Golden Queen Mining Consolidated is a mineral exploration and production company focused on the acquisition, development and operation of precious metal assets in North America. The company’s flagship Soledad Mountain Project, located near Ridgecrest in Kern County, California, is an open-pit, heap-leach operation designed to extract gold and silver from oxide ores. Golden Queen holds a 100% interest in the project and operates a 54,000-ton-per-day processing facility that combines conventional crushing, stacking and cyanide leaching to recover precious metals.
In addition to its California operations, Golden Queen evaluates exploration targets in supportive jurisdictions and pursues strategic acquisitions to complement its existing project pipeline. The company maintains an office in Calabasas, California, and works with environmental and regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with state and federal mining regulations. Through partnerships with local contractors and service providers, Golden Queen supports regional employment and contributes to community development initiatives in the Mojave Desert area.
Tracing its origins to a spin-out of pre-existing exploration assets, Golden Queen has transitioned from early-stage exploration to commercial production. The company completed a feasibility study in 2014 and commenced construction of the Soledad Mountain Project in 2018, ramping up to production in subsequent years. Led by President and CEO Vic D’Ambrosio, Golden Queen’s board and management team bring technical expertise in metallurgy, mining engineering and finance, with a shared focus on sustainable operations, cost management and disciplined growth in the precious metals sector.
