Columbus Silver Corporation provides an update on the proposed acquisition of the Company by Santa Fe Gold Corporation. Under the definitive agreement governing the Acquisition, the Company and Santa Fe agreed to use best efforts to complete the Acquisition on or before March 31, 2012, with a final deadline of May 31, 2012. Though Columbus Silver has successfully completed all of its obligations to close the Acquisition, Santa Fe has not yet completed the conditions necessary to draw-down funds under its financing agreement with Waterton Global Value (Luxembourg) Sarl. Santa Fe has informed the Company that it is evaluating the aforementioned financing conditions and also exploring alternative methods of financing the Acquisition. Because Santa Fe has yet to provide funding for the Acquisition, it is unclear whether the Acquisition will complete by the Deadline or at all. The Company will provide further updates when additional information becomes available.
