The Agreement is structured as a surface lease with the communal landowners and has an initial term of 15 years. The Agreement applies to substantially all of the land required for Cerro Jumil and provides for continued exploration and development as well as for the planned construction and operation of a mine at the project.
Greg Smith, President and CEO, commented, "I would like to express my appreciation to the communal landholders for their continued support of Cerro Jumil. Further, I want to reiterate the Company's commitment to cooperating closely with the communal landholders and the local stakeholders generally to ensure mutual benefit from the Company's activities in the area. This agreement is a key step in the permitting process and in advancing Cerro Jumil to production."
The Agreement was reached through the "Fomento a la Inversion Publica y Privada en la Propiedad Rural" (the "FIPP program"). The FIPP program is a voluntary federally funded and administered government program in Mexico that encourages more efficient and productive use of rural land, facilitates a shared investment between rural landowners and public and private investors and ensures legal certainty exists for all parties.
