About Oroco Resource Corp
Oroco Resource Corp holds an impressive 85.5% interest in the central concessions known as the Core Concessions of The Santo Tomas Project. This area spans a significant 1,173 hectares in northwestern Mexico, and includes an 80% interest in an additional 7,861 hectares of mineral concessions. Overall, the project covers an extensive area of 9,034 hectares or 22,324 acres.
Geographic Significance
The Santo Tomas Project is strategically located close to major infrastructure, including its proximity to a deep-water port at Topolobampo, which is approximately 170 km away. Access to the property is facilitated by highways and rail lines that connect to key cities such as Los Mochis and Choix. Additionally, a 32 km access road, originally established for Goldcorp’s El Sauzal Mine, helps bolster logistical support for Oroco's operations.
Exploration and Development History
Historical exploration efforts at the Santo Tomas Project shine a spotlight on its potential. Prior drilling campaigns from 1968 to 1994 tested the area extensively—over 100 diamond and reverse circulation drill holes were completed, amounting to about 30,000 meters of drilling. In 2021, Oroco launched its own exploration program, completing Phase 1 of drilling with a total of 48,481 meters completed across 76 diamond drill holes, enhancing the resource understanding of the project.
Recent Developments
The recently completed drilling work led to a revised mineral resource estimate (MRE) and an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) that was published in August 2024. These studies further solidify the project's viability in the eyes of investors and stakeholders, reflecting Oroco's commitment to advancing the Santo Tomas Project.
