Mr. Bruce Bragagnolo, CEO of Timmins Gold, stated, "The acquisition of Caballo Blanco accomplishes our strategic goal of adding a highly prospective gold mining project at an attractive valuation in Mexico, a very familiar, well-established and low-risk mining jurisdiction."
"We believe Caballo Blanco is an extremely promising project, even at current gold prices, and we look forward to optimizing the current PEA mine plan while continuing to execute our growth objectives."
Under the terms of the Agreement, Timmins Gold has acquired Caballo Blanco for consideration of US$10 million in cash plus the issuance of 16,065,000 Timmins Gold shares. These shares are subject to a 4 month hold period expiring April 24, 2015. Timmins Gold has also agreed to pay to Goldgroup a contingent payment of an additional US$5 million when Caballo Blanco receives approval for its Environmental Impact Statement or Timmins Gold undergoes a change of control. The additional payment, if made, can be paid at Timmins Gold's option in cash or Timmins Gold shares.
