Santa Fe Gold to Acquire Mogollon Property for $4.5 Million in Deferred Payments

19.09.2012  |  Business Wire

Santa Fe Gold Corporation (OTCBB: SFEG) is pleased to announce it
has entered into an option agreement with Columbus Silver Corporation
(CSC: TSX-V), whereby Santa Fe may acquire the Mogollon Project, Catron
County, New Mexico, for payments aggregating $4,500,000 scheduled to be
paid through the end of 2014. The Mogollon Project encompasses most of
the Mogollon district in southwest New Mexico, which has substantial
recorded historical production of silver and gold.


'This acquisition fits our strategic objective of developing new ore
sources to augment ore currently processed through our flotation mill at
Lordsburg,? stated Pierce Carson, CEO. 'The Mogollon district contains
partially drilled silver and gold deposits that hold promise for new
mines, and those deposits will be our initial focus. The district also
offers a number of excellent exploration targets with potential for
discovery of multi-million ounce silver-gold deposits.?


On signing the agreement, Santa Fe paid Columbus Silver $100,000. The
payment schedule calls for Santa Fe to pay a further $150,000 within 3
business days of approval of the agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange,
US$500,000 on or before December 31, 2012, and four payments of $937,500
each on June 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, June 30, 2014, and December
31, 2014. Additionally, Santa Fe must maintain the property in good
standing by paying underlying claim and lease payments.


During the option earn-in period, Santa Fe will have full access to the
property, and among other things will have the right to conduct surface
and underground exploration, development and mining activities in
preparation for commercial mining.


The agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. If such
approval is not obtained, the agreement will terminate and any payments
made by Santa Fe to Columbus Silver must be refunded with 5% simple
interest thereon.


Upon TSX Venture Exchange approval, Santa Fe and Columbus Silver will
enter into a mutual release regarding the previous plan of arrangement
between the parties, which expired by its terms on May 31, 2012.
Approximately $1,060,000 was advanced by Santa Fe to Columbus Silver in
connection with the foregoing, and the parties will acknowledge that the
funds are non-refundable.

Additional Information:

The option agreement contains other
terms and conditions, and a full copy is included as an Exhibit to Santa
Fe′s Current Report on Form 8-K, which it will file promptly with the
SEC and will be available at www.sec.gov
and also may be accessed via www.sedar.com.
