BOARD OF DIRECTORS Eduardo Valenzuela (Non-Executive Chairman) Adrian Griffin (Managing Director) Bryan Dixon (Non-Executive Director)
Cobre Montana has completed the legal requirements to acquire 55% interest in the Piedrecillas copper/silver project (ASX announcement 10 October 2013). The project is located about 180km south-west of the Chilean capital, Santiago in the Chilean Coastal Range. The project covers 3700 hectares, and exhibits geological features similar to that of other manto-style (tabular) deposits found elsewhere in the region. Manto-style mineralisation can host significant copper deposits, as evidenced by the nearby El Soldado deposit (200 Mt @ 1.35% copper) operated by Anglo American. Manto deposits are often higher in grade than their larger porphyry counterparts.
The Directors, and the Company’s technical advisors believe that exploration at the majority owned Piedrecillas provides much greater potential value to shareholders than further expenditure on the farm-in opportunity at Mantos Grandes (ASX announcement 27 September 2013) particularly considering that the initial drilling program did not deliver the results required by CXB to progress to the next stage. The project, under the terms of the farm-in agreement with Southern Hemisphere Limited, required a further $2.1M expenditure prior to Cobre Montana earning an equity position. Under current market conditions the required expenditure is an unacceptably high risk to shareholders and attempts to renegotiate the terms of the farm-in agreement have failed.
Cobre Montana will expedite work on Piedrecillas and continue assessing exploration and production opportunities in South America, in particular Chile. CXB will seek to secure an outright majority equity and controlling position in future projects.
