  • Disappointments in past investments led him to take a different approach by running mining operations himself.
  • Rebranded & restructured LUCA to ensure a solid foundation for future growth.
 
Investment Strategy and Market Challenges
  • Importance of having diversified producing assets, permits in place, and avoiding capex risk.
  • Global resource of nearly 3 million ounces of gold equivalent in Mexico
  • Combined annual gold equivalent production is ~80k oz
  • Struggles in the natural resource space and the need for a company to stand out by avoiding common pitfalls like capex overruns and failing to secure permits.
 
Operational Achievements and Future Plans
  • Two producing assets with long mine lives
  • Campo Morado: Capacity exceeds 2,000 t/d, current optimization work has shown promise for improving profitability
  • Tahuehueto: Higher-margin mine on track to reach a throughput of 1,000t/d by late 2024
  • Currently aiming to increase production and optimize operations.
  • Commitment to maintaining low dilution and high investor protection thus focus approach on financing the company at higher prices without warrants, showing a strong commitment to shareholder value.
  • Significant projected revenue growth with expectations of $150 million in 2024 and $250 million in 2025 as LUCA brings its second asset into commercial production.
