Company - Trendix Mining

TRENDIX MINING is a “junior” company oriented to the detection of areas with great mining potential within the Argentine territory. It stands out by its deep knowledge of the local legal procedures for the consolidation of properties and its great capacity to develop the initial exploration applying geologic, geochemical and geophysical methods that allow to establish the existence of economic resources in the different projects.
‍
Once identified the area with mining potential, Trendix Mining has the modality to establish alliances with investing groups or mining operators, by means of exploration contracts with purchase option, joint venture, partial or total sale of the properties, etc. In that sense during the last years we were associated with several important companies like Sunshine Mining (USA); Oro Belle Resources (USA); Palladon Ventures Ltd. (Canada); Golden Oil Corp (Korea) and more recently with Dark Horse Resources ( Australia) and Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp. (Canada).

The evolution of Trendix Mining allows to infer a progressive positioning in the main Argentine mining provinces. At the moment it counts approximately with 200,000 hectares distributed in the provinces of Rio Negro, Salta, San Juan y La Rioja.

Likewise was discovered the first Indium mineralization in Patagonia (La Luz Project), an extensive and developed low sulfidation gold system (Cerro Choique Project) and the first Intrusion Related Gold Deposit in this southern region of Argentina (San Patricio Project).

Company
history

In the year 2000 Trendix Mining begins to operate in Argentina as a company created to explore mining resources and to reach the discovery of metallic deposits and others linked to energy usage.

Trendix Mining has been founded by geologists of national and international recognized trajectory. One of its partners was the discoverer of the epithermal vein deposit of Cordón de Esquel (4 Moz gold) in Chubut province, with the discoverer of Natasha mine. Another one of its partners discovered the epithermal low sulfidation deposit (hot spring type) known as Cerro Choique in Río Negro province, which gave place to the consequent exploratory development called Los Menucos District, in Somuncura Massif.

Trendix Mining also discovers the second perlite deposit of Argentina with industrial dimensions, located in Pilcaniyeu volcanic belt, about sixty kilometers to the east of San Carlos de Bariloche.
During the period 2004-2008, Trendix Mining obtains the concession of a great part of Ñirihuau coal basin that contains the unique “coking coal” deposit of Argentina, through their subsidiary for energy resources DYNLUX SA. At the moment the company carries out exploration works in the area.

During 2006, Trendix Mining found Indium in their La Luz Project (Rio Negro province), being this one, the first news of presence of this valuable metal in Patagonia.

Since 2012 the company owns the Tolillar Project, a deposit of lithium and other alkaline salts, located very close at the Hombre Muerto Salar in Salta province.

Since 2013, the company form its Industrial Rock Division and with that purpose has started the production and commercialization of diatomites. Trendix Mining hold mineral deposits in Ing.
