First Colombia Signs Memorandum of Understanding on Nile Mine Project
The project comprises approximately 55 acres and is located in the Marysville Mining District in Lewis and Clark County. It is comprised of the Nile Mine, a former lead, silver, and gold mine, and the nearby TG placer claim. The Nile Mine is reported to have had production from the 1890's to the 1940's, and has underground workings indicating a 90 foot shaft with 300 feet of drifts, as well as an 825 foot crosscut. The TG placer claim has tailings from a former producer with indications of both silver and gold values. Initially, the Company plans to complete initial due diligence and compile historical data. We also plan to commence surface and geological mapping, surface sampling, and conduct metallurgical testing of tailings present on the TG placer claim. Our plans also call for obtaining the required permits for rehabilitation efforts to gain safe access to underground workings, so additional sampling programs will be possible.
The MOU contemplates the signing of a definitive agreement within one hundred and eighty days after initial due diligence and initial exploration have been conducted on the property. After paying all filing fees and fees for consulting time, the contemplated definitive agreement envisages the company acquiring a fifty percent participating interest in the project. First Colombia has agreed to a minimum work commitment in 2013 increasing in 2014 according to requirements of a contemplated definitive agreement, and preparation of an initial exploration plan, referred to above. Further information is available in our 8k filing on this project.
