Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Cerro de Pasco Resources Inc. is a Canada-based mineral development company focused on the reprocessing and redevelopment of legacy mining assets in Peru, with an emphasis on environmental remediation combined with metals recovery. The company operates in the mining and metals sector, specifically targeting polymetallic resources including silver, zinc, and lead. Cerro de Pasco Resources is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol CDPR.V and is positioned as a junior resource company in the development stage rather than a current producer.
The company’s primary asset is the El Metalurgista mining concession, which encompasses the Quiulacocha tailings storage facility adjacent to the historic Cerro de Pasco open pit. Its strategic focus is on extracting value from large-scale surface tailings generated by more than a century of mining activity, while also addressing environmental liabilities. Cerro de Pasco Resources was incorporated in 2017 and evolved from an early-stage exploration company into a tailings reprocessing and redevelopment-focused entity following the acquisition of the El Metalurgista concession in Peru.
Business Operations
Cerro de Pasco Resources’ core business revolves around the development of its flagship El Metalurgista Project, which includes the Quiulacocha tailings deposit. The company’s operations are centered on metallurgical testing, resource definition, engineering studies, and environmental assessments aimed at supporting a future reprocessing operation. As of the latest publicly available disclosures, the company does not generate operating revenue and remains in the project development and permitting phase.
Operations are conducted through its wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary, Cerro de Pasco Resources S.A.C., which holds the local mining rights and manages in-country technical, environmental, and community engagement activities. The company controls no operating mills or production facilities at present, and its activities are primarily supported by external engineering consultants, metallurgical laboratories, and environmental specialists. Data on major joint ventures or commercial production partnerships is inconclusive based on available public sources.
Strategic Position & Investments
Strategically, Cerro de Pasco Resources is positioned at the intersection of metals recovery and environmental remediation, leveraging historical tailings as a potential source of economically recoverable metals. Its growth strategy centers on advancing the El Metalurgista Project through technical studies, regulatory approvals, and community agreements, with the long-term objective of constructing a reprocessing facility. The company emphasizes sustainability and remediation as a differentiating factor relative to traditional greenfield mining projects.
The company’s investment activity has primarily involved land and concession acquisitions related to El Metalurgista, along with ongoing expenditures on drilling, sampling, and metallurgical optimization. Cerro de Pasco Resources does not report ownership of a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries or equity investments outside its core Peruvian operations. Involvement in emerging technologies is limited to conventional and enhanced tailings reprocessing and environmental management techniques; no verified exposure to unrelated sectors has been disclosed.
Geographic Footprint
Cerro de Pasco Resources maintains a focused geographic footprint concentrated in Peru, one of the world’s major mining jurisdictions. Its principal operational presence is in the Cerro de Pasco region, where the El Metalurgista concession and Quiulacocha tailings facility are located. This region has a long mining history and established infrastructure, which the company views as supportive of future development activities.
The company is headquartered in Canada, with corporate offices in Montreal, Quebec, and its capital markets presence is primarily Canadian. Outside of Peru and Canada, the company does not report material operations, assets, or investments. International influence is therefore limited to cross-border capital raising, regulatory reporting, and technical collaboration.
Leadership & Governance
Cerro de Pasco Resources is led by a management team with experience in mining finance, project development, and capital markets. The leadership’s stated strategic vision emphasizes responsible resource development, environmental remediation, and long-term value creation through disciplined project advancement. The company is governed by a board of directors overseeing strategy, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
Key executives include:
- Guy Goulet – President & Chief Executive Officer
- Mark Brennan – Chief Financial Officer
Public disclosures confirm the above leadership roles; information on additional executive officers or changes in senior management is limited or inconsistent across available public sources. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding the full composition of the extended executive team.
