Positive Argentina Policy Changes Benefit Lindero Gold Project

05.01.2016  |  vom Unternehmen
Vancouver - Goldrock Mines Corp. (TSX.V GRM) ("Goldrock" or the "Company") reports on recent significant favourable changes in Argentina government policy and the resulting positive impact on the value and development of its attractive "shovel-ready" and fully permitted Lindero gold heap leach project located in the mine friendly province of Salta.

On December 16, 2015, the Argentina government eliminated currency controls by lifting the clamp on US Dollar purchases and allowing its citizens to purchase US Dollars freely for the first time in four years. This move by newly appointed President Mauricio Macri resulted in a unification of the foreign exchange market, effectively allowing the floating of the Argentina peso. The end to the artificially high official exchange rate mechanism immediately devalued the overvalued Argentina peso by 35%. The cheaper peso has the potential to lower Lindero's capital and operating costs, specifically in the areas of labour and services.

Concurrently, President Macri's administration eliminated export taxes on most agricultural and industrial products, specifically removing the 5% export duty on gold/silver dore. In addition, the removal of certain import restrictions will positively affect the Company during construction and allow for more rapid international sourcing of materials, and equipment. With many of the previously existing procurement challenges now eliminated, the planned construction activity and schedule at Lindero have been significantly de-risked.


ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

Paul Matysek, M.Sc., P.Geo, President and CEO
