Highlights
- Golden Arrow confirms equity acquisition by SSA in New Golden Explorations Chile SpA
- SSA fulfills contribution through cash, field development services, and a promissory note
- The San Pietro IOCG Project receives operational and financial reinforcement
Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (TSXV:GRG), operating within the TSX Mining Stocks and exploration sector, has announced a key development concerning its San Pietro Iron Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) Project in Chile. Sociedad de Servicios Andinos SpA has exercised a strategic agreement to acquire a significant ownership interest in New Golden Explorations Chile SpA, a company associated with the project.
Equity Option Finalized by Sociedad de Servicios Andinos
The exercised option grants SSA an equity position in NGE through a structured contribution, establishing its role as a key participant in the project. The shares acquired under this agreement represent a quarter of the total equity of NGE. The shares are strictly limited to ownership in NGE and are not linked to common equity of Golden Arrow Resources Corporation.
Contributions Comprising Cash and Field Development Services
SSA fulfilled the terms of the agreement by making a combined contribution consisting of cash and in-kind services critical to project development. This includes activities such as drilling, equipment usage, transport logistics, and other services integral to the advancement of exploration and site operations at San Pietro.
The services were assigned a collective value and were supplemented by the issuance of a promissory note for a remaining balance, thereby completing the required total contribution. This combination of support enhances the resource allocation at the project site without altering Golden Arrow’s broader capital structure.
Development Progress at San Pietro IOCG Project
The San Pietro IOCG Project is situated in Chile’s Antofagasta Region, known for hosting several iron oxide-copper-gold mineralized systems. The project comprises multiple targets and has been a focal point for recent field activity including mapping, sampling, and geophysical work.
With the formal involvement of SSA, project operations are expected to continue benefiting from expanded logistical and technical support. The structure of this partnership also allows for operational alignment between the companies on exploration objectives and timelines.
Corporate Structure and Share Details Clarified
As part of the agreement, the equity acquired by SSA is limited to New Golden Explorations Chile SpA and does not involve conversion or exchange into Golden Arrow's listed shares. This distinction maintains the corporate separation between the exploration entity and its parent company.
This development reflects a continuation of Golden Arrow’s strategy to collaborate with local and regional entities to support operational activities and manage fieldwork requirements. SSA’s role now encompasses both a shareholder interest and a services provider capacity within the project scope.
Project Infrastructure and Service Integration
The transaction underscores a multi-layered approach to project advancement, combining financial commitment with direct service implementation. Such a model facilitates not only cost efficiency but also greater integration of service provision and project oversight.
Through this model, SSA’s engagement spans both equity participation and on-ground operations, ensuring closer coordination in achieving project development goals.
