Cangold Limited Re-Prices Non-Brokered Financing
As previously announced, the Company has signed a formal option agreement whereby Cangold will be granted an option to acquire from Vista Gold Corp. ("Vista"), up to a 100% interest (subject to certain underlying royalties) in the mining rights to the Guadalupe de los Reyes Project in Sinaloa, Mexico. Subject to the receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval, the net proceeds of the placement will be used to make option payments, for initial work on the project, and for general working capital.
The Guadalupe de los Reyes Project comprises 6,302 hectares, covering a past-producing district dating back to 1772. A Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") carried out on the project by Tetra Tech for Vista on March 4, 2013 estimated an Indicated resource of 6.8 million tonnes at a grade of 1.73g/t gold and 28.71g/t silver (380,100 oz gold and 6,315,300 oz silver) as well as an Inferred resource of 3.2 million tonnes at a grade of 1.49g/t gold and 34.87g/t silver (155,200 oz gold and 3,639,000 oz silver) at a cut-off grade of 0.50 g Au per tonne.
Cangold is considering the resource in the PEA to be an historical estimate as Cangold's qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the estimate as a current mineral resource for Cangold, as per National Instrument 43-101 requirements.
Robert Brown, P. Eng., Director and VP Exploration for Cangold is the Qualified Person for the Company. He has reviewed the technical information referenced above and has approved this news release.
