MINERA MARIANA
Minera Mariana
On January 22, 2021 the Company completed an agreement with Capella Minerals to acquire 100% of its Argentine subsidiary Minera Mariana Argentina. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid the purchase price consisting of an initial payment of $50 thousand and $1,769 (CAD$2,250) by the issuance of 1,666,667 common shares of the Company to Capella Minerals at a deemed share price of CAD$1.35, based on the price of the Company’s shares in the concurrent financing associated with listing on the TSX Venture Exchange via the announced business combination between BB1 and the Company.
The principal assets owned by Minera Mariana include the Las Calandrias and Los Cisnes projects (together the “Projects”). The Projects are located in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina. In total, the Projects consist of approximately 60,400 ha with the bulk of the land holdings on the property adjacent to Cerrado’s MDN gold mine property.
The most advanced project at this time at Minera Mariana is the Las Calandrias gold and silver project, which borders the northern boundary of Cerrado’s MDN property. The main focus of work to date on the Projects has been on the Calandria Sur and Calandria Norte deposits. These deposits are characterized as low to intermediate sulphidation, epithermal-precious-metal quartz vein and vein-breccia types.
