Mercator Gold
Mercator Gold plc is a diversified mining investment company with quality assets and the capability to undertake significant, value accretive transactions. Mercator is dedicated to creating value for its shareholders through a process of finding value, adding value and realising value. In order to achieve this, Mercator is able to access a pipeline of projects sourced from its global network and utilises the expertise of its directors and advisers.
Mercator holds an exclusive option over the Copper Flat project, a porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold-silver deposit in the Las Animas mining district of New Mexico, United States and a former producing mine. It is believed that the Copper Flat project, which has significant infrastructure in place, could be brought back into production within a relatively short timeframe for a relatively low capital outlay.
