Orovero provides Corporate Update
05.02.2014 | FSCwire
White Rock, British Columbia CANADA, February 05, 2014 /FSC/ - Orovero Resources Corp. (OVR - TSX Venture, GA0 - Frankfurt),("Orovero" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a number of corporate developments:Comprehensive Study
The Company has modified its ore processing strategy and now intends to construct a larger plant than initially anticipated, with throughput capacity of approximately 100 tonnes per day. It is believed that a higher throughput can provide enhanced operational efficiencies and improved economies of scale. As a result, the Company has commenced an independent comprehensive study (the "Study") which will serve as a valuable build-out tool and assist with future financing initiatives.
The Study will utilize several consultants and will provide details on items such as location selection, logistics and mapping, sampling and ore purchase protocols, engineering, timelines, budgeting, personnel and permitting. The study will take approximately 16 weeks to complete and will be funded by cash on hand.
A critical component of the Study is a two-phase survey that has already commenced. It is a five week study and will be be overseen by a Peru based geological firm. Current governmental surveys provide little detail of existing small and artisanal mining operations and therefore, the Company intends to compile a proprietary report of small and artisanal mining activity, ore flow patterns, and existing ore processing plants. Such information is required before selecting a location in which to build or purchase an existing plant.
"We have identified several opportunities in the marketplace due to the widespread inefficiencies of the industry. Our Study will demonstrate a very credible plan to capitalize on those opportunities and provide our financing partners with capital cost certainty. We look forward to sharing progress reports with our stakeholders," stated Len Clough, President & CEO of Orovero.
Administration
The new administration team (as announced January 3, 2014) has taken steps to significantly reduce expenditures. Every expense has been reviewed thoroughly and the Company feels confident that every effort to reduce expenses has been taken. These savings will be reallocated to completing the Study.
Other
The Company has elected to withdraw from the share exchange financing arrangement with Global Resources Investments Ltd., as announced on October 28, 2013 and November 7, 2013.
In addition, the Company will not be progressing toward a binding partnership agreement pursuant to the letter of intent announced on October 23, 2013. Both parties have mutually agreed to terminate the letter of intent.
