QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 30 June 2014
The Board of Oro Verde Limited (ASX:“OVL”) (“Oro Verde” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide its Quarterly Report for the period ended 30 June 2014.
Timon Project – Chile
The Timon Project covers 17km[2 ] , comprises a number of Exploitation Concessions and is located 75km southeast of the city of Copiapo in Region 3 of Chile in the southern extension of the Late Eocene to Oligocene Giant Porphyry Copper Belt of Chile.
During the quarter both internal and external, independent evaluation of all drill results, geophysical, geochemical and surface sampling data gathered to date was undertaken. The review noted that while drilling had defined subtle geochemical copper enrichment the recent drilling undertaken by the Company downgraded the prospectivity of the project. The downgrading of the prospect and the continued cash option payments required led to a decision by the board to return the project to the vendor with no further work undertaken.
Alma Project - Chile
No work was undertaken on the Alma project during the quarter.
San Juan Project - Argentina
On 19 March 2014 the company advised that subject to due diligence it had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with ASX listed Argentine Mining Ltd (“AVK”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares in its Argentinean domiciled company, Entropy Resources SA (“Entropy”) that holds options to acquire a suite of copper, gold and silver projects in the Andean Cordillera of San Juan Province, on the Chilean border of Argentina.
On 3[rd] June 2014 Oro Verde announced that after completing due diligence it would not be proceeding with the acquisition.
New Project Development
The Company continues to review a number of highly promising new projects in Chile and elsewhere.
Corporate
During the quarter the Company successfully completed an entitlement issue raising $583,166, before expenses of the issue.
At the end of the quarter the Company had 267,156,736 shares on issue and $334,628 cash on hand.
