This credit line gives the company enough flexibility to implement an extensive exploration program and in parallel to increase gold production. And naturally enough financial buffer to the litigation successfully brought to an end. This is about a compensation for Ascot Mining in the amount of approximately $ 37 million! And since the other side has no other assets, Ascot Mining is likely in our opinion, the property will be awarded to La Toyota.
More than 300,000 ounces of gold in addition to the expected business valuation of Ascot Mining accounts for around 30-60 million dollars - if one evaluates only the ounces in the ground. When Ascot Mining can also promote these ounces, we're talking, of course, very different sums, assuming a profit margin of 1400-1500 USD per ounce!
In a desperate attempt, the opposing side in a smear campaign against Costa Rica, Ascot Mining started and failed miserably. For the fifth October 2011 at 9:30 clock is now a hearing before the Criminal Court of Puntarenas been scheduled. If Mr. Chamorro there should actually appear, should probably have the click of handcuffs. In any case, we expect a positive decision for Ascot Mining!
In the meantime, the technical Ascot Mining NI 43-101 compliant reports to the Chassoul, El Recio and Tres Hermanos get-properties. The experts evaluate the exploration potential at Tres Hermanos on alone over 1 million ounces of gold. While the planned AIM listing like attracts gum, Ascot Mining could with the available documents are now implementing a listing on the TSX, before the change is completed at the AIM.
Gold production at the mine Chassoul could be stabilized by now, but still running at a moderate rate of production. Thanks Now that the acquisition of two companies in Costa Rica - which were already binding contracts - are now also the rights and licenses for all El Recio and Tres Hermanos-estate on a 100% subsidiary of Ascot Mining passed. The exploration program should generate a substantial cash flow, interestingly enough, since the recovered gold bearing material to be processed in the Chassoul mine. This is the exploration program (total cost $ 4.5 million) for the most part self-financing.
CONCLUSION: Over the past few months has brought an extensive Ascot Mining Expert team on board. From well-informed sources, we have learned that now a renowned General Manager shall be required for the activities in Costa Rica. It is a mining engineer Dan Callaghan. He has over 30 years experience in the mining industry and was responsible for among other things, Placer Dome and Barrick North America as a senior manager. That would be a top-obligation!
"It is better to mine it than to define it" - this statement is still valid. Ascot Mining will follow the gold-bearing veins in the soil, encouraging the gold, and demonstrate "the way" gold reserves. Medusa Mining has practiced this model successfully, Ascot Mining makes it now.
