What is it about?
Besides the known placers in the river, the Rionegro project has the potential for paleo placers associated to a Jurassic marine basin in the area, as well as gold associated with a sequence of Tertiary conglomerates. There is also the potential for a Carlin-type of mineralization in the bituminous-rich limestones, and gold associated with tonalite intrusives.
