Alturas Signs LOI for Two Gold Projects in the Maricunga Belt in Northern Chile
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 6, 2012) - Alturas Minerals Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ALT)(LMA:ALT) is pleased to report that it has entered into two Letters of Intent ("LOI") with Sociedad de Inversiones Gema Limitada ("Inversiones Gema" or the "Owner"), a Chilean mining exploration company, to acquire 100% of its Marilin and Quispe gold-(±copper) projects, located 95 km east-northeast and 165 km northeast of Copiapo, respectively. The projects are hosted within the prolific gold- and copper-mineralized Maricunga Belt, in Region III of northern Chile.
Miguel Cardozo, President & CEO of Alturas commented that "The Marilin and Quispe projects represent a key development for the Company in Chile, one of Latin America's premier mining jurisdictions. Alturas has now consolidated a high-quality project portfolio in the mineral-rich Chilean and Peruvian Andean chain and has made significant progress in its strategy of geographic diversification. Alturas has now established a firm presence in one of the most prolific gold-copper belts in the world: the Maricunga belt which hosts over 92 million ounces of gold and 13 billion pounds of copper in known resources. In both properties, Marilin and Quispe, high-grade gold-silver veins (previously subject to artisanal mining) together with extensive gold, silver and copper anomalism, hydrothermal brecciation, stockwork-veining and various alteration assemblages, indicate that these areas correspond to the uppermost epithermal levels of a porphyry system. The Company believes that significant potential exists for the discovery of gold-(±copper) bulk-tonnage mineralization".
Under the terms of the letters of agreement, Alturas has paid the sum of US$5,000 to Inversiones Gema upon the execution of each of the LOIs (US$10,000 in total) on May 30, 2012 and has until June 30, 2012 to complete a technical and legal due diligence, and to execute formal Option Agreements with Inversiones Gema to acquire 100% of the Marilin and Quispe properties.
If Alturas decides to execute any or both of the Option Agreements, the Company will have the option to acquire the projects over a term of four years by making staged cash payments to the Owner for a total of US$3.325 million for each of the projects (US$6.65 million in total if both option rights are exercised) over the four year period, including a US$30,000 payment upon signature for each project (US$60,000 in total, from which the US$10,000 paid to the Owner upon the execution of the letters of agreement will be deducted).
