Sona city is located in Panama. It has been intermittently exploited by artisanal placer gold operations since Spanish colonial times. In the 1990s, Cyprus Minerals conducted stream sediment, soil and rock sampling on Sona. This work defined a 200 m by 300 m gold anomaly in soils, with assays up to 4.40 g/t Au. Oro Gold's work has confirmed the soil anomaly, with rock chip results up to 4.05 g/t Au. All three new anomalies are located outside the soil anomaly identified by Cyprus.
Mapping shows the property is underlain by granodiorite to monzonite intrusive rocks with andesite flows and tuffs.
