Pinaya is located along the southeastern end of the “Andahuaylas-Yauri Belt” an emerging and highly prospective gold-copper-moly belt that stretches over 300km throughout Southern Peru. This belt is home to some of the richest metal deposits in Latin America including: Norsemont’s Constancia project, Aruntani SAC’s Rescatada project, and Xstarta’s giant Las Bambas copper-gold project.
