Corporate Profile

Yamiri Gold and Energy Inc. is a well-funded exploration and development company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol YGI.  The company is dedicated to the discovery and exploitation of precious metals and uranium in Argentina and neighbouring countries of South America. 

Yamiri’s logo is taken from an Incan textile design dated as being more than 1,000 years old and representing a young Andean Condor in a challenging airborne maneuver.  The Andean Condor is believed to be the world’s largest bird with a wingspan that can exceed 3.5 metres and a body weight greater than 12 kilograms.  This condor is also known for its extraordinary vision, ability to soar to great heights and has been known to travel hundreds of kilometres from its place of residence in search of food.  Unlike its North American relative, this condor is more opportunistic in that it feeds on both carrion and live prey.  In absence of predators, condors have been documented to live to greater than 80 years.  In short, it is a bird of great strength and dignity and held in great esteem by the indigenous peoples of the Andes.  The ancient population of the Andes considered the condor their messenger to the Gods, with whom they could communicate. It is these characteristics and strengths that inspireYamiri  in its quest to build a significant resource based company.

Supported by an experienced management team in Canada and Argentina, Yamiri’s core assets are located in the northwest Argentine province of La Rioja. The company’s seven, 100%-owned properties encompass some 100,000 hectares and range from early stage exploration to an advanced stage project with a defined resource.   Two of Yamiri’s projects are currently optioned to well-known North American mining companies (Barrick Gold and Tenke Mining) and both are expected to be drilled during calendar 2006.  

Core holdings include the Famatina precious metals property with an Inferred Resource of more than 2 million ounces of gold and the large Helvecia property located in the heart of one of Argentina’s best known uranium districts.  In addition, several of the company’s large precious metal targets are located adjacent to the southern extension of Chile’s prolifically endowed, Maricunga mineral belt.

Yamiri’s goal and focus is to aggressively advance its current portfolio of properties through a combination of joint-venture agreements and internally-managed exploration.  In addition, the company intends to expand its area of operations to other areas of Argentina and elsewhere in Latin America where the appropriate opportunities exist.
