"La Union represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a significant asset as we continue work to build shareholder value in the Company," commented Questcorp. President & CEO, Saf Dhillon. "We are extremely pleased to team up with the expertise of John-Mark Staude and the Riverside technical team to unlock the full potential of the La Union project," he continued.
La Union project has high grades of gold (highlight grab samples of 83.2 and 59.4 g/t) and of zinc (highlight grab samples of 30% and 21.4%) with previous underground near surface mine operations. Riverside has identified over 8 targets, with the 3 highest priority targets hosting past mining activity. These targets demonstrate intriguing potential for large gold discoveries potentially above an even larger porphyry Cu district potential. The objectives of the first phase of further exploration will be to expand the mineralization footprints at these targets.
Questcorp cautions investors grab samples are selective by nature and not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the property.
President & CEO of Riverside, John-Mark Staude, stated, "We are excited to work with Questcorp to carry out further exploration work on La Union's multiple targets we have worked up through extensive field activity. Riverside has consolidated the mineral tenure into an aggregated district play and worked with surface owners to obtain access and set up the project for immediate advancement."
Riverside will remain the program operator for the Project during the term of the option using its local team based in Hermosillo, Sonora. Following exercise of the option, Riverside will retain a two-and-one-half percent (2.5%) net smelter returns royalty on commercial production from the Project.
