The Coneto Project is a joint venture, with ownership of 55/45% between Fresnillo and Orex. The mineral concessions of both parties in the Coneto Mining District have recently been combined into a company named “Exploraciones y Desarrollos Mineros Coneto S.A.P.I. de C.V.”, in order to advance the project. A Technical Committee, with membership from both companies, guides the exploration programs.
