Minera Alamos Inc. has commenced construction at its Santana gold mine in Sonora, Mexico. This marks a major step in the company’s transition from gold project developer to gold producer in 2020.
Minera intends to provide regular construction updates at key milestones during the estimated 6-8 month construction period and will be adding photos to the website to help illustrate the progress being made.

During January and February, the company, with the assistance of members of the local community, will begin to prepare the areas designated for the leach pads and holding ponds as well as initiate road construction within the planned mine area.
“We would like to recognize the collaboration of the local community and the Mexican authorities with our team which has allowed us to reach this significant milestone in a timely fashion. This year will be an exciting one as we build and commission our first gold mine and complete the transformation of the Minera Alamos into a new gold producer, ” said Darren Koningen, CEO of Minera Alamos.
