Antioquia is also pleased to announce that in accordance with its strategic decision to focus on developing to production its Cisneros assets, has reached an agreement with Sorotama and Miranda Gold (Miranda) for its Concordia Betulia prospects and rights.

Miranda acquired 2 properties of the Concordia Betulia prospects (one concession and one application) totaling approximately 10,700 Ha. through an agreement with Antioquia. Oribella as the Miranda project is now called, is subject to a 0.5% royalty to Antioquia that can be purchased for US$1,500,000 and a 2% royalty to Soratama Gold (a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation).

Miranda acquired the property, subject to the royalties, by agreeing to pay the licence canon due on May 14, 2014 of COP110,803,026 (approximately US$58,000) and to reimburse Antioquia Gold for the application payment of COP101,136,976 (approximately US$53,000) when it is registered with the ANM as a contract. If the application is converted to a licence on or before the anniversary of the agreement Miranda will pay Antioquia an additional US$30,000 payment on the anniversary date. No other obligations are required to keep the project in good standing and Miranda may drop or reduce the lands at any time.
