Veraguas is a province of Panama, located in the centre-west of the country. The capital is the city of Santiago de Veraguas. It is the only Panamanian province to border both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It covers an area of 10,587.6 kmÂē.
Placer gold occurs on the Rivers Santiago, ConcepciÃģn, Veraguas and BelÃĐn in the foothills and the Caribbean lowlands of the Santa FÃĐ district in northern Veraguas in the continuation of the CoclÃĐ district. The Veraguas district was an important Spanish gold producer in the late 16th century. The most important mine was Cocuyo on the River Santiago which was mined from 1559-1589 and produced about 9 metric tons of gold from alluvial and quartz vein deposits. The town of ConcepciÃģn was established at the river mouth and the mining settlement of Santiago de TurlurÚ between the Santiago and Barrera rivers. Mining was re-started at ConcepciÃģn in 1629-1640, and has continued intermittently since the 18th century.
Small placer gold deposits occur in several rivers in the western Azuero and SonÃĄ peninsulas of southern Veraguas and were exploited by the Spanish in minor gold rushes in the 16th-17th century as the region was settled. These were on the River Tebario and River Quebro in the hills of Guanete (Azuero Massif), around the mining town of San Juan de Mariato (now Llano de Catival or Mariato), and the River TabarabÃĄ (now called the River San Pablo) near Montijo where the lost town of Nuestra SeÃąora de la Regla was founded.
