The principal business of Tara Minerals is the acquisition, exploration and development of high-quality non-precious metals and mineral projects with potential for economic commercial value. Tara Minerals is currently focused on acquiring and developing properties in the natural resource belt of the Sierra Madre Occidental and other prolific areas in the states of Chihuahua, Sonora, and Sinaloa, Mexico.

Tara Minerals currently exists as an 80% owned subsidiary of Tara Gold Resources Corp. which has taken the initiative to arrange for its financing and may at a later date spin-off Tara Minerals Corp., into its own public entity.
