History
Affinity Gold Corp. was formed in 2009 to facilitate the going public of its flagship project and become a publicly trading junior mining company listed in the U.S. on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTC BB) exchange.
In February 2009, Affinity Gold Corp. entered into a Letter of Intent with AMR Project Peru , S.A.C. ("AMR") to purchase the mining concession rights for 500 hectares of land in southeastern Peru near the Andean Mountains . AMR Project Peru , S.A.C. is a Peruvian holding company founded in 2005 for the purpose of facilitating the exploration, acquisition and development of mining concessions located within Peru .
On March 2, 2009, Affinity Gold Corp. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with AMR. The AMR Project covers 500 hectares represented by the physical mining concession Certificate No. 7996-2006-INACC-UADA granted to AMR by the Republic of Peru, National Institute of Concessions and Mining Cadastre on December 11, 2006, and includes all improvements, structures and equipment on and used by AMR on such mining concession rights (collectively, the "Mining Concession Rights"). The Mining Concession Rights are located in the Inambari River Basin of Puno, Peru.
On April 30, 2009, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with AMR, whereby the parties decided to amend the arrangement by changing the structure of the arrangement from an asset purchase agreement to a share exchange agreement resulting in AMR becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary upon closing of the share exchange agreement. In addition, under the Amendment Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement so it will no longer have any force and effect.
On May 8, 2009, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with AMR and all the shareholders of AMR, whereby we agreed to acquire 99.99% of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of AMR in exchange for the issuance of 12,000,000 shares of our Common Stock in aggregate to the shareholders of AMR on a pro rata basis in accordance with each AMR shareholders' percentage of ownership in AMR. Once the transaction closes, Affinity Gold Corp. will own and control the concession rights, through its wholly-owned subsidiary AMR Project Peru , S.A.C., for the 500 hectare area of land in southeastern Peru .
Cambalache Project: Currently in Production
Cambalache Project
Cambalache is Affinity Gold Corp.’s third project and the Company’s first site to be in production and generating revenue.
Estimated Project Potential
Below is an excerpt from a CPG's report after a recent visit to the mine.
"...previous mining operations exposed on the Veta 2 structure 500 meters of strike length and 280 meters of dip (height), of which the top 50 meters has not been considered for it has been extensively mined. Currently mining on Veta 2 is exposed that twp of the three vein splays (1 m avg width) are relatively unmined below the 555 level, over a strike of 200 meters and 40 meters dip. This is a volume of 16,000 m3, or 48,000 tons. This tonnage could become a mixture of reserves and measured/ indicated resources rapidly. The resource above could be called an indicated/inferred resource safely until a proper survey is completed. The 515 level crosscut has intercepted the Veta 2 mineralization, partially confirming its reported continuation to depth (reported workings in mineral to 335 meter level). I would suggest the rest of Veta 2 resource potential (500m x 200 m x 3 m) could be demonstrated to at least inferred/indicated status within a few months of reopening the old workings, new explorations and developments."
Estimated Resource Potential (based on reports and production results)
Estimated Grades: 11% Lead (Pb), 15 oz Silver(Ag), $542/T
Estimated Average Vein Dimension: Strike 500m, Depth 400m, Width 3m
Estimated Average Vein Potential: 1,800,000 Tons
Estimated Mineable Vein Potential: 450,000 Tons x $542 = $243.9 M
Three veins identified:
1.35 M T @ $542/T = $731.7M
MACHACHALA PROJECT
The Machacala Project is a hard rock property located in the District of Carabamba, province of Julcan, La Libertad region to the North of Peru, at an elevation of 3,300 meters above sea level. The property contains 966 hectares comprised of 18 contiguous concessions. It is approximately 110 miles southeast of the city of Trujillo, capital of the region, and 574 Km of Lima, capital of Peru.
The La Libertad is one of the largest Gold and Silver producing regions in Perú and in the World, including mines such as Yanacocha which is producing millions of Gold ounces annually; 42 kilometers east of the coastal city of Trujillo in northern Peru.
Machacala Project Highlights
Project offers near-term production potential from both tailings and underground.
Previously producing property with over 235,000 tons of ore mined with estimated average grades of 6.0g/t Au and 340g/t Ag
Large un-leached tailings pile on site
Volume Est.: 210,000 Metric Tone
Grade Est.: 1. 34 g/T Au 56.36g/T Ag (average grade)
Located in a well-known mining area.
Barrick Gold, Rio Alto Mining, and Southern Peak Mining are operating in region.
Exploration drilling programs from 1996 by Gold Hawk Resources, Meridian Gold, and Buenaventura.
Drilling totaled over 8,500 m in 45 core and RC drill holes (Meridian Gold, Gold Hawk Resources).
Metallurgical studies show 87% Au, 50% Ag recoveries in 24 hrs leaching on un-milled tailings, with re-milling (-400 mesh) shows increased recoveries to 90% Au, 73% Ag in 24 hrs leaching.
NOTE: Mine has multiple low sulphidation, epithermal Au-Ag veins on property of which thirteen have been identified and "only" four have been modestly exploited .
MINERAL RIGHTS:
966 hectares comprised of 18 contiguous mineral concessions
SURFACE RIGHTS:
150 hectares of surface rights. This is where the estimated 210,000 metric tons of tailings are located.
WATER RIGHTS:
Water rights to the nearby Carabamba reservoir. Additional source of water supply exists if necessary.
CARABAYA PROJECT (AMR)
T he Carabaya 500 hectare property is located along the Inambari River basin in the Puno region of Southeastern Peru. Archaeological researchers have claimed that the source of gold adorned by the Incas was from the Eastern slopes of the Andes. The Inambari Madre De Dios River system is relatively close to Cusco, Machu Pichu and other Inca ruins suggesting that this area may have been mined for centuries. In 1860 explorers found gold in the Rio Madre de Dios here, and later in the 20th Century the Corps of Mining Engineers catalogued this river as being rich in gold.
Currently there are 'illegal miners' all along the river and well upstream from the property indicating that the river banks as well as the terraces are auriferous and beg to be explored and mined. 'Illegals', using very poor mining methods, are pulling 1kg of gold per day just across the river from the Carabaya property.
Ownership: AMRs concession rights ownership is acknowledged through the issuance of Certificate No. 799602006 INACC-UADA , issued by Perus National Institute of Concessions and Mining Cadastre. The certificate was granted in October 2006 and later published and dated on December 11, 2006.
