Zacatecas Silver Corp., through its subsidiary Desarrollos Mineros Zacatecas Silver, has signed a definitive option agreement with Heliostar Metals to acquire a 100% interest in four exploration properties located in Sonora and Oaxaca, Mexico. This acquisition includes the Oso Negro, Cumaro, La Lola, and Ejutla properties, which are recognized for their high-grade gold and silver mineralization potential. The transaction involves a total payment of US $450,000 to be made over three years, alongside the issuance of US $750,000 in common shares. Notably, the Oso Negro property presents an undrilled high-grade discovery opportunity, while Cumaro is strategically located near Coeur Mining's active development. The La Lola property spans 1,183 hectares and features a significant vein system, and Ejutla covers 10,603 hectares with indications of Carlin-style mineralization. This acquisition is expected to significantly bolster Zacatecas Silver's exploration efforts in these promising mining jurisdictions.
