Vangold Mining Secures Surface Access and Land Use Agreements at
Company’s El Pinguico Gold and Silver Mine
February13, 2019 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Vangold Mining Corp. (the “Company” or
“Vangold”) (TSXV:VAN) is pleased to announce it has secured a surface land access agreement,
and a surface land use agreement for its El Pinguico gold and silver mine located 7km south of
the city of Guanajuato, Mexico.
These agreements will provide the Company with long-term convenient and efficient road access
to the El Pinguico mine; and use of ample open acreage on the surface of the El Pinguico mine,
Vangold’s primary mining concession.
Land Access Agreement:
The Company has signed a land access agreement with the local Ejido group - Ejido Calderones -
from the town of Calderones, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, located adjacent to Vangold’s
El Pinguico mine holdings. The agreement allows for unrestricted road access for exploration and
mining equipment and personnel to El Pinguico through the community of Calderones. The 15-
year agreement will provide crews with long-term access to the project via the area’s safest and
most direct route. Under the agreement Vangold will make an initial payment of approximately
$7,100 Canadian dollars. The Company will then make annual payments of approximately $2,100
Canadian dollars, adjusted yearly for inflation.
CEO James Anderson stated: “Vangold Mining is very grateful to our neighbours from Calderones
for allowing us this road access. We look forward to working with the community of Calderones
in a continued spirit of neighbourly friendship and cooperation and anticipate providing job
opportunities to the local population in the years to come.”
Land Use Agreement:
The land use agreement was signed with a local landowner and encompasses a total of 89.6
hectares covering important portions of the surface of the El Pinguico mining claims. The two-
year agreement allows Vangold to build additional roads and do all things necessary to build or
re-establish a mine. The agreement also gives Vangold an option to purchase the land outright
after the two-year term. Vangold director Hernan Dorado Smith commented, “The Ramirez
family who own the land are a prominent business family within the Guanajuato community;
they have had an interest in the El Pinguico mine for over 50 years. These surface access and use
agreements, together with Vangold’s existing mining rights, provide the Company with all key
land components necessary to carry out its planned exploration and operational activities at El
Pinguico.” Under this agreement Vangold has made an initial payment of approximately $1,700
Canadian dollars. After 12 months, the Company will then commence making monthly payments
of approximately $140 Canadian dollars.
