Soltera Mining Corp. is a unique exploration company in the sense that it is following two distinct lines of action. The first is conventional, with exploration concentrated on two carefully selected gold and base metal projects in Argentina, particularly the large-scale El Torno gold project in Jujuy. The second, less conventional action is to finance immediate small-scale gold production from a specific section of the 14 km gold-quartz vein at El Torno. Portfolio Highlights: - Major gold exploration project at El Torno in Argentina with large-scale potential for both underground and open-pit mining.
- Near-term small-scale gold production from weathered section of the main gold-quartz vein at El Torno.
- Eureka copper-gold project in Argentina, joint ventured with TNR Gold Corp. with previous (non-43-101 compliant) resource estimates of 50-60 Mt at 1% Cu.
All exploration projects are run personally by Soltera’s CEO/President, economic geologist, Dr. Fabio Montanari. Living near the projects in Argentina Dr. Montanari has a hands-on approach to operations. Flagship Project - El Torno  The El Torno property contains a large near-surface gold-quartz vein up to 14 km long that was historically worked in turn by the Incas, Jesuits and Spanish who left behind more than 1,000 m of underground galleries. The vein extends north-south, is sub-vertical, and is accompanied in places by a stockwork system of small quartz and pyrite veins that can extend up to 300 m from the main vein.
