Overview
Mexico has been a sizzling spot for gold manufacturing for over 500 years. House to prolific mining districts like Sonora, Chihuahua and Durango, the North American nation is seeing a revitalization of gold and silver exploration, because the nation leverages its favorable mining jurisdiction standing.
The Mexican state of Oaxaca gives a novel geological profile containing distinctive valuable metallic discovery potential. Significantly much less explored than northern states, a number of established corporations like Gold Useful resource Company and Fortuna Silver Mines are energetic within the area together with working gold-silver mines. Mixing world-class deposits and excessive mineral discovery potential, Oaxaca gives super rewards for explorers.
Inomin Mines Inc. (TSXV: MINE) is a mineral exploration firm centered on figuring out, buying and creating high-quality mineral properties within the Americas. The corporate presently owns and operates a portfolio of advanced-stage gold-silver and nickel initiatives in Oaxaca, Mexico and British Columbia, Canada which provide robust potential for important development.
As an rising participant within the valuable and base metallic area, Inomin presents an early-stage, high-growth alternative given the corporate’s belongings and comparatively low market capitalization. Inomin expects the corporate’s shareholder worth to extend significantly as its mineral properties’ are superior and additional complementary mission acquisitions are made.
In March 2021, the corporate introduced the closing of the acquisition of its flagship La Gitana gold-silver mission, in addition to the close by Pena Blanca gold-silver property in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Drilling on the La Gitana gold-silver property.
“La Gitana and Pena Blanca present us with two extremely potential gold-silver properties in a prolific mineral belt. We sit up for finishing drilling to delineate sources at La Gitana and broaden the mineral footprint. Pena Blanca is a big, gold-silver mineral system with a number of exploration targets. We count on these transformational acquisitions and our future exploration work will create important worth for all stakeholders,” commented Inomin Mines president & CEO John Gomez.
The corporate’s two nickel initiatives in British Columbia are the extremely potential Beaver and Lynx properties. Collectively they whole roughly 20,000 hectares and are ideally positioned close to the world-class Gibraltar mine. Inomin’s strategic, giant property place on this extremely mineralized, infrastructure-rich area, are robust attributes for these initiatives.
Beaver and Lynx host potential for multi-billion, bulk-tonnage, sulfide nickel deposits with cobalt. Preliminary drilling at Beaver and metallurgy research have returned optimistic outcomes. The corporate intends to advance these properties and appeal to a bigger accomplice to develop these belongings.
By the acquisition of recent engaging properties and the development of initiatives, Inomin is positioned to create important worth for shareholders and collaborating communities.

Inomin Mines’ Key Initiatives
La Gitana Gold-Silver Undertaking
Inomin’s flagship La Gitana gold-silver mission is located within the Oaxaca Gold-Silver Belt, a prolific mineral development that hosts a number of working mines and prospects, together with Gold Useful resource’s (NYSE: GORO) Arista and Mirador gold-silver mines, and Fortuna Silver’s (TSX: FVI) San Jose gold-silver mine. Preliminary drilling at La Gitana accomplished by previous joint property homeowners Chesapeake Gold and Goldcorp (now Newmont) confirmed the invention of great epithermal gold-silver mineralization.
The Oaxaca Gold-Silver Belt lengthen over 100 km and incorporates quite a few prospects, deposits and mines.
Drilling confirmed La Gitana discovery – a “mountain of gold and silver”.
A 38 gap diamond drilling program on the important Cerro Di Oro zone confirmed near-surface gold and silver mineralization in a zone 400 – 500 meters lengthy, 50 to 150 meters deep with grades starting from 0.25 to 27.8g/t gold and 5.0 to 2,330g/t silver. The gold-silver system stays open to growth.
Subsequent deliberate exploration at La Gitana entails lab evaluation of chosen drill core samples, airborne magnetic survey, and drilling. After this exploration program, the corporate expects to finish a preliminary useful resource calculation.
Pena Blanca Gold-Silver Undertaking
Prospecting at Pena Blanca.
The Pena Blanca property, located simply 15 kms from La Gitana, hosts comparable geology with an excellent bigger mineral footprint. Exploration at Pena Blanca has found widespread gold and silver mineralization on floor related to an intensive space of hydrothermal alteration and mineralized buildings. Inomin owns a 100% curiosity within the Pena Blanca mission.
Preliminary exploration has recognized gold-bearing, hydrothermal alteration over roughly 9 sq. kilometers, of which just one space has been systematically mapped and sampled. Pena Blanca’s earlier operator, Chesapeake Gold Corp. (TSX.V:CKG), reported sediment anomalies ranging between 276 ppb to 2,200 ppb gold throughout a 2.5 kilometer by 3.5-kilometer space surrounding the Pena Blanca ridge. Extra exploration highlights returned 2.26g/t gold and 178g/t silver grades from a 23.5-meter-long trench.
Pena Blanca consists of quite a few potential mineralized zones marked by stream sediment and soil and rock chip anomalies. The type of alteration and mineralization at Pena Blanca signifies robust proof of a big, epithermal gold-silver mineral system.
Beaver Nickel-Cobalt Undertaking
The Beaver property spans 7,528 hectares and is located in south-central British Columbia, 15 kilometers east of the Gibraltar Mine, the second-largest open-pit copper mine in Canada. Along with its favorable location, the nickel-rich property has the benefit of wonderful infrastructure similar to hydro-electricity and roads to entry all elements of the property. Inomin owns a 100% curiosity within the property, presenting a beautiful partnership alternative.
Preliminary exploration and metallurgical research at Beaver, together with geophysical surveys and diamond drilling packages throughout 2013 – 2014, demonstrated the property’s potential to include giant areas of near-surface, disseminated nickel and cobalt, amenable to standard extraction strategies. Moreover, because the mineral internet hosting rocks break down fairly readily, various low-cost restoration strategies similar to heap leaching could also be attainable.
In 2021 floor magnetic surveys and drilling is deliberate to proceed to check giant areas for nickel mineralization.
Lynx Nickel Undertaking
The 12,662-hectare Lynx property is located roughly 12 kilometers south of the Beaver mission. Much like the Beaver property, Lynx hosts a number of giant areas potential for nickel and cobalt. These targets have the potential for internet hosting bulk-tonnage nickel deposits. Inomin owns a 100% curiosity within the property.
The Lynx property is inside the Cache Creek Terrane surrounded by higher Triassic-aged rocks of the Quesnel Terrane. Regional Stream Sediment (RGS) information, collected by province of British Columbia geologists, recognized a ten by five-kilometer nickel anomaly with rock samples grading as much as 0.27% nickel. These findings level to the.property’s potential to host widespread, nickel mineralization. Along with the Beaver mission, the area has the potential to become a significant nickel-cobalt mining district.
