Mineros S.A., a prominent gold producer in Latin America, has reported the successful commissioning of its new mobile mining and recovery plant, the Aurora Plant, at its Nechí Alluvial Property in Colombia. The plant’s construction, completed in the third quarter of 2025, involved a US$6.5 million investment.
The Aurora Plant is designed for high-precision operation. Advanced GPS and control systems ensure precise mining patterns, while optimized pressure and flow systems maximize gold recovery. The floating plant, measuring 61 meters long and 12 meters wide, boasts a unique sorting system. This system separates material by size using gravimetric concentration and dewatering, all without chemical reagents.
Further boosting efficiency, Mineros is also implementing a mobile scavenger plant project at Nechí. Phase I is slated for launch in late Q4 2025, followed by Phase II in early Q2 2026. Upon completion, this system is expected to increase recovery rates by up to 8% for each mobile mining and recovery plant.
David Londoño, President and CEO of Mineros, highlighted the project’s significance. He emphasized the company’s commitment to low-cost, low-risk projects with high returns. Londoño also underscored the initiative’s alignment with Mineros‘ sustainability goals and community engagement principles. He attributed the success to years of dedicated work, continuous innovation, and a commitment to shared prosperity.
Mineros, headquartered in Medellin, Colombia, operates mines in Colombia and Nicaragua. The company’s diverse portfolio also includes development and exploration projects across the region, including the La Pepa Project in Chile. Mineros has a long history of prioritizing safety and sustainability in all operations and maintains a track record of strong shareholder returns. Its common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: MSA) and the Colombia Stock Exchange (MINEROS: CB).
The company received an exemption from certain Toronto Stock Exchange voting requirements due to Colombian regulations governing director elections. More details are available in the company’s annual information form.
