La Mesa Project
A gold and silver project in the Sierra Madre Occidental.
The La Mesa mining unit is located in the municipality of Pueblo Nuevo, Durango. It is an underground gold and silver mine with a leaching plant designed for 250 tonnes per day, which will produce precipitate and doré.
The project is in its development stage and the processing plant is under construction. The site is reached by unpaved roads, and there is a light-aircraft airstrip in the area.
