoting investment, business development and new opportunities for its regions.

Investment, Production and Development

From this perspective, private investment plays a fundamental role. Capital, combined with technical expertise and management capabilities, makes it possible to transform mineral resources into productive projects capable of generating employment, exports and economic activity.

Iván Orellana’s business vision is based on a clear premise: the development of Peru’s mining industry must advance alongside formalization, responsible investment and the creation of sustainable value.

An Opportunity for Future Generations

Peru’s mining potential represents an opportunity that extends beyond any particular economic cycle. Managed responsibly, it can become one of the engines contributing to economic growth and regional development over the coming decades.

The challenge is to build solid, responsible and competitive projects that allow the country to continue strengthening its position as a relevant player in the international mining industry.
