Valterra Acquires the Los Reyes Cu-Au Project, Chihuahua, Mexico

President Lawrence Page Q.C. stated, “this opportunity to acquire an option to purchase this property on favorable terms came about through relations developed over the past several years of doing business in Mexico. The Los Reyes property satisfies all the elements required to develop a property into production such as deal terms, infrastructure, favorable political climate and historic values. These factors may well lead to success through exploration to be commenced upon permit approval expected in approximately three months. Addition of this property to our portfolio of the Swift-Katie copper gold property in B.C. and the Weepah gold property in Nevada, both of which are permitted for drilling, allows us to expand our scope of operations into three miner-friendly jurisdictions.”

Defiance Acquires MAG Silver’s Zacatecas Silver District Holdings; MAG Becomes Strategic Shareholder

Dr. Peter Megaw, MAG’s Chief Exploration Officer commented, “With the Zacatecas Silver District consolidating, MAG was approached by a number of companies looking to acquire its holdings in the camp. MAG chose to partner with Defiance because of our long-held interest in the exploration potential of the Veta Grande Vein, the second most important vein in the billion-ounce Zacatecas silver district. A number of high-grade ore-shoots have been found along its length and the ability to expand exploration to a continuous 5.6 km stretch of this historically under-explored vein greatly enhances the potential for discovering more. This strategic interest in Defiance provides MAG with exposure to the upside of future discoveries as their exploration of this important vein advances.”
