Salazar Resources has a partnership with Silvercorp Metals on the Curipamba project. Silvercorp Metals holds a 75% interest in Curimining, a stake earned through its predecessor, Adventus Mining, by meeting key investment and feasibility milestones. Under the terms of the agreement, Salazar Resources retains a carried 25% ownership in the project, extending through to production. The feasibility study was completed in 2021 and El Domo is now fully permitted and progressing with detailed engineering and other preparatory studies, with construction slated to begin in 2025.

In addition, Salazar Resources has an Ecuador-wide Exploration Alliance with Adventus Mining that was originally designed to incorporate zinc targets but, at Salazar Resources’ discretion, it can incorporate projects with other metals.

Projects within the Exploration Alliance are fully carried on a 20% stake all the way to a construction decision, and the alliance currently includes two projects called Pijili and Santiago. Both project areas host copper-gold porphyry exploration targets, in conjunction with epithermal gold and silver veins.
