By GlobalDataHighlander Silver president and CEO David Fincham said: “We very much appreciate the continued support from Richard Warke and the Lundin family, and we are delighted to welcome Eric Sprott as a new strategic investor in Highlander.
“The funds from this private placement will go towards advancing technical and community work focused on unlocking value at the bonanza grade gold silver San Luis project in Peru to the benefit of all our stakeholders.”
Highlander Silver signed an agreement to acquire the project from SSR Mining late last year. This deal includes an upfront cash payment, along with deferred consideration that is contingent on the fulfilment of certain milestones.
The agreement allows SSR to retain a 4% net smelter return royalty on the project.
