BALTIMORE SILVER MINE UPDATE
Definitive Agreement Signed * Field Work begins September
Richmond, In: South American Gold (OTC QB: SAGD) is pleased to provide an update on its Baltimore Silver Mine project.
The Baltimore Silver Mine is a former producing silver mine in the years 1903 to 1960 located in Boulder County, Montana. South American Gold now owns forty acres of unpatented mining claims and leases sixty acres of patented mining claims bringing the total project to one hundred acres. We believe the property is prospective for a commercial silver deposit as historical information indicates that the property has not been explored systematically using modern exploration methods and technology. Our current activities include recently completed due diligence on the property, on-going review historical records, and planning our exploration program. We have signed a definitive lease with option to purchase agreement on
the property. Field work is beginning September with several objectives:
|
·
|
Conduct mapping activities to prepare updated geological maps, and guide drill target selection;
|
|
·
|
Assess status of underground workings and make preliminary assessment of rehabilitation tasks and costs;
|
|
·
|
Survey existing dump material on property at surface for tonnage, grades and sampling for metallurgical tests;
|
|
·
|
Surface survey work, soil sampling where recommended;
|
|
·
|
Determine if veins from the Baltimore Silver Mine extend onto the unpatented mining claims recently acquired ;
|
|
·
|
Reconnaissance exploration and review of regional geology to identify future acquisition targets in the area;
|
|
·
|
Begin preparation of necessary permits and bonding requirement applications where required.
|
Our prime project objective is to prepare and review a project assessment of potential for commercial production, and costs to implement a Phase I Exploration and Development program, and secondly determine exploration potential beyond the mine proper.
The Company as previously reported signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding to lease with option to purchase the Baltimore Silver Mine. It required a definitive agreement (“the agreement”) under the terms agreed, and the issuance of ten million shares of restricted common stock, and an option price of five hundred thousand dollars, and requires lease fees of twelve thousand dollars per year in cash and stock. The agreement has now been signed (further information available on our recently filed 8k). We have also acquired as part of the project two unpatented claims with no underlying royalties. A review of a map of the underground workings has identified areas of former production, and assays
conducted for Pegasus Gold in 1989 will be reviewed to guide locations for underground channel sampling provided underground access is obtained, prior to drill target selection. Progress will be determined also by the availability of working capital on terms acceptable to the Company.
