Remedioambiente Starts Underground Work in the Historic Mine Workings at El Oro, Mexico
29 Gennaio 2025 - 1:00PM
Xali Gold Corp. (TSXV:XGC) (“Xali Gold” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that a Definitive Agreement (the “Agreement”)
has been agreed to with Remedioambiente S.A. de C.V.
(“Remedioambiente”) allowing them to start underground test work at
El Oro, Mexico. The initial work will focus on identifying the most
effective recovery methods for gold and silver as well as
establishing the best underground access. Xali Gold is to be paid a
Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) of approximately 3% on all gold and
silver recovered by Remedioambiente from the historic workings
above the 2400 metre (“m”) level.
“We are very pleased to have the underground
work commencing at El Oro. The Remedioambiente team has an
impressive track record of achieving production rapidly, delivering
strong profits, and uncovering valuable mineral deposits. Our
Agreement with them not only preserves the exploration potential
we’ve identified below the historic workings but also paves the way
for collaborative testing of exploration concepts, underground
access for drilling our previously defined high-grade targets under
the historic workings, and the opportunity to get up to date on
mineral rights fees,” states Joanne Freeze, President and CEO of
Xali Gold.
The Agreement supercedes the binding Letter of
Intent (“LOI”) dated July 22, 2024 and provides for an initial term
of 5 years which may be extended for an additional 5 years
providing Remedioambiente is spending a minimum US$1 Million (“M”)
per year on the property. Xali Gold retains the exclusive ownership
of all mineral bodies discovered or delineated below the 2400 m
level.
In addition, Remedioambiente shall maintain the
concessions in good standing, by paying the semi-annual concession
fees, by incurring the minimum investments and the corresponding
filings with the Mexican Mines Bureau, by filing statistical
reports and by paying the Governmental Royalties.
About Remedioambiente
Remedioambiente is a private company controlled
and managed by Keith Piggott, the former President and CEO of
Goldgroup Mining Inc. and Core Gold Inc. Mr. Piggott is a mining
engineer with over 50 years of experience in Zambia, Australia and
PNG, Mexico and South America. As well as significant exploration
success in the recent past, he has started 3 mines: Cerro Colorado,
El Boludo and Cerro Prieto in Sonora, Mexico plus a green-fields
start in a record time of 3 months in Ecuador. These mines have
collectively produced approximately 500,000 oz of gold to date.
Other Matters
While expecting an update on test work on the El
Oro Tailings project and increased activity at the SDA
beneficiation plant in Western Mexico, Xali Gold continues to
review opportunities for increasing exploration including other
potential high grade gold-silver vein targets in Mexico and low
cost production style high sulphidation gold-silver projects in
Peru.
About Xali Gold
Xali Gold has gold and silver projects in Peru
and Mexico. The Company’s flagship project, El Oro, is a district
scale historic producer of 8 million gold equivalent ounces of gold
and silver. Future exploration in Mexico will be focused on the El
Oro property which covers 20 veins with past production and more
than 57 veins in total, from which approximately 6.4M ozs of gold
and 74M ozs of silver were reported to have been produced from just
two of these veins (Ref. Mexico Geological Service Bulletin Nr. 37,
Mining of the El Oro and Tlalpujahua Districts, by T. Flores in
1920). Modern understanding of epithermal vein systems indicates
that several of the El Oro district’s veins hold excellent
discovery potential, particularly below and adjacent to the
historic workings of the San Rafael Vein, which was mined to an
average depth of only 200m.
While the Company’s main goal at El Oro is to
make a new discovery, similar to the multi-million ounce (“oz”)
gold and silver ore bodies mined historically, the Company has
entered into two agreements to bring in cash flow by producing gold
and silver from the El Oro Project. Kappes, Cassiday &
Associates (“KCA”), in partnership with Starcore International
Mines Ltd., has the right to reprocess tailings which contain 1.27
million tonnes at a grade of 2.94 gpt gold and 75.12 gpt silver
(3.85 gpt gold equivalent) containing 119,900 oz of gold and
3,061,200 oz of silver*. Remedioambiente S.A. de C.V. (“RM”) has
the right to recover gold and silver from mineralized veins and
backfill left behind in the historic mine workings as described
above. The agreements provide for Xali Gold to receive funds from
net smelter returns (“NSRs”) of up to 3% from each of these two
agreements.
Xali Gold is dedicated to being a responsible
community partner.
