About Mining in Mexico

Mexico is among the top 20 most attractive regions in the world for exploration and mining, according to results of a recent survey conducted by The Fraser Institute, an independent Canadian research organization. The country’s appeal to mining companies stems from a combination of factors including a strong mining culture, excellent geology, political stability and favorable tax and permitting structures. Under the country’s foreign-ownership laws, non-Mexican companies can maintain 100% ownership of their properties and reap the full benefits of successful exploration. In this welcoming climate, the recent strength of the gold price combined with Mexico’s abundance of gold deposits has fostered significant new investment. Several mines, including Alamos Gold’s Mulatos operation in Sonora, are expected to result from this latest rush to the region.
