Mollacas Sale Completed
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Sale of the non-core Mollacas project has completed, with A$1.3 million cash received.
-
Timely non-dilutive cash injection further strengthens Los Cerros’ balance sheet, ahead of next drilling of the Quinchia Gold Project.
Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) (the Company) is pleased to advise the sale of its non-core Mollacas Project in Chile has now completed, with A$1.3 million cash proceeds (after settlement costs and exchange rate variations) received by the Company.
The Company’s Managing Director, Jason Stirbinskis said:
“This sale has provided a timely and non-dilutive cash injection for us, supplementing the A$2.1 million in new equity raised by our placement last week.
“We have compelling drill targets at our Quinchia Gold Project and, with new funding secured over the past week, we are well placed to get back into drilling. In Q2 we are planning to follow up what are arguably some of the strongest gold porphyry intercepts by ASX explorers in recent years given +300m width, near-surface gold mineralisation intercepts at both Tesorito and Chuscal prospects[1] ”.
The Company remains focused on expanding its gold resource base within its advanced Quinchia Gold Project in the heart of the prolific mid-Cauca Gold-Copper Belt of Colombia, where the Company has an existing gold Resource of 877,000 ounces at the Miraflores deposit (DFS completed in 2017)[2] , and large-scale gold targets at each of the Tesorito and Chuscal prospects which lie within 2kms of the proposed development site for the Miraflores deposit. The company also looks forward to returning to the expansive but earlier stage Andes Project, also within the MidCauca, which has already revealed a considerable number of vein and porphyry style targets[1] .
For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 15.5, the Board has authorised for this announcement to be released.
