Chilean Metals has, upon receiving final approval from the TSXV, completed the acquisition of three Copper Gold projects from Cogonov Inc. ("Cogonov"). The Projects are referred to as Lynn, Parrsboro and Bass River. The Projects were acquired through the issuance of 20,500,000 common shares to Cogonov, who, in turn, will flow these shares through to their shareholders. No new control persons or insiders are expected to be created in Chilean Metals by the issuance of these Chilean Metals shares.
The three properties in central Nova Scotia are part of an advanced Iron Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) regional exploration program. The claims cover select IOCG exploration targets previously delineated by Minotaur Exploration (Australia) along the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone (CCFZ). The CCFZ is a 300 km long fault structure that hosts over 100 mineral occurrences, past producing mines and deposits of Iron Oxide, Copper, Cobalt, Gold, Nickel and Barite. These projects are part of an advanced IOCG exploration program to reinterpret and re-examine the mineral potential of Nova Scotia.
PJ Cruickshank, Chilean CEO, commented "We are very excited to close this 2nd stage Acquisition in Nova Scotia and further enhance our portfolio of exploration properties and projects. We are actively pursuing Joint Venture opportunities for these properties and are very pleased to be moving forward with these projects guided by our incredible Technical Team including Minotaur Australia. Additional information will be updated on our website soon".
