The Company decided not to pay by October 22nd, 2014 the obligatory $40,000 option payment as required by the Option Agreement on the Hidden Valley project described in the Company's news release dated November 01, 2013. The expired option agreement pertains to 5 claims with an area of 5,115 hectares from a total of 24 contiguous claims with an area of 7,832 hectares. Argonaut retains 19 contiguous High Gold property claims with the area of 2,717 hectares which remain in good standing until the year 2020.
Ray Cook, President and C.E.O. states: "Argonaut has been continuously pursuing financing and asset sale or option agreement opportunities for the past 3 years. Interest has been expressed in the Company and its' assets, however, funding opportunities remain elusive and highly dilutive within the current historically low evaluations of junior exploration resource company markets and assets. Every effort will be continued by the board to re-establish the viability of the Company and the value of its assets in the months and years to come."
