Almaden Enters Into Mill Purchase Option Agreement; Significantly Reduces Capital Cost of Ixtaca “Ramp-Up” Scenario
Morgan Poliquin, President and CEO of Almaden, commented: “This is a significant transaction for Almaden. This mill is very well suited to the flow-sheet we envisage at our Ixtaca project in Mexico, and represents the same throughput as we outlined in our ‘ramp-up’ scenario in our PEA Update announced in September, 2014. Furthermore, we can acquire this infrastructure for substantially less than the cost estimated for brand new equipment in that PEA Update. For several years we have been dealing with very challenging market conditions for mineral exploration and development as metal prices have fallen along with sentiment. At Almaden we have a long-term view and look for the opportunities that such markets bring. We are very excited by the opportunities that this transaction could provide.”
