In this episode, we chat with a returning guest who appeared in episode 106 in Dec 2020. Mark Brennan, CEO, and Co-Chairman of Cerrado Gold, a privately-owned Toronto-based growing precious metals mining and exploration company building a portfolio of assets in South America including Argentina and Brazil.
Mark gives us an update on Cerrado Gold and around their Minera Don Nicholas operating mine and an update on what’s been happening at their Monte do Carmo project.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Monte do Carmo, in Brazil is one of the highest-grade open-pit deposits in Latin America.
In just one year, despite CoVid, they have nearly doubled production at Mineiro Don Nicolas, in Argentina.
They are looking at expanding in Argentina by using heat leaching.
If they go underground as well, there is potential to eventually double production in Argentina.
Cerrado Gold went public in February 2021. Cash flow is excellent.
They have finished their restructuring and caught up from the CoVid delays.
There are a lot of incentives available in Argentina because the government wants to bring in US dollars.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘We´re generating 30 to 35 million of free cash. ´
‘It’s a big property with lots of potential, lots of growth.’
‘The infrastructure is amazing.’
