To help our new and existing investors better understand existing operations and future objectives, Lida CEO, Leonard De Melt, is pleased to provide the following corporate updates. The San Vincente Property is the Company's principle property and the main focus for the Company.
San Vicente Property
The San Vicente Property ("Property") is located approximately 120 kilometers east of the coastal city of Trujillo, Peru in the district of Agallpampa, Province of Otuzco. The Property is located in the occidental part of the Tertiary Volcanic Belt of the Western Cordillera and is underlain by rocks of the Calipuy Formation, a precious and base metals metallotects formation found in Peru. The Calipuy Formation is the product of post tectonic volcanism in the Cordillera region.
Lida has acquired the San Vicente mine which was in production of gold and silver concentrate until 2011.
Lida has an agreement in place with the local community ("San Vicente Bajo La Union") for surface rights of 2,500 metres surrounding the mine opening and is in discussions to obtain further surface rights. The agreement gives Lida a permit for surface use for a period of 20 years. The rest of the surface rights are held by the communities of San Vicente Bajo La Union and San Vicente Alto La Union. The majority of the ground in the Concession is controlled by San Vicente Bajo La Union. Lida
To date, exploration at the San Vicente Property has consisted of surface and underground mapping, mining exploration drives along structures and channel sampling of exploration drives. The surface and underground mapping conducted on the Property by the previous owner produced 187 samples from 66 channels, identifying three (3) mineralized structures. The Corporation will strive to supplement the activities conducted by previous owner with the planned Stage One activities in order to further evaluate the San Vicente Property.
Plans Going Forward.
Lida is presently reviewing numerous additional concessions in Peru. The Peruvian Government commenced a four-month amnesty period beginning January 15, 2020 allowing new and existing mining operations another opportunity to register with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, to demonstrate their compliance with environmental and safety regulations and remit taxes on sales of extracted minerals. As indicated, this represented a renewed window of opportunity within the mining sector to potentially increase the market supply of mineral rich material.
The initial results from re-opening the formalization process have been positive as the number of miners registered has grown 22% to an estimated 66,000 in March 2020, from approximately 54,000 as of January 2020. Lida is reviewing this opportunity and plans to potentially buy a number of these mines.
Stage One work on the San Vicente Property will be divided into two parts, with the first part consisting of initial evaluation, survey of the Property, map out surface, infrastructure and improve local access roads and the second part consisting of detail surface and geological mapping, Geophysics, channel sampling and drilling. The estimated budget for completing both parts of Stage One is $250,000 to $300,000, with an expected time frame of 4 months
