Ø NewPeak fulfills agreement terms with Genesis Minerals (Argentina) SA and moves to 51% ownership of its highly prospective Las Opeñas Gold Project in San Juan, Argentina.
-
Ø NewPeak executes Shareholders Agreement and establishes Las Opeñas Metals SA, an Argentine entity incorporated for the specific development of the Las Opeñas Gold project.
-
Ø The ownership milestone puts NewPeak in a secure position ahead of its planned drilling in Q4 2021, which aims to test:
-
the previously defined, highly anomalous precious metal Presagio West epithermal vein target, and
-
two newly identified 600-800m long and 100-150m wide geophysical anomalies at the Belleza target. The new targets remain untested by drilling completed by Teck and Genesis during 2012-14.

NewPeak Metals Limited, ( Company, NewPeak, ASX:NPM ) is pleased to announce that the Company has reached 51% ownership of the Las Opeñas Gold Project from Genesis Minerals (Argentina) SA (Genesis), after having completed the necessary exploration expenditure and vendor payment commitments, as per the terms of the Agreement (as detailed in the ASX Release dated 22[nd] January 2019). NewPeak has the option to earn 100% of the project at its discretion at any time for a modest additional investment outlay. In addition to this, Genesis and NPM will form the corporation Las Opeñas Metals SA, to move the project forward under an individual corporate structure.

The acquisition of the controlling interest of the Las Opeñas project is a major milestone and one that secures NPM’s ownership in this highly prospective Gold and Silver project in the mining friendly province of San Juan, Argentina ( Figure 1 ).
David Mason, Managing Director & CEO comments: “Las Opeñas is an exceptional precious metals project with epithermal veins hosting significant mineralisation at surface and depth, including the Presagio vein-breccia system which extends over a distance of 3.7km ( Figure 2 ). In addition to this, a recent GAIP geophysical survey of the Belleza target has highlighted the potential scale of this second mineralised system. Drilling to date has indicated the potential at depth and a program is planned later in the year to further progress this project towards defining certified JORC Resources.

-
Ø Finland Gold – Resource definition drilling program logistics under final preparation to allow drilling to commence in several weeks ( refer ASX release 5[th] July 2021) .
-
Ø Sweden Strategic Metals – Recent evaluation program amassed a large collection of historical resource and production data which has been used to undertake a prospectivity analysis study, resulting in a series of highly ranked targets.

-
Ø New Zealand Gold – Cap Burn drilling completed, expecting results to be available shortly (there are long delays from the NZ laboratory – refer ASX release 11[th] June 2021 ).

-
Ø Lakes Blue Energy – Recommencement of trading and advancement in market value would substantially increase NewPeak’s market position ( refer ASX release of Lakes Blue Energy NL dated 2[nd] July 2021 ).
