Nikolaos Cacos , President & CEO of the Company stated, "We are very pleased to welcome a mining professional of Mr. Rivera's caliber to steer the team in Argentina and help to drive the advancement of Ivana towards potential production. He has hit the ground running and in just a few short weeks has helped to establish an efficient and cost-effective operating structure for JVCO and integrated our experienced teams into the new company. He has also overseen bids for engineering groups and supervised the planning of the next phase of exploration drilling for the project. We look forward to an energetic program in the coming months that will continue to build value at this exciting project."
JVCO is currently vetting engineering groups to support the planned prefeasibility/feasibility study for the Ivana deposit and expects to establish new contracts in the following months. At the same time, the new company is initiating an exploration drilling program to test for new resources. The planned campaign includes up to 6,000 metres of Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling in approximately 315 shallow holes. The drilling will step out up to two kilometers surrounding the Ivana deposit and will include testing a previously undrilled target area called "Bajo Huenteleo". This target is considered highly prospective for uranium mineralization but until recently was inaccessible due to persistent flooding conditions. The campaign is expected to continue over approximately the next six months.
The programs are fully funding via the Agreement, in which COAM will fund cumulative expenditures of US$35 million to acquire a 49.9% indirect equity interest in the Ivana deposit, and then has the further right to earn up to an 80% equity interest in JVCO by completion of a feasibility study and funding the costs and expenditures up to US$160,000,000 to develop and construct the project to commercial production, subject to the terms and conditions in the Agreement.
JVCO Operating Details
Mr. Rivera will report to the Board of JVCO, composed by members representing the interest of each party. In order to maximize the use of funds, both partners will provide support work in lieu of hiring dedicated teams. Administrative functions including Purchasing, Finance and Legal will be supported by affiliates of Corporación América, while roles such as Environmental, Properties and Databases will continue to be assumed by the Grosso Group team that Blue Sky has used since its inception. All field personnel including the three geologists and the previous Project Manager will join JVCO, maintaining technical continuity.
