The Volcan Gold Project (“Volcan”) is development-stage gold project that was acquired by Hochschild in 2012 through the acquisition of Andina Minerals. Following the acquisition, Hochschild undertook a substantial program to relog drill core and update the geological model for Dorado West, the main deposit at Volcan. Subsequently, additional metallurgical test work was undertaken and a preliminary geo-metallurgical model was developed.
In 2022, Tiernan Gold is focused on re-establishing operations in the nearby town of Copiapó, updating the mineral resource estimate and exploring ways of optimising the project development plan which are expected to be outlined in a new technical report.
