Andy Millette interviews Kenneth MacLeod, President & CEO of Sonoro Gold Corp., about the company’s expanded Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico, its ongoing 50,000-metre drilling campaign, and the work required to advance a proposed open-pit heap-leach operation through permitting.
MacLeod explains how drilling identified mineralization in areas previously modeled as waste and how that information may affect the next resource estimate and mine plan. The conversation examines connecting existing pit shells, potentially improving the strip ratio, and using future mine cash flow to support exploration.
The interview also covers Sonoro’s expanded concession position. Since January 2026, the company reports that Cerro Caliche grew from 1,350 hectares to 8,215 hectares, plus a 51 percent interest in another 454 hectares. MacLeod discusses historical exploration data and additional drilling targets.
Sonoro’s updated 2026 preliminary economic assessment outlines a potential ten-year, 16,000-tonne-per-day open-pit heap-leach operation. MacLeod discusses environmental engineering, SEMARNAT, expected assay news, and the milestones investors should watch.
Disclosure: Sonoro Gold Corp. is a sponsor of NaturalResourceStocks.net. Andy states in the interview that he is an investor, participated in a financing, and owns warrants in the company.
