The Piedrecillas project has been described as having local geology similar to that of manto-style (tabular) deposits found elsewhere in the region. Manto-style mineralisation can host significant copper deposits, as evidenced by the El Soldado deposit (200 Mt @ 1.35% copper) operated by Anglo American. Manto deposits are often higher in grade than their larger porphyry counterparts, due to the preponderance of bornite mineralisation in the system.
The announcement of 10 October stated that the parties had reached agreement on the terms of an option to acquire a 65% interest in the project. Since that time, technical and legal due diligence has been completed and CXB considered it appropriate to reduce the equity under option from 65% to 55% to reduce the risk profile, and to comply with dual jurisdictional requirements of Australia and Chile. The option fee has been reduced from US$20,000 to US$16,000 and the exercise price of the option has been subsequently reduced from US$200,000 to US$ 169,231 or, as the election of CXB, 3,553,846 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of CXB. The option expires on 28 March 2014.
The vendors comprise three Chilean nationals and one Chilean company. Eduardo Valenzuela, Chairman of CXB, has an interest in the Chilean company which presently holds an indirect interest of 20% of the Piedrecillas project. The option agreement is with individual shareholders of the project’s holding company and as such CXB is dealing with those shareholders as individuals.
The company in which Mr Valenzuela has an interest, will not receive any option fee, but will be a beneficiary of 20% of the exercise consideration, should CXB chose to exercise its rights to acquire the interest held by that company. Under the terms of the agreement, CXB is required to deal with each of the parties individually and is not required to exercise its rights over the entire 55%.
