What is it about?
The Padre Antonio Project is located in western Guatemala, specifically, east of the village of Santa Eulalia in the Huehuetenango Department. The Padre Antonio Project was discovered by an Italian immigrant turned prospector after he organized a stream sediment sampling of the Tziquiná river that crosses the area. Near the highest copper value samples, located almost at the centre of the license, Mr. Bruno Montuori then organized the digging of a 7 meters pit that found massive chalcopyrite and abundant secondary copper minerals.
