The San Miguel project is located in Chihuahua, Mexico, and lies in the Temoris mining district; part of the prolific gold-silver belt of the Sierra Madre Occidental. The project area is just a few kilometers northwest of the town of Temoris and immediately east and north of the old village of Guazapares. It is accessible by vehicle and railway and has well-developed infrastructure with a recently constructed 33,000 volt power line. The Temoris mining district lies within a northwest trending belt of gold and silver deposits in the western portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Gold and silver mineralization in the project area occurs as quartz veins and breccias within the west-northwest- and north-northwest-striking faults.
The San Miguel project has been divided into four zones, each with different geology, and thus, with a different development strategy, including the San Antonio Zone, San Luis Mine Zone, Montecristo Zone, and San Miguel Zone.
