Hey everyone,
Just read this article over on mining.com: Cerro de Pasco gains access to entire Quiulacocha tailings area, shares soar. This is pretty interesting news! I’ve been keeping an eye on resource plays, especially with the talk of inflation and the general market volatility. My portfolio's actually pretty heavy in some precious metals right now, partly to balance out some of my tech holdings which feel a bit stretched. I was just looking at this Gold IRA Blueprint tool the other day, actually, comparing gold's performance to stocks over the last decade, and it really reinforces my conviction in having some physical assets. Seeing a company like Cerro de Pasco make moves like this, getting access to such a significant tailings area, certainly piques my interest as a potential long-term play, especially with drilling starting soon.
My initial thought is that this could be a huge value add if the assays come back strong. Tailings projects have become increasingly attractive as primary deposits get harder to find and develop. The environmental hurdles can be substantial, but if they've already secured access and permits for drilling, that's a big de-risking factor in my book. I'm always looking for companies that are adding proven resources or have clear pathways to expanding their reserves, especially when it's for metals with sustained demand. For my retirement goals, I'm trying to find those opportunities that can really grow over the next 5-10 years without being overly speculative, and something like this, with existing infrastructure and a clear plan to explore, seems to fit the bill.
What are your thoughts on this? Anyone here follow Cerro de Pasco specifically, or have any experience with tailings re-processing projects? Always keen to hear what the community thinks about these kinds of developments!
