Eloro Resources Makes Strategic Investment in Iska Iska
Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE: P2QM) has made a significant move by completing a US$1,500,000 option payment to Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. This investment is part of Eloro's strategy to secure a 100% interest in the Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project in Bolivia. With this payment, the company now has a final cash payment of US$1,150,000 due shortly.
Details of the Option Agreement
The option agreement outlined a total payment requirement of US$10,000,000 for Eloro to gain full ownership of Iska Iska. A notable aspect of the agreement is the credit for the US$1,800,000 spent by Eloro on exploratory activities related to the nearby Mina Casiterita property. This expenditure can be applied towards the Mina Casiterita / Mina Hoyada option agreement, reflecting Eloro's strategic approach to maximizing its investments in the region.
To finalize the acquisition of the Mina Casiterita / Mina Hoyada properties, Eloro must deliver a cash payment of US$1,800,000 within a year from the acquisition of the mining rights. Additionally, upon the transfer of the properties, Eloro will issue 200,000 common shares to the titleholder, marking a significant advancement in their portfolio.
