In this episode we chat to Jason Stirbinskis, MD of Los Cerros who is an ASX listed exploration and mining company who is a leading Colombian gold explorer and developer with a focus in the regions of the Mid-Cauca Gold belt.
Jason is a geologist by background and has an MBA and also happens to be the Honorary Consul of Kazakhstan in Western Australia. He has led and been involved in many projects across the world in Australia, Africa, Central Asia, and South America. Jason is on the podcast to give us a more in-depth understanding of the Los Cerros company, the projects they are involved in, their recent capital raising and what it is like to mine in Columbia.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Quinchia project is made up of many interesting targets which are at various stages of development.
Miraflores DFS reserve is a modest-scale production project with sound financials.
There are many more targets around Miraflores.
Tesorito is more advanced, with many 200+m long high-grade hits starting on the surface. Drilling there is intense, and the great results have continued.
Some of the new test holes around the edge of Tesorito have hit thirty-six meters at 3 grams per tonne.
They have recently raised A$20 million.
Los Cerros now has a dedicated target generation team that is working across their entire portfolio.
Testorito is currently their focus.
The risk profile of Columbia has improved considerably since the peace accord was signed to end the internal conflict.
Confidence levels in Colombia are high, which is why several large mining firms are now setting up there.
2022 is set to be an even bigger year than 2021 for Los Cerros´ projects.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘The more advanced projects have been the ones that have really driven the share price over the past 18 months. ´
‘We went from $7 million market capitalization early last year through to $90 million now.’
‘It's going to be just as exciting in 2022 as it was in 2021.’
