San Albino Gold Deposit Project Update - Preliminary Economic Assessment Well Advanced
Preparation of a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) report for the San Albino Deposit is well advanced with the results to be announced in early Q1 2015. A technical report will be filed within 45 days thereafter.
The PEA report is being prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. ("P&E") of Brampton, Ontario. P&E authored the Company's initial NI 43-101 Technical Report and Resource Estimate on the San Albino Gold Deposit filed in early January 2013 and prepared the subsequent updated mineral resource estimate announced on July 24, 2014.
The PEA will review both In-Pit (open-pittable) and Out-of-Pit (underground) resources, providing detailed information regarding total current resources, a preliminary mine design and Life of Mine Plan, operating cost, capital cost, sensitivities and preliminary project economics.
The PEA will incorporate a pending resource estimate update and is intended to supplement an internal due diligence technical review report (formerly referred to as an 'internal scoping study' announced on June 20, 2014). This due diligence technical review focused on metallurgical studies and preliminary capital cost estimates. Economic analysis intended to determine the potential viability of mineral resources is being addressed under the PEA.
The pending PEA is a conceptual study of the potential viability of mineral resources. As the Company does not intend to complete a Pre-Feasilbility or Feasibility Study prior to potentially commencing small scale production at the San Albino Gold Deposit there is an increased risk that the economic and technical aspects of the PEA may not be realized.
Located at the southern end of a 20 kilometre long mineralized trend outlined and defined by Golden Reign as the Corona de Oro Gold Belt, the San Albino Gold Deposit is the first of the five areas targeted for potential future development by the Company. The Company recently completed a US$15 million gold streaming arrangement with Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: MLN), which will fund the construction and development of the San Albino Gold Deposit (see news release dated July 11, 2014).
