North Vancouver, BC, Canada, October 28, 2022 – Cascadero Copper Corporation (“Cascadero” or the “Company”) (TSXV:CCD) has provided an update on the proposal to form a new joint venture company (the “Proposed Joint Venture”) with Golden Minerals Company (“Golden Minerals”) with respect to the Desierto I and II concessions located in Salta, Argentina.
In mid-October 2022, Cascadero was informed by Golden Minerals that a recent ruling by the Salta Mining Court to invalidate the Desierto I concession is being appealed and that a decision on the appeal is not expected for approximately six months. By mutual agreement of the parties, Golden Minerals manages the Desierto I and II concessions in which Cascadero has a one-third interest.
Cascadero completed a rights offering on January 17, 2022 for gross proceeds of $1,500,649 and, as disclosed in the rights offering circular dated November 30, 2021, approximately $500,000 of the net proceeds would be used to participate in the Proposed Joint venture. At this time, this amount remains allocated to be used for the Proposed Joint Venture, which is now on hold until the appeal process to reinstate the Desierto I concession has been completed. Cascadero will provide further updates on the Proposed Joint Venture and the Desierto I concession reinstatement appeal as they develop.
The terms of the Proposed Joint Venture are set out in Cascadero’s news release dated November 25, 2021.
