The survey's original cost was about $300,000 (U.S.). Almaden paid $15,000 (U.S.) for 100 per cent of the claims and survey data subject to a 2-per-cent net smelter royalty capped at $500,000 for any production from the Reyna Negra claims. The Reyna Negra claims are tied on to the Caballo Blanco claim group. Almaden's Caballo Blanco project covers a large alkalic, volcanic and intrusive system with significant alteration zones containing both disseminated and vein gold and silver zones, and a porphyry-style gold-copper zone. The Reyna Negra claims were staked as tie-on ground adjacent to the Caballo Blanco property. Almaden plans to start extending its Highway zone grid onto the Reyna Negra property in mid-October. |
