Santa Fe Gold Announces Potential Contract to Acquire Two Permitted Mines
ALBUQUERQUE, Nov. 19, 2018 - Santa Fe Gold Corp. OTC (SFEG), a U.S. based mining company and owner of multiple mining claims, announced that it entered into a letter of intent to acquire two permitted mines.
The agreement contains an exclusivity provision through December 31, 2018 for the purpose of allowing the parties time to finalize due diligence and complete acquisition of mine assets.
The Company believes that it has agreed upon the economic terms of the transaction and, pending satisfactory due diligence and the procurement of at least $500,000 of financing, expects to enter into final documentation with the seller during calendar 2018.
The Company will announce the closing of this transaction through a press release and Form 8-K, should such closing occur.
Chairman Brian Adair Comments
We are very pleased with this exciting transaction as this is an important first step of our planned strategy to achieve near term production.
While there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed, we expect to close the acquisition as we believe the material terms have been agreed upon, due diligence has commenced, and we should be able to procure at least $500,000 to fund the initial payments that are currently contemplated to be due in calendar 2018.
We believe potential upside to this acquisition includes the fact that we should be able to enter into a contract arrangement to commence mining operations with an experienced mining crew that is familiar with this property and we expect that the ore can be shipped directly to smelters, without the need for processing plants, significant infrastructure or major capital investment.
We are also pleased to announce the appointment of highly experienced Daniel E Gorski as consulting geologist to oversee our proposed mining operations and resource development.
We paid $200,000 in October 2018 with respect to the Alhambra Mine acquisition and owe a balance of approximately $350,000 in calendar 2018 to complete the purchase.
We intend to bring our SEC filings current and into compliance as soon as practicable.
| The company has scheduled a special meeting of its shareholders for January 11, 2019, at which time it plans to update the shareholders on all operations and progress. |
