GoldSands Announces Termination of Mineros SA Agreement
08 November 2012 - 4:37AM
Marketwired
GoldSands Development Company (OTCBB:GSDC) announces that the
agreement signed with Mineros S.A. on January 20, 2012 has been
terminated by Mineros SA effective immediately.
The Mineral Right Option and Joint Venture Agreement with
Mineros S.A. of Colombia, South America granted Mineros two
exclusive options entitling it to acquire up to an eighty-five
percent (85%) interest of GoldSands' ownership interest in 49
Mineral Rights Concessions located in Northeast Peru ("Mineral
Rights").
Mineros declared that the property does not meet its
requirements for the large-scale dredging operation that they were
seeking to develop. However they recognize that there may be
sufficient gold bearing channels that may be suitable for smaller
scale commercial gold production.
Goldsands is now evaluating its options towards continued
exploration and potential gold production.
About GoldSands Development Company
The Company's goal is to fully develop its Peruvian GoldSands
project. The Company's GoldSands project in Peru consists of
options on 461 square kilometers (178 square miles) of mining
property, the largest such block in the district. For thousands of
years, the waters of the Santiago and the Maranon rivers have been
carving their way through the gold-rich mountain canyons of the
Andes, carrying off gold and depositing it, as the river comes out
into the plain, in the loose gravels and sands - GoldSands - in the
area the Company now controls.
Results from test holes drilled during GoldSands' exploratory
drill program indicated the presence of alluvial gold in economical
quantities. While the Company considers results from the drill
programs and test mining production to be favorable, the Company
cautions that these results do not indicate the presence of a
commercially viable mineral deposit over most of the area and an
extensive amount of further exploration and funding is needed to
determine the full feasibility of the project.
The Company completed a social baseline study involving a series
of meetings with local residents and other stakeholders in the
region. The Company intends to work in an equitable, transparent,
and socially responsible manner with local communities, suppliers
and employees. The Company is committed to acting as stewards of
the local and regional ecological systems, behaving in an
environmentally responsible way, leaving a minimal "footprint" as a
result of our operations. The Company is working towards building
trust and sustaining relationships that go well beyond mining
operations. The full implementation of these programs will require
the Company to secure additional financing.
