John Gomez, President and CEO of Inomin Mines, said: “La Gitana and Pena Blanca provide us with two highly prospective gold-silver properties in a prolific mineral belt. We look forward to completing drilling to delineate resources at La Gitana and expand the mineral footprint. Pena Blanca is a large, gold-silver mineral system with several exploration targets. We expect these transformational acquisitions and our future exploration work will create significant value for all stakeholders.”
The properties are located in the Oaxaca gold-silver belt, a major northwest-trending regional structure hosting several operating precious metals mines and prospects including Gold Resource’s Arista and Mirador gold-silver mines and Fortuna Silver’s San Jose gold-silver mine.
