“As we watch the world reel from the effects of this terrible global pandemic, we want to ensure we are doing everything in our power to preserve value for our shareholders and be best positioned for the years ahead,” stated Robert Abenante, President and CEO of Marifil Mines.
“Historically, periods of extreme volatility and financial uncertainly result in a flight to safety for investors who want to preserve their capital. This has traditionally led to significant increases in the prices of precious metals, such as Gold. With the sale of our non-core assets in Argentina, we are shifting our focus and directing our resources there towards our majority owned, flagship San Roque property in Rio Negro province where we anticipate enhancing and expanding our precious metals endowed polymetallic mineral deposit discovery by metallurgical recovery testing and expansive drilling. For more information on this asset, please see our last press release dated September 12, 2019, “Marifil’s NI 43-101 Report on San Roque Confirms Positive Results” or refer to our website. The Company will also be looking to acquire more precious metal properties globally, to be well positioned in the coming years.” continued Mr. Abenante.
The Lithium assets in Catamarca province include the Ratones and Fraile claims, which Marifil acquired in 2017, while the Nickel-Copper claims in San Luis province include the Las Águilas owned and optioned claims.
Per the terms of the Agreement, Marifil will be receiving an aggregate of 26,666,667 common shares (the “Consideration Shares”) of GECC at a deemed issue price of $0.075 per share, for total deemed aggregate consideration of $2,000,000. In accordance with securities laws and the terms of the Agreement, the Consideration Shares will be subject to a pooling agreement providing for release in five tranches over 48 months.
“This sale is an arms length transaction and is the first step in the Company’s commitment to focus its portfolio on Gold and other precious metals assets. It is our intention to monetize our non-core assets and focus our efforts on building a strong precious metals portfolio to be best positioned to take advantage of the changing market conditions going forward,” concluded Mr. Abenante.
