- Mining investment & project pipeline 2019-2026 of US$22B in execution and US$31B in evaluation (Mining Council Report 2019)
- Chile is a mature, transparent and stable mining jurisdiction
- Highest ranked country in South America for investment attractiveness by Fraser Institute
- Combines mining potential and policy perception

Apollo Gold & Silver: One of the very few junior miners to acquire a meaningful position in this prolific trend
El Indio Gold Belt - Prolific Gold Trend
Location, Location, Location
- A fortuitous lapse in licensing provided the unique opportunity to acquire these claims, a number of which were previously held by Barrick Gold
- The Apollo/Sancarrón concessions are considered highly prospective for gold and silver deposits.
- Our claims encompass 5,329 hectares in the heart of the EL Indio Gold Belt surrounded by major mines and deposits.
- The Pascua-Lama mine (21 million ounces gold) is on trend just 35 kms to the north.
- The former El Indio gold-silver mine is on trend 30 kms to the south. It produced over 6.7 million ounces of gold / 51 million ounces of silver (1981-2001).
- The most recent discovery in the region is the Barrick owned Alturas mine (6.1 million ounces gold) just 30 kms south of the El Indio mine.
Claim Areas
- Consists of 5 exploration and 18 exploitation concessions
- 9 extensive zones of gold & silver bearing hydrothermal alteration (10.5 Kms²)
- Rock Grab samples: 2.1 g/t Au to 97.48 g/t Au & 46.4 g/t Ag to 158.8 g/t Ag*
- Mineralization / zones of alteration at Apollo bear strong similarities to nearby mines
- The Barrick-owned Alturas gold property (6.1 million ounces of gold) is a strong analog for Apollo
- Alturas is the most recent discovery in the Belt as of 2015
- The Apollo and Sancarrón claims are on strike with Alturas and include areas of alteration similar in nature / size on both
