Located 25km south of Yamana Gold’s El Peñon gold-silver mine, Loro en el Hombro is a property prospective for gold-silver veins, while Morsas is a large property located along the IOCG belt about 50km south-west of Lundin Mining’s Candelaria copper-gold mine.
The Culebra and Anaconda properties augment Revelo’s already considerable land position along the Eocene-Oligocene porphyry copper belt, and are located 60km south of BHP Billiton’s Escondida mine along the Domeyko fault system near Revelo’s Block 3 and Block 4, respectively.
As part of the acquisition, Revelo will grant BLC a royalty of 2% and 1% of net smelter returns from commercial production of precious metals and base metals respectively from each of the properties.
Following the start of commercial mineral production from each of the properties, Revelo will have the right to purchase one-half of the royalties of each of the properties for C$5m over a period of five years.
