December 2020 Quarterly Report
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Expanded multi-rig and multi-target drill program underway at the Quinchia Gold Project in Colombia
-
Tesorito drilling illuminates Tesorito South porphyry geometry. Results include:
-
262m @ 0.84g/t Au from surface including 32m @ 1.7g/t Au from 144m within 66m at 1.3g/t Au from 132m in TS-DH11 with mineralisation remaining open to the west and at depth; and
-
9m at 1.15g/t Au from 26m in TS-DH10 which defines the lensing out of mineralisation to the east.
-
-
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company reported assay results from TS-DH14 at Tesorito South, which included:
- 320m @ 1.5g/t Au from 2m.[1]
-
Drilling at Chuscal provides strong porphyry vectoring information and Company transitions to deeper porphyry target drilling
-
Company’s own rig commissioned with drilling commencing at Tesorito in January 2021
-
With three drill rigs, significant funding, a backdrop of strong gold prices and exploration momentum, Los Cerros is committed to a bold, substantial exploration program heading into 2021 across multiple, very promising targets within the Quinchia Gold Project
The main focus of the December 2020 quarter for Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) (Los Cerros or the Company) was the ongoing Quinchia Gold Project multi-rig, multi-target drilling program commissioned in the previous quarter. The major themes of the program are –
-
Drilling at the established Tesorito South porphyry to better understand the size potential and geometry of the mineralised system
-
Drill testing magnetic and surface anomalism suggesting a causative porphyry at Tesorito North
-
Preliminary shallow drilling at Chuscal ahead of deeper porphyry drilling.
Tesorito South
TS-DH10 and TS-DH11 at the Tesorito South porphyry provided further broad intervals of porphyry gold and greatly improved the understanding of major controlling structures.
Hole TS-DH11 recorded 262m @ 0.84g/t Au from surface including 32m grading 1.7g/t Au from 144m within 66m at 1.3g/t Au from 132m (Figure 1). This intersection is broadly comparable to previous drilling at Tesorito South, with wide mineralised intercepts in diorite porphyry, magmatic breccia and coarse grained andesites, namely[1] :
-
384m @ 1.01g/t Au from 16m including 29.3m @ 1.9g/t Au from 136.7m in TS-DH02;
-
253m @ 1.01g/t Au from 2.9m including 64m @ 1.67g/t Au from 144m in TS-DH07; and
1 See ASX announcements of: 31 July 2018 and 30 August 2018 for the initial reporting of the assays for drill holes TS-DH01 to TS-DH07; 10 September 2020 for TS-DH08 assays; 10 November 2020 for TS-DH11 assays; and 21 January 2021 for TS-DH14. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information that affects the information contained in the announcements

- 230m @ 1.0g/t Au from surface including 74m @ 1.6g/t Au from 114m in TS-DH08.
Hole TS-DH10, designed to test the eastern limit of the porphyry suite and a significant molybdenum in soil anomaly, began in porphyry suite rocks such as coarse grained andesites (including 9m at 1.15g/t Au from 26m) before entering unaltered and unmineralized sediments and basaltic country rock. The hole effectively defined the eastern limit of mineralisation and, more importantly, revealed the N-S oriented Marmato Fault as a structural control for the porphyry complex.
On 21 January 2021, the Company announced the results of TS-DH14 which delivered the best result thus far from the Tesorito South porphyry with higher grade intercepts within a 320m zone of porphyry style mineralisation grading 1.5g/t Au from just 2m below surface including[1] :
-
102m @ 2.11 g/t Au from 28m; and
-
30m @ 2.47g/t Au and 0.12% Cu from 262m within 60m @ 1.75g/t Au and 0.12% Cu from 250m.
The 480 gram-metre gold intersection[2] is comparable to the strongest gold porphyry intercepts in the Mid-Cauca gold belt which hosts several multi-million-ounce gold and gold-copper deposits. The impact of the result is to dramatically increase potential grade of Tesorito South and to expand the highergrade envelope closer to surface and at depth. The intercepted zone of elevated copper (60m @ 1.75g/t Au and 0.12% Cu from 250m) is interpreted to be related to the deeper elevated copper zone encountered in TS-DH02 (35m @ 0.19% Cu from 365.5m[1] ) raising the possibility of further copper mineralisation at depth.
Tesorito North
TS-DH09, the first hole drilled at the Tesorito North anomaly provided valuable information for further targeting. Follow up holes TS-DH12 and TS-DH13 were subsequently completed with results released 21 January 2021.
TS-DH12 intercepted a 59.95m zone of elevated porphyry associated gold grading 0.51g/t and 52.5ppm molybdenum from 180.5m; and a deeper 38m zone of elevated gold grading 0.65g/t and 54.3ppm molybdenum from 448m. It remains unclear if this second zone of mineralisation is attributable to the down plunge extension of the Tesorito South porphyry or a separate northern porphyry pulse (Figure 1).
TS-DH13 recorded an encouraging intercept of 238m grading 0.48g/t gold with zones of high gold values concurrent with elevated copper and molybdenum suggesting proximity to a higher grade porphyry source within the immediate Tesorito North area.
Chuscal
The Chuscal drilling program was designed in two phases with phase one shallow program designed: to provide vectoring information ahead of phase two porphyry drilling; to better understand local controlling structures; and to explore for strike and depth extensions of near surface vein-hosted epithermal gold (Figure 2).

Results from Chuscal diamond drill holes CHDDH005 to CHDDH008 were released during the quarter with results confirming and refining 3 porphyry targets and prompting a transition to pursuit of the identified targets directly. Intercepts of note included[3] :
-
6m @ 2.32g/t Au from 114m including 0.6m @ 15.2g/t Au and 58.7g/t Ag from 116m in CHDDH007; and
-
5.2m @ 5.44g/t Au from 54.0m including 0.5m @ 38.1g/t Au and 74.1g/t Ag from 57.9m in CHDDH008.
Results from CHDDH009 and CHDDH010 are expected to be reported in February 2021.

The Andes Gold Project (Los Cerros 90%, BHC 10% free carry to FS) is a larger area of early stage exploration in the state of Antioquia ~70km north of Quinchia. The Company has previously completed extensive preliminary surface work at many sites within the expansive footprint including ~14,000 surface samples to identify multiple early stage epithermal gold and porphyry gold +/- copper targets.
The Company’s current strategy is to focus the majority of the Company’s financial and human resources on the Quinchia Gold Project. For the Andes Gold Project, 2021 planning includes surface work and ground geophysics at key epithermal and porphyry targets which might transition to drilling later in 2021.
Corporate Developments
Los Cerros formalised the agreement ( Agreement ) to exchange AngloGold Ashanti Colombia’s ( AGA ) interests in the Chuscal JV for LCL shares and options during the quarter. The Agreement is the conclusion of negotiations with AGA, the material terms of which were first announced 20 April 2020. The Agreement takes Los Cerros’ ownership of Chuscal to 100% and results in the Company holding 100% of all its projects in the Quinchia Gold Project of which Chuscal is a part, and also includes Tesorito, Miraflores, Dosquebradas and other less developed but interesting gold targets (Figure 4).
Key terms of the Agreement include:
-
issue of 10,476,597 fully paid ordinary Los Cerros shares to AGA[7] ;
-
issue of 15,430,648 options to AGA[7] , with an exercise price of $0.16 and an expiry date of 9 October 2021;
-
termination of the Chuscal Joint Venture Agreement (CJVA) and associated obligations such as minimum spend requirements. Under the previous CJVA, Los Cerros can earn a 51% interest through expenditure of US$2.5m to 2022. Under the Agreement, Los Cerros now has a 100% interest in Chuscal, with no further earn-in obligations; and
-
usual warranties and conditions typical of a transaction of this nature.
On 19 November 2020, Blair Snowball was appointed Chief Financial Officer and joint Company Secretary, alongside Jessamyn Lyons, who has served as Company Secretary since 18 November 2019. The appointment followed Julia Beckett’s resignation as Company Secretary, on 9 November 2020.
A General Meeting of shareholders was held on 23 October 2020. All resolutions were approved by Poll including the approval of the Performance Rights Plan and issue of Performance Rights to directors.
On January 21, 2021 the Company’s closing shareprice was $0.20 which satisfied the milestone targets associated with the Tranche 1 of the above mentioned Performance Rights issued to Directors. The Company has notified Directors of the milestones being satisfied. Subject to the Company’s Security Trading Policy, where applicable, Directors have until 31 January 2025 to convert the rights to shares being:

Post the December quarter, the Company completed the Small Share Parcel Sale Facility that was announced to the ASX on 19 November 2020. The Company provided the facility to holders of small parcels to sell their shares without incurring brokerage or handling costs, which could otherwise make a sale uneconomic or difficult. ASX Listing Rules define a small holding as being one with a market value of less than $500 (“Small Share Parcels”).
The Record Date for the purposes of establishing holders of Small Share Parcels was set at close of trade on 18 November 2020. At that date 1,218 shareholders held shares with a market value of less than $500, amounting to a total of 1,015,492 ordinary shares in the Company (representing approximately 0.22% of total shares on issue). The final number of eligible shares sold under the facility was 658,350 ordinary shares held by 917 shareholders (0.14% of total shares on issue). The shares were sold on market by Euroz Hartleys Ltd at a price of $0.12 per share. Payments were dispatched to participating shareholders on 22 January 2021.
Appendix 5B disclosures:
As outlined in the attached Appendix 5B, during the quarter the Company spent approximately:
-
$1,607k on exploration activities;
-
$108k in payments were made to related parties and their associates for director salaries, consultancy fees, superannuation, and other related costs; and
-
$614k on administration and corporate costs.
The Year Ahead
With cash at bank of $7.9 million, 2021 is slated to be Los Cerros’ biggest year of exploration drilling in recent years with a continuous, multi-rig drilling program focussed on:
-
Tesorito leading into a maiden JORC Resource calculation;
-
gold-copper porphyry targets identified at Chuscal; and
-
testing for extensions to the existing Miraflores Resource (877,000 ounces).
Drilling will be supplemented by other exploration programs including mapping, soil/rock chip geochemistry and geophysics, designed to rapidly advance the extensive Los Cerros exploration portfolio.
The Company also expects to finalise submissions for project development approvals at Miraflores later in the year.
For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 15.5, the Board has authorised for this announcement to be released.

(1) All titles are part of the Andes Gold Project, located in Antioquia, Risaralda and Choco, Departments of Colombia. Pursuant to the Interest Transfer Agreement with Bullet Holding Corporation (Bullet), Andes has a 90% beneficial interest, and Bullet has a 10% interest. All tenements have been crossed checked against the National Mining Authority Registry (ANNA) and reflect the status reported in ANNA. The Colombian Mining Authority’s migration to a new tenement management and cadastre system (ANNA) has generated inconsistencies and issues concerning certain mineral tenement boundaries. In addition, there is uncertainty regarding the application and constitutionality of Presidential Decree 1955/19, the purpose of which was to re-instate certain land rights over free land to qualifying informal miners. The issues are not unique to Los Cerros and have the potential to reduce the footprint of a subset of exploration licence applications within the Company’s Andes Gold Project. The Company is monitoring the situation and will keep the market informed of developments.
(2) The Titleholders of the tenements are:
(2.1) Tenements in process of acquisition by Andes Resources EP S.A.S (Andes).
(2.2) The titleholders of the applications are various companies associated with Bullet and covered under the Interest Transfer Agreement – see note (1).
(2.3) Andes is a subsidiary company of Los Cerros.
(3) Concessions at Exploration Stage have 3 year life extendable for 2 years to a maximum of 11 years.
(4) 10 year life extendable for 10 years and the tenement is in process of transformation to Concession contract.
(5) 5 year life extendable for 5 years and the tenement is in process of transformation to Concession contract.
(6) Applications have neither legal liabilities nor certainty that they will be granted in whole or in part. If the ground was open ground at the time of lodging, a contract for exploration and potential exploitation will be offered to the applicant. Andes has a beneficial interest in the tenement when the application is granted.
(7) Currently under ‘technical study’ by the mining authority pending granting of an application.
