Location of the Peñasquito Project
The Peñasquito project is an open pit mine hosting one of the world’s largest silver, gold, zinc and lead reserves. It is located in State of Zacatecas, Mexico and is 17 miles west of the town of Concepción del Oro
 
History of the Peñasquito Project
In 1998 Western Silver acquired the entire Peñasquito property from Kennecott. Glamis Gold Inc. acquired Western Silver on May 3, 2006. Goldcorp acquired Glamis in November 2006. Since 2002, all three companies have undertaken a continuous series of drilling campaigns on the property. The first gold was poured from the oxide circuit in May 2008 and mill start-up is scheduled for 2009.
 
Geology of the Peñasquito Project
The ore minerals in both deposits consist of sphalerite, galena, argentite and minor chalcopyrite and pyrite. These ore minerals contain the gold, silver, lead and zinc that will be produced.
