Batero Gold Corp.
Batero Gold Corp. is a Toronto-headquartered explorer 100% focused on the Batero-Quinchia gold project in Colombia's Mid Cauca gold belt, Department of Risaralda -- 1,407 hectares of tenements plus a further concession application. The company holds mineral resource estimates and a preliminary economic assessment for the La Cumbre deposit, prepared by Linares Americas Consulting S.A.C. (LINAMEC), but its technical disclosure history is unusually messy: a 2022 resource/PEA announcement was later retracted and clarified for non-compliance with NI 43-101 requirements, and an amended and restated technical report (effective date September 15, 2022, filed 2023) followed. Given that retraction history and inconsistent headline figures circulating across sources (roughly 570,000oz to over 2 million oz M&I depending on source/date), no ounces figure could be confidently confirmed against a single current, unambiguous primary filing this pass, so ouncesFound is left null; stage is set to RESOURCE_DEFINITION on the strength of a resource estimate existing, without asserting a specific tonnage/grade/ounces figure.
Notable vs. Peers
- Jurisdiction risk score of 5/10 is meaningfully riskier than the peer average of 7.8/10.
Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Two Colombian/Peruvian mining groups (Consorcio Minero Horizonte, Consorcio Minero Unido) took large strategic stakes in Batero over a decade ago, but neither appears anywhere in the company's current shareholder data, which instead shows a different individual as the largest holder -- these legacy stakes have clearly since been superseded. No insider buying or selling was found on record either.

La Cumbre deposit (Batero-Quinchia Gold Project, Risaralda, Colombia): current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource is Measured+Indicated 135,705,533 t at 0.503 g/t Au = 2,195,124 oz Au, effective 31 Dec 2021, per the amended technical report filed 15 Sep 2022 (minedocs.com/27/LA-Cumbre-PEA(Amended)-09152022.pdf) and the 6 Oct 2022 Mineral Resource Update / PEA announcement -- see ouncesFound citation. This supersedes the older 2018 LINAMEC estimate (573,200 oz M+I) previously on file here; the two figures are not in genuine conflict, the 2022 figure is simply more current (driven by the added Primary zone). Inferred is 12,005 oz (immaterial, excluded per convention).
