About Standard Tolling Corp.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Tolling owns and operates the 150 TPD custom tolling facility in Huamachuco which services the legal small mining communities of northern Peru. Under the progressive new formalization mandate, the Peruvian government has enacted legislation to curtail illegal mining by requiring all toll processing operations to purchase only compliant ores. This has created significant opportunity for well run, well funded operators to gain market share as older poorly capitalized players with poor technology are phased out.
