Affinity Gold Corp. (AFYG.pk) ("Affinity" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that on December 18th it has entered into a five-year definitive mineral lease agreement with option to purchase on 1800 hectares located just 1 kilometer to the south of the Company's current 500 hectare property.
According to the terms of the definitive agreement, Affinity will pay a total of sixty thousand dollars (USD $60,000) over the first six months of the mineral lease agreement and seven and a half (7.5%) percent of gross production income to the land owner. Upon closing, Affinity delivered $15,000 USD and has the obligation to pay an additional $45,000 USD by the end of the 6-month period.
Affinity will have a total of twelve (12) months to conduct exploration studies on the 1800 hectares. Upon completion of the exploration phase, the Company will have an additional twelve (12) months before production is to be established at a minimum of 1,000 cubic meters per day.
Property Highlights:
- Similar geologic composition as the Company's existing 500 hectares 1 kilometer to the north
- Entire 1800 hectares hugs the Inambari River, one of the most important river systems in the region
- Concessions are located along the Inter Oceanic Highway providing access year round
"Considering the data contained in our 2009 technical report for our existing 500 hectares and the close proximity of the additional 1800 hectares we can begin to extrapolate the potential quantities of gold the combined 2300 hectares may contain," stated President & CEO Corey Sandberg. Mr. Sandberg went on to state, "our goal is production and that's where we're headed in 2013 with the addition of this property."
