San
Simon Project
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 ever 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.
