About Amerigo Resources

Amerigo Resources Ltd. is a Canadian mining company focused on the production of copper and molybdenum. Through its Chilean subsidiary, Minera Valle Central (MVC), the company recovers these metals from fresh and historical tailings generated by Codelco’s El Teniente underground copper mine.

MVC operates near Rancagua, in Chile’s O’Higgins Region, and uses mineral-processing facilities to reprocess tailings and extract additional copper and molybdenum. This approach allows Amerigo to produce metals from previously mined material rather than operating a conventional greenfield mine.

Amerigo acquired its interest in MVC in 2003 and has expanded and improved the operation over time.
