Firma Holdings Acquires Processing Plant and Signs Joint Venture with Atlas II
HENDERSON, NV--(Marketwired - February 16, 2017) - Firma Holdings Corp. (OTC PINK: FRMA), through its subsidiary GracePoint Mining Corp, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Aldama Plant, the Aldama Groupings, and the establishment of what will be called, the "Aldama Project".
GracePoint has secured an exclusive tolling lease with the Aldama Merrill Crowe processing plant, including an option to purchase the company that controls the plant. The plant was completely refurbished in 2014, as a tolling facility, for the processing of local and regional ores and concentrates. The facility is in excellent condition, fully permitted, fully staffed, and immediately operational.
Initial Gold and Silver ore feed will come from the acquisition of the Aldama Groupings, a cluster of seven claims, along with multiple third party sources that have been identified.
In addition, GracePoint is excited to announce it has entered in to a binding agreement, with Atlas Minerals II, to acquire a 50% Joint Venture interest in the Aldama Project. The agreement calls for initial scheduled payments totaling $400,000; which will be used to produce from the Aldama Groupings, secure third party ore feed, and for the initiation of plant processing.
Mr. Ramiro Trevizo, Director and President of Mexican Operations, stated, "With our Mexican Headquarters located in the City of Chihuahua, and the Aldama Plant only 20 km away, there are efficiencies to the location of the Aldama Project. One of the keys to the Aldama project is the condition of the mill and the operating team at the Aldama Processing Plant. By securing an exclusive tolling arrangement, we can combine the acquisition of the Aldama groupings, along with other feed sources in the region, and begin to generate cash flow as early as March of 2017."
Mr. Francis Biscan Jr., Chairman and CEO of Firma Holdings Corp., stated, "I am very thankful to have talented team in Mexico and in the U.S. We have now secured three fully permitted production ready projects that each play a significant role in developing this company into a significant growth story."
