San Simon Project Overview

San Simon is located 450 km north of Santa Cruz, Bolivia and 20 km from the border between Bolivia and Brazil. The project lies in the same belt of rocks that hosts the 1.6 million ounce Saõ Francisco (Yamana Gold) gold deposit in Brazil.

The San Simon Plateau has been mined since gold was first discovered there in the mid 18th Century by Jesuit monks who called the plateau Cerro del Oro (Gold Plateau).

The most active period of mining occurred in the 1990’s when the San Simon village had over 1,000 inhabitants and produced an estimated 75,000 oz of gold.

Access to the Plateau is two hours from by air (450 km) from Santa Cruz to Eaglecrest's two airstrips near the Company’s camp on the San Simon Project. Road access is 20 to 36 hours from Santa Cruz.
