Following the success at the Las Lajitas and the Vieja Pozo operations, 3P Minerals took over an existing copper project in Palmero, 8km from Las Lajitas towards Salta central. With copper deposits already rare at the site, 3P Minerals focussed their attention on Gold and Silver extraction.
Palermo is now a solely-owned site and produces 23 thousand tonnes between Silver and Gold per annum.
