Golden Minerals Company is a Colorado-based precious metals exploration and development firm focused on the discovery, acquisition, and operation of gold and silver properties in Latin America. The company’s core activities encompass underground and open-pit mining operations, heap-leach processing, resource delineation drilling, and feasibility studies aimed at advancing projects from exploration through production. Golden Minerals seeks to leverage low-cost, scalable technologies to maximize recovery of oxide and transitional ore bodies.
The company’s flagship asset is the Rodeo gold-silver mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, where heap leaching and carbon adsorption processes are employed to extract precious metals from oxide material. In addition to this near-term producer, Golden Minerals holds the Velardeña portfolio in Durango, Mexico, which hosts high-grade silver-lead-zinc veins and has seen significant underground development and bulk sampling. Beyond these advanced projects, the company maintains a diversified exploration pipeline in Argentina and Mexico, targeting epithermal and carbonate replacement systems through regional geochemical surveys and drilling campaigns.
Established in the mid-1990s, Golden Minerals has grown through a combination of grassroots exploration successes and strategic acquisitions. Over the years, the company has published multiple resource estimates and engineering studies, and has entered joint ventures with industry partners to share technical expertise and capital requirements. Its listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker AUMN has provided access to international equity markets, enabling the firm to fund project development and expand its operational footprint across key mining districts.
Golden Minerals is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Silva, who brings more than three decades of hands-on experience in mining operations, project development, and corporate management in Latin America. He is supported by a management team with deep expertise in geology, metallurgy, engineering, and finance, as well as a board of directors composed of mining industry veterans. Together, they guide the company’s strategy to advance high-value projects, uphold rigorous environmental and social standards, and create sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
