Gran Colombia: Getting bigger in Colombia and Guyana
Gran Colombia Gold (GCM.T) is going big, Executive Chairman Serafino Iacono told me over the phone. “We mine gold in Colombia, but our operations have expanded. As well as gold in Colombia, we are recovering silver, and will have a new plant coming online which will process our tailings and extract lead and zinc as well. Then we have acquired the Toroparu gold and copper property in Guyana, which has almost 11 million ounces of gold and significant copper. So now we are adding diversification with polymetallic and multi-jurisdictional.”
Lucky Minerals: Too Much Geology in Ecuador
“We have too much geology for our geologists,” Francois Perron, CEO of Lucky Minerals (LKY.V) told me in a telephone interview. It is a problem many junior exploration companies would like to have.

Eloro’s Iska Iska: Ready for News in Bolivia
Just over a year ago when I first spoke to Tom Larsen about Eloro’s (ELO.V) Iska Iska project in Bolivia he told me, “We’re looking to find 100 million plus tons.”
Stratabound Minerals: “How do we mine this?
Typically, an exploration company will hire an exploration geologist to run a greenfields program on prospective ground. This makes a lot of sense as exploration geologists serve what amounts to an apprenticeship learning how best to evaluate and de-risk a piece of ground. Stratabound Minerals (V.SB) went in another direction: their President and CEO, Kim Tyler has a wealth of experience as an “operating geologist”.
