Exploration Expands in Sonora as Questcorp Mining Begins Phase 2 at La Union Project

Key Facts

2The mobilization aims to accelerate trenching and pilot-scale development following positive surface mineralization results.

The mining landscape in Sonora, Mexico, continues to see robust activity as regional players accelerate exploration and capital raising efforts. Questcorp Mining has initiated Phase 2 of its program at the La Union Project following significant gold discoveries at Luis Hill. Adding to the regional momentum, Sonoro Gold Corp announced plans to raise C$11 million through a private placement to fund its Mexican operations. These proceeds are earmarked for a massive two-phase, 50,000-metre drilling program at the Cerro Caliche gold project. This capital injection complements ongoing work by Tocvan Ventures, which recently deployed heavy machinery at its nearby Gran Pilar project. Collectively, these developments signal a major shift toward large-scale development and production across the Sonora mining district.
