Isleworthspy. Some points I agree with within your post and others I don't. Firstly I don't believe negotiations will run in to next year, I do not expect an RNS every month saying still ongoing etc. It was made clear all parties were in a bit of a hurry, it was also made clear that majors are still paying for anything regarding Anza and that c&m covers this year, and previous overspend covers this year, but moving forward the agreement has exploration costs that majors I would assume would be tied too as per phase 2 agreements.
I also disagree re having an impact on price. Having 100pc direct/ indirect control, being in amongst a drill program, getting results, and possibly having a JV partner/ finance are huge triggers for a company such as Omi. Most of these will have the market alot more at ease, not many shares swirling about. If this news does not move the price considerably I would be shocked. History tells us this moves on positive news. Coming out of C&M is absolutely massive for Omi. Other companies recently have moved like the wind on far far less.
I do however like your thinking re Agnico. Everyone posting just expect it is bye bye majors, Omi left high and dry and trying to fend for itself. The previous correspondence stated 100pc direct/ indirect control and commercially sensitive data. I think some kind of finance JV with Agnico is a good shout.
Way back Orosur has completed a preliminary geological model for the Aragon-Pastorera Trend Area which was based on 17,408m of existing diamond core drilling data from 53 holes previously drilled. 3,000m of this core has been re-logged, with special attention given to the lithology, alteration suites, structural trends and grade distribution.
Based on this information, a geological estimate of an exploratory gold potential of a portion of APTA had been prepared with the assistance of Mine Development Associates (“MDA”) of Reno, Nevada.
The resulting potential ranges between 1.6 M - 2.3 M tonnes averaging between 3.2 - 3.7g/t Au. This estimate is based on drilling around 7 years ago and nearly double the amount of drilling has happend since. Wonder what the models say now, when we now have a discovery at Pepas?
The Company believed at that time the mineralized zones in the APTA continue, both at depth and at the surface, to the north and south of the limited area which has been analysed to date and included in the preliminary model. As such, there is the potential for a much larger resource base to be identified.
Just to note The Anzá project has existing mine and environmental permitting, and its existing infrastructure, including camps, roads, power and water, are in good standing.
The also has environmental permits enabling both underground and open-pit mining operations. The Anzá project includes two small underground gypsum mines, each of which also have environmental and mining permits granted by the Colombian authorities. Historically, the gypsum mines and
