Aftermath Silver is uniquely positioned at the intersection of the precious metals and critical metals markets, contributing to both traditional industrial applications and the rapidly growing clean energy sector.
Flagship Project: Berenguela Silver-Copper-Manganese Deposit
Aftermath Silver's flagship asset is the Berenguela Project, located in southern Peru. This polymetallic deposit is one of the world's few high-grade resources that combine significant quantities of silver, copper, and manganese. The project has a defined mineral resource estimate across measured, indicated, and inferred categories, with manganese accounting for a substantial portion of the resource value. Manganese, a critical metal for battery technology, positions the project as a strategic asset in the clean energy transition.
The ongoing Phase 2 drilling program at Berenguela has demonstrated promising results, including high-grade silver and copper intercepts, as well as the production of battery-grade manganese sulfate monohydrate (HPMSM) during metallurgical testing. These advancements underscore the project's potential to produce multiple high-value products, including silver bullion, copper concentrates, and battery-grade manganese.
Other Projects
In addition to Berenguela, Aftermath Silver owns 100% interests in the Challacollo Silver-Gold Project and the Cachinal Silver-Gold Project, both located in Chile. These projects add diversification to the company's portfolio and provide additional growth opportunities through exploration and resource development.
