The Caldera project is located in the Huasco Province within the Atacama Region of Chile approximately 120km NE of the city of La Serena and 250km North of the city of Santiago. The property is situated in the mineral-rich Chilean Andes Mountains, home to some of the worlds largest copper resources including the Escondida, Collahuasi, and Quebrada Blanca mines.

Today, there is evidence of recent artisanal small-scale underground gold mining in the area.
