Our origins
FAMILY LEGACY
The beginning of a story that continues.
Heritage Mining Group was born from a family history connected to mining, entrepreneurial vision and knowledge of the Mendoza territory.
The origins of the portfolio can be traced to José A. Fugazzotto, a descendant of Italian immigrants and an entrepreneur whose career was shaped by hard work, initiative and the ability to adapt to challenging circumstances. During a particularly difficult period for mining in Mendoza, he participated in the development of a diversified group of mineral assets while also pursuing investments associated with the real estate sector.
Building on that legacy, his son Luciano Fugazzotto took on the challenge of recovering, organizing and renewing a story shaped over time. As founder of Heritage Mining Group, Luciano is leading a new stage that brings historical background together with contemporary tools for analysis, mapping, GIS, information management and progressive project evaluation.
Heritage Mining Group represents the evolution of that history: a platform built on accumulated knowledge, a long-term perspective and a commitment to transforming a family legacy into a technically structured portfolio prepared for new opportunities for collaboration.
The recovery and organization of a legacy through contemporary technical tools and criteria.
To build better-understood, responsibly developed projects prepared for long-term strategic relationships.

Heritage today
Heritage Mining Group
Territorial knowledge.
Project stewardship.
A long-term perspective.
Heritage Mining Group is a mineral project development platform focused on southern Mendoza, Argentina.
Our portfolio brings together properties associated with different geological environments and commodities, integrating assets with historical background, available geological information and contemporary analytical and interpretation tools.
We transform dispersed geological information into structured, technically understandable projects prepared to advance toward new stages of evaluation and collaboration.
We distinguish historical background from currently verified information.
We tailor each program to the knowledge level of the property.
We incorporate environmental and territorial criteria from the outset.

The territory
Malargüe, Mendoza
A territory defined by its geological diversity.
Southern Mendoza brings together sedimentary, magmatic, volcanic and structural environments shaped by the evolution of the Andes and the sedimentary basins of western Argentina.
Understanding the territory is a fundamental part of exploration. Each evaluation considers local and regional geology, topography, access, environmental conditions and different land uses.

This site publishes regional location references only; it does not disclose property coordinates or polygons.
Public cartography
Five projects. One regional perspective.
The areas are shown through generalized radii centered on public geographic references. Their purpose is to communicate territorial context without disclosing precise locations.

How we develop projects
Responsible exploration
Better information before greater intervention.
We understand exploration as a progressive process of reducing uncertainty. The objective is to generate the right information for better decisions at every stage.
Review
We organize historical background, public information and available geological documentation.
Interpret
We integrate mapping, GIS, remote sensing and structural analysis to build working hypotheses.
Verify
We test hypotheses through territorial reconnaissance and technically justified field observations.
Prioritize
We define the next step according to the knowledge level and characteristics of each project.
06
