Vancouver, BC, Canada - Madoro Metals Corp. (“Madoro” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has fully exercised its option to purchase a 100% interest in the Cerro Minas mineral concession (title # 234333) having a surface area of 899 hectares, located in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico (the “Property”).
The Cerro Minas Property lies within the Oaxaca epithermal Au-Ag belt, approximately 130 kilometers southeast of Oaxaca City, and 30 kilometers southeast of Gold Resource Corporation’s (NYSE American: GORO) operating Arista-Switchback mine (Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn). The Property is an inlier to Madoro’s principal Yautepec Project and covers 5 kilometers strike length of highly prospective ground along a northwest trending caldera structural margin as reported in prior Madoro news releases (see July 16th and August 22nd, 2019). In addition, the Property contains polymetallic skarn-style mineralization (Ag-Au-Cu-Pb-Zn) that is the subject of historical reports by the Mexican Consejo de Recursos Minerales that document small-scale artisanal mining. With this acquisition, Madoro has consolidated over 7 kilometers strike length of high potential targets for epithermal and skarn mineralization.
Pursuant to the option agreement with Gunpoint Exploration Ltd. (“Gunpoint”) and Gunpoint’s subsidiary, Minera CJ Gold S.A. de C.V. dated September 30, 2019, Madoro has made total cash payments to Gunpoint of US$100,000 and issued a total of 800,000 common shares of the Company, over the period of three years. Gunpoint retains a 1.5% Net Smelter Returns Royalty on the Property, of which the Company may purchase, at any time, 0.5% for US$1,000,000.
