In 2018, Patagonia divested COSE to Pan American Silver, which ceased operations at the site in 2022 after extracting the main known mineral deposit.

Patagonia will now take on the property’s remaining closure expenses associated with environmental monitoring.

Completion of the current deal hinges on Patagonia fulfilling certain conditions within 30 days, including the assumption of existing net smelter return (NSR) royalties.

The reacquisition will allow Patagonia to consolidate its holding in the El Tranquilo concession block, which holds its Cap Oeste Project, together with several other prospects and mineral occurrences.
