The Arapiccos Project, launched in 2022, is Mitchall Mines & Minerals Ltd's first international operation and a landmark gold development in Ecuador’s Morona-Santiago Province. The site is situated in a high-potential gold belt and benefits from favourable geological characteristics and early-stage infrastructure investment.

Arapiccos has quickly become a cornerstone of the company’s South American expansion, combining efficient open-pit mining techniques with community-based sustainability programs. With strong production output and robust reserves, the project underscores Mitchall Mines’ commitment to operating responsibly in emerging markets.
