How it started the adventure

10 years ago I was invited by a friend who was enthusiastic about a mining project in the state of Querétaro, unfortunately the project is located within the Biosphere Reserve in the Sierra Gorda of the State of Querétaro where it is not possible to develop mining projects large scale for environmental reasons. However, I had the opportunity to meet several miners with artisanal operations of mere survival. With the intention of helping them, I began to seek advice and support in various places, that is how I met several experts who in other ways provided help with their knowledge. 

I began to make synergy with professionals to form the work team that we represent today.

The knowledge of decades of exploration by expert geologists allowed me to discover more places where history was repeated, small miners (some with very rich deposits) trying to survive with tiny operations in precarious conditions without any support, despite the enormous potential that they had. some have.

It is almost incredible to see a miner working with a hammer and chisel in a mining work with an average grade greater than 20 grams of gold per ton, where the miner extracts by selecting the mineral about 30-40 kg of ore with 40 grams of recovered gold, using amalgamation with mercury, more than one gram of gold per kg of selected mineral. 

It will be due to lack of experience in the business world, lack of infrastructure, mistrust, insecurity, etc. But many miners with enormous experience in the knowledge of local minerals only need a little support to develop their mining works in a highly profitable way. 

This is where the ROCA Mining team of experts comes in to form that link between small miners and investors who are interested in entering the world of mining, relying on the experience and knowledge of a group of experts.
