El Mochito mine

El Mochito mine is an underground zinc and silver mine in Honduras that is owned by Ascendant Resources. The mine is located near the municipality of Las Vegas in northwest section Honduras. At approximately 88 km (55 mi) northeast of the mine, the closest major city is San Pedro Sula, which also acts as the commercial centre of the country.[1]

History

The deposit was discovered in 1938. The Rosario Mining Company purchased the property in 1943 and began production in 1948. American Pacific Mining Corporation purchased the property in September 1987, and in March 1990, Breakwater Resources acquired American Pacific and the mine.[1]

In August 2011, Nyrstar successfully completed its acquisition of Breakwater Resources.[2] On December 20, 2016 the mine was acquired by the Canadian firm Morumbi Resources, which renamed itself to Ascendant Resources effective December 21, 2016.[3]

gollark: Hmm, maybe you could get persistence out of CraftOS-PC somehow.
gollark: Well, it would mostly be a somewhat useless shiny toy™, but you could do cool things like remote into it from two devices at once, hook it up to ingame peripherals via some other interface and control it from the browser, or maybe even connect up HTTP listeners.
gollark: I was looking into having browser-based frontends for remotely hosted "cloud" CC VMs.
gollark: I think PotatOS for x86™ would be more useful. You could always run that in one of the in browser x86 VMs.
