bonus payments totaling $1.5 million CDN will be paid in cash or shares if certain milestones are met.
The Property is located 210 kilometres southeast of Lima in the Huancavelica department situated at the
northern extension of Southern Coastal porphyry belt. First Quantum Minerals Ltd. ("First Quantum")
explored the Property from 2016 to 2018. First Quantum
drilled 8,699 metres in 11 holes in two
campaigns. Five main mineralized zones were identified by the Company and First Quantum; Kiosko, El
Corral, NW Corral, La Quebrada and the Renaldo Zones. The El Corral and NW Corral Zones are the
most prospective for Cu-Au porphyry mineralization. The Renaldo and Kiosko Zones are considered a
high-level, gold-silver precious metal target and have not been drill tested.
Transactions Details
The LOI will allow Gold State to conduct its due diligence in order to execute a definitive agreement by
January 15
th
, 2022. An initial payment of $10,000 CDN has been received by the Company. Upon
signing the definitive agreement, the Property will be transferred to Gold State who will pay Peruvian
Metals' subsidiary Hatum Minas $200,000 US and issue Peruvian Metals 9,275,000 shares. The shares
will be escrowed with 50% having a four-month hold and the remaining 50% having an eight-month
hold. This transaction is arm's length and no finder's fee is being paid.
Bonus/Milestone payments include CAD$750,000 on or before the completion date of 10,000 metres of
drilling at the Project, and an additional CAD$750,000 on or before the completion date of 20,000
metres of drilling at the Project. At the sole election of GOST, these payments can be made in cash or by
issuance of common shares of Gold State at the value to be determined at the time of issuance
determined by market value, provided that such issuance would not result in PER holding 10% or more
of the issued and outstanding shares of Gold State following such issuance.
In addition, GOST will grant on the Closing Date to Peruvian Metals a one percent (1.0%) net smelter
return royalty (the "Royalty") on the Project upon the terms and conditions of a transferable net smelter
royalty agreement to be agreed upon between the parties. Gold State shall have a right of first refusal in
the event that Peruvian Metals receives a third party offer for the Royalty to purchase the Royalty on the
same terms and conditions as such third-party offer.
Jeffrey Reeder, CEO of Peruvian Metals, comments: "The Company is very pleased to have successfully
divested another non-core asset to a new group. The Panteria Project has multiple untested Cu-Au
porphyry style and high-level Au-Ag targets that need to be explored. Management of Gold State has
considerable operational experience in Peru which will allow Peruvian Metals to focus on its core
business model developing high grade precious and base metal assets in Northern Peru. We are
fortunate to receive an early ground floor share position in this new Peruvian exploration company.
This
transaction shows the Company's ability to generate quality prospects and Peruvian Metals will continue
to apply for concessions in new areas throughout Peru."
