VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Feb. 24, 2017) – Condor Resources Inc. – (“Condor” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:CN) is pleased to announce that it has concluded a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Chakana Resources S.A.C. (“Chakana”) with respect to the Company’s wholly owned Soledad project in Ancash, Peru.
Under the terms of the MOU, Chakana has been granted an exclusivity period of 45 days to conclude its due diligence, and prepare a comprehensive agreement to replace the MOU. Pursuant to the MOU, Chakana has the option to earn a 100% interest in Soledad, over a period of 4.5 years, subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty in favour of the Company. To earn the 100% interest, Chakana is required to complete 12,500m of drilling (or work equivalent), make cash payments totaling US$5.375 million, and issue 500,000 Chakana shares to Condor. The 500,000 shares will be delivered when Chakana “goes public”. A non-refundable deposit of US$10,000 was received by Condor on signing the MOU.
The Soledad Au-Cu-Ag project is located in the newly emerging Mio-Oligocene copper-gold belt of the Cordillera Negra, in north central Peru. Soledad features a semicircular cluster of mineralized quartz-tourmaline breccia pipes exposed at surface, with the exposed surface area ranging up to 80m diameter, within a zone of interest that is about one kilometre in diameter.
Prior drilling at Soledad in 2016 produced compelling results, including a 119m interval from surface of 2.1 g/t AuEq (SDH-013: 1.30 g/t Au, 27.1 g/t Ag, 0.32% Cu), a 164m interval from surface of 1.5 g/t AuEq (SDH-014: 0.42 g/t Au,70.0 g/t Ag, 0.13% Cu), and a 490m interval from surface of 1.6 g/t AuEq (SDH-016: 0.74 g/t Au, 30.3 g/t Ag, 0.39% Cu). AuEq assumes US$1200/oz gold, US$16/oz silver, US$2.10/lb copper, and 100% recovery.
