Utilizing state-of-the-art mining technology and readily available skilled labor, Tao’s goal is to create value through the low-cost acquisition and exploration of hard rock gold projects in Colombia that have the potential to produce consistent cash flow and attain rapid profitability from current operations. The company has a pipeline of projects that will ensure strong revenue streams over the next several years.
