About the Company
Astra Exploration Inc. is a precious metals exploration company based out of Vancouver, BC that
is actively building a portfolio of high -quality projects in some of the most important mining
jurisdictions in Latin America.
The La Manchuria gold -silver project in Santa Cruz, Argentina , over which Astra has an
option to acquire 90% interest from the owner , Patagonia Gold Corp, is a high -grade gold and
silver low sulphidation epithermal (LSE) deposit located in the prolific Deseado Massif which hosts
multiple world-class LSE precious metals deposits including Cerro Vanguardia and Cerro Negro,
Santa Cruz, Argentina.
The 100% owned Pampa Paciencia gold and silver project in northern Chile is located in the
Paleocene mineral province in proximity to such major operating mines as Spence and Sierra
Gorda. The project shares several important geological similarities to other Paleocene LSE gold-
silver deposits including Faride and El Peñón.
The 100% owned Cerro Bayo project in northern Chile is located in the Maricunga belt
approximately 20 km from the Refugio Mine. The project hosts a high sulphidation epithermal
(HSE) +/- porphyry gold system with similarities to the Salares Norte deposit to the north in the
same belt. The Maricunga belt is one of the most en dowed regions in the world for gold and
copper deposits.
