"We are very excited to partner with the Andean Metals team on the drill-ready Luna Roja precious metals project in the prolific Deseado Massif region of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, home to world class mines like Cerro Negro (Newmont), Cerro Moro (Pan American Silver), Cerro Vanguardia (AngloGold Ashanti), as well as others. The Deseado Massif remains a significantly underexplored geological domain known for hosting large low sulphidation epithermal precious metals systems. The Luna Roja Project boasts an early-stage drill epithermal gold-silver discovery at Cruz del Sur and a 3-kilometre long zone of anomalous geochemistry that highlights the discovery potential of the Project. This transaction further supports our corporate strategy of leveraging our deep project portfolio to provide non-dilutive liquidity to advance our priority exploration assets, while maintaining upside exposure to these projects through a growing portfolio of equity ownership and royalties."
