Colombian-focused explorer Los Cerros has moved to 100% ownership of the Quinchia project in the Mid-Cauca copper-gold porphyry belt after formalising its acquisition of the remaining 49% of AngloGold Ashanti’s interest in the Chuscal JV.
Quinchia, which also includes the Miraflores, Tesorito and Dosquebradas deposits as well as Chuscal, holds JORC-compliant measured and indicated resources of 840,000oz and reserves of 547,000oz.
LCL will issue 10.5M shares and 15.4M options to AngloGold. MD Jason Stirbinskis welcomes AngloGold as a shareholder, contributing its vast knowledge of Colombian geology and gold discoveries plus direct experience of the Quinchia region.
