ASX RELEASE: 10 December 2020
Acquisition of La Fortuna Gold-Copper Project Strengthens Jadar’s Latin America Precious Metals Portfolio
Highlights
-
Jadar Resources has signed an option to acquire a 100% interest in the 2,707.2 hectare La Fortuna gold-copper project in Guerrero, Mexico.
-
The project is located in the prolific Guerrero Gold belt, which hosts several multi-million-ounce gold projects.
-
La Fortuna is highly complimentary to the recently acquired Tierra Blanca[1] project also located in Mexico and adds to Jadar’s growing Latin American precious metals portfolio which also includes the Yanamina Gold Project located in Peru[2] .
-
Significant exploration activity undertaken by previous owners has provided a number of potential near-term targets for drilling following exercise of the purchase option.
-
Geological mapping, rock chip sampling, IP and Magnetic Surveying have been completed with sample values of 2161ppb Au and 13000ppm Cu being recorded.[3]
-
Magnetite-gold-copper skarn mineralisation has been identified on surface with a TMI defined magnetite zone of >300,000m[2] . Multiple drill-ready targets.
-
Cu & Au in-soils anomalism >2,000,000m[2] . High value, (>100ppb) Au in-soils anomalism >300,000m[2] up to 2.16g/t Au in-soils.
-
Other prospects on the large tenement holding have had previous samples taken averaging 220g/t Ag, 5.2% Zn and 4.5%Pb from 10 old dump and rock chip samples.
-
The acquisition terms are highly attractive with predominately share based milestone payments and allowing for minimum upfront spend by Jadar.
Jadar Resources Limited (ASX:JDR) (“ Jadar ”, the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce it has reached agreement with the shareholders of Minera GS S.A de C.V (“Minera GS”), a privately owned Mexican company, for an option to acquire 100% of the la Fortuna Property, located 270km south west of Mexico City in the Guerrero Gold Belt. The area is accessible via a network of tracks, all of which will be advantageous for Jadar both in terms of upcoming exploration and a potential future mining operation.
This transformative acquisition is highly complementary to the recently acquired Tierra Blanca project[4] also located within Mexico, and further strengthens the Company’s presence in country. Additionally, with the

establishment of Jadar’s Latin American focused management team located in Mexico the Company is well placed to drive exploration activities and seek additional acquisition opportunities.
The la Fortuna Project held under Titulo 243345 has demonstrable potential to host a substantial gold-copper project, and a substantial body of work to date has determined at least 5 targets for near term drilling.
During the Option Period, the modelling of the extensive data on the project will be finalised, to expedite the siting and permitting of drill holes.
Jadar Resources’ Executive Director Adrian Paul commented:
“The acquisition of la Fortuna is a huge success for the Company and adds to our growing Latin Amercican portolfio. With our in country team, lead by Hugh Callaghan, on the ground in Mexico the company is perfectly positioned to begin planning exploration activities and look for further complimentary acquisitions in Latin America.
The project hosts a number of potential drill ready targets with extensive exploration work carried out to date by previous owners, and with a number of major mines and advancing projects in Guerrero Gold belt Jadar looks forward to progressing exploration activities at la Fortuna.”
Guerrero Gold Belt
The la Fortuna project lies within the prolific Guerrero gold belt where several major mines and projects have been discovered and developed (Fig. 1). The majority of the large projects demonstrate open pit projects with heap leach processing.

Mineralisation in the Guerrero Gold Belt is related to gold-bearing iron skarn porphyries and occur within faults and as replacement deposits formed in, and around, the igneous intrusions.
The Guerrero Gold Belt contains tertiary tonalite, granodiorite and monzodiorite porphyries intruded into cretaceous limestones and sandstones. Skarn zones exist between the igneous intrusions and the carbonaterich country rock, and within them iron minerals dominate.
Coaxtlahuacan Prospect
The Coaxtlahuacan prospect will be the priority for immediate focus, and can be rapidly advanced to drilling. The outcropping copper mineralisation at Coaxtlahuacan consists of chalcocite and malachite and is associated with stockworks, massive lenses and disseminations of magnetite, or sericite altered quartz felspar porphyry.
The surface geology and spatial distribution of gold and copper mineralisation at Coaxtlahuacan conforms with the well-documented geology and geochemistry, and the well understood controls on mineralisation, of numerous significant polymetallic skarn deposits within the Guerrero Belt. Coaxtlahuacan and Guerrero Belt deposits all demonstrate intrusive-related, polymetallic mineralisation at or near the contact with limestone.

Figure 2 – La Fortuna tenement area, geology and prospects
The visible surface showings of copper and gold mineralisation occur over an area of 100m x 500m in gullies and other topographically lower extents of the large geochemical anomaly.
The copper mineralisation (>500ppm Cu) occurs in a large anomaly 300m x 500m in extent and was observed only in gullies due to pre-erosion, near-surface weathering and leaching of the copper. Several rock chip samples taken assayed in excess of 5000ppm (0.5% Cu).

The gold in soils geochemistry demonstrated significant values (>50ppb Au) over an area of 1.3km x 1.6km in extent. Within this zone, in an area of 1500m x 200m is a particularly strong anomaly demonstrating values greater than 100ppb Au and as high as 2161ppb Au. This anomaly is open to the North West and the South and suggests potential for a substantial disseminated and stockwork gold mineralisation, with the likelihood that the copper was leached out near-surface and may be encountered lower in the system.
Drilling targets will be prioritized in these areas with the intent to delineate a potential gold-copper resource.
La Fortuna Project Geology and Mineralisation
The core of the system is located north of the town of Coaxtlahuacan and is best described as a northerly plunging sediment-sill complex of Early Tertiary granitoids on the order of 1000 m thick that intrudes Middle Jurassic to Middle Cretaceous marine sediments and limestones. Copper and gold occur with magnetite in this complex as: (i) stockworks, (ii) disseminations and pods, and (iii) possibly as large scale magnetite-replaced rafts (xenoliths) of limestone (iron skarn). This area may have open-pit or underground mine potential.
Peripheral parts of the area are characterized by gold and base metal rich quartz veins and sulphide-rich carbonate-hosted replacement deposits (CRD’s) with underground mine potential.
Work to date includes extensive mapping, rock chip sampling Fire-assay and ICP multi-element geochemical data for 118 stream sediment samples, 10,649 soil samples and 520 surface rock chip samples taken from lines 100-200m by 25m apart over most of the licence area (Refer to Appendix 2 – 5). 26 line kilometres of ground magnetic and Induced Polarization surveys of the Coaxtlahuacan prospect have shown coincident magnetic highs with strong copper and gold anomalies at surface (Fig. 2).

Jadar’s targeted Iron-skarns are characterised by magnetite-copper, gold mineralisation. At la Fortuna the TMI magnetic anomaly maps the surface observations of magnetite, which envelopes the location of elevated gold and copper surface samples (note: the location of the rock-chip samples is mostly limited to road and creek cuts. The spatial correlation between these key geochemical and geophysical anomalies is likely to be stronger defined with more intensive sampling). Drill collars C1 to C4 into IP chargeability anomalies were targeting the silica alteration zone common on the margins of the intrusive, heat and metal source of, skarn systems. The intersected argillic-altered, minor magnetite, gold, copper, Quartz Feldspar Porphyry (QFP) is interpreted to represent the intrusive core of the la Fortuna skarn system, providing a valuable South East vector to gold, copper, magnetite-rich mineralisation.
Key Option and Acquisition Terms
Jadar has entered into a term sheet with Dr Georg H. Schnura to secure a 90 day exclusive option to acquire 100% of the shares in Minera GS S.A de C.V, the company owning the la Fortuna Project, in return for a cash payment of US$50,000 and the issuance of 6,000,000 Jadar shares.
Upon exercise of the option, Jadar will acquire 100% of the shares of the company for the following consideration:
-
US$ 100,000 in cash and 15,000,000 shares in Jadar to acquire 50% of Minera GS on the expiry date of the option.
-
US$ 100,000 in cash and 15,000,000 shares in Jadar to purchase a further 30% of Minera GS within 12 months of the date exercise of the option
-
US$ 100,000 in cash and 15,000,000 shares in Jadar for the remaining 20% of the shares in Minera GS within 12 months of purchasing the 80% shareholding.
-
Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) of 1%.
Other Targets
The Espinoza and Fortuna Silver-Lead-Zinc targets identified within the project area demonstrate historical small-scale mining and are interpreted as a possible Carbonate Replacement Style deposit. At la Fortuna the average grade of 10 old dump and rock chip samples was assayed at 220g/t silver, 5.2% Zn, 4.5% Pb. While these prospects are a secondary priority behind the gold-copper at Coaxtlahuacan, they nevertheless present an intriguing and potentially fast track exploration and development option complementary in Jadar’s portfolio to the recently acquired Tierra Blanca project in Chihuahua State[10] .
Future Plans
Jadar believes this acquisition is an excellent and potentially large-scale opportunity to build on its Latin American focused portfolio, with a project that will be ready to drill in the first half of 2021. The extent and grade of the mineralised anomalies suggest a rare opportunity to acquire a shallow gold-copper project at a time of excellent gold prices, but more importantly rapidly rising copper prices at a time when the market is facing a critical shortage of copper and outstanding market fundamentals.

About Jadar Resources Limited
Jadar Resources Limited (ASX:JDR) has acquired a strategically diversified asset portfolio, across Gold/Silver and Lithium/Borate, with projects at varying stage of exploration, across Peru, Serbia and Austria. Jadar aims to generate shareholder value through targeted exploration and development of these assets.
On 2 February 2020, Jadar announced that the Company had completed the acquisition of Minera Wealth Peru S.A.C., the holder of five concessions known as the Yanamina Gold Project. Following the acquisition of Yanamina, a Maiden JORC Resource Estimate was announced of 6,742,260 tonnes @ 1.23g/t gold and 4.31 g/t silver for 265,987 ounces of contained gold, and 934,528 ounces of contained silver, confirming the Yanamina Gold Project as a significant bulk mining development opportunity with strong economic potential[11] .
On 17th November 2020, Jadar announced the acquisition of the Tierra Blanca project, a silver zinc and Lead prospect in Chihuahua State, Mexico. The district surrounding Chihuahua is a significant silver producing region with several substantial mines operated by majors and mid-tier companies, District Historical Production of 50Mt at 310 g/t Ag, 8.2% Pb and 7.1% Zn12.
Tierra Blanca is a drill-ready project close to infrastructure and several processing plants. Sampling in an exploration drive has revealed high-grade zinc mineralisation outcropping to surface, with structural interpretation suggesting potential for high-grade silver at deeper levels[13] .
The Company’s also holds a number of lithium assets located within Serbia and Austria adding additional diversification to the asset portfolio. Drilling is currently uinderway at the Weinebene Project in Austria which surrounds European Lithium Limited’s Wolfsberg lithium deposit with 11MT @ 1.0%Li2O[14] .
