Cuervo Resources closes C$0.35 mln fundraising, seeking JV partner for Cerro Ccopane Iron Ore Project
Cuervo Resources (CNSX: FE, FWB: CRR) said it has closed the equity financing of C$350,000 through a non-brokered private placement to fund the company’s iron ore exploration projects in Peru and provide more working capital for the company.
The move was announced last week.
Cuervo issued 1 million units at C$0.35 per unit. Each unit consists of one share in the company and one full warrant with a conversion price of C$0.55. The warrants can be executed within 18 months of the closing of the financing, and can be accelerated if the company’s share price reaches or exceeds C$1.10 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time in the six months after the closing, which is set for 15 December this year.
The company is actively seeking a joint venture partner to advance its Cerro Ccopane Iron Ore project in the Cusco area of southern Peru. One of the six zones identified at Cerro Ccopane, Orcopura, has a measured and indicated resource of 56 Mt (million tonnes) grading 46.7% Fe (iron) and 51 Mt grading 43.7% Fe in the inferred category. However, gravity and geophysical testing and modelling on five of the six identified zones have indicated the potential for a substantially larger 2.65 billion tonnes of iron ore.
An independent transportation study carried out earlier this year concluded that transporting ore from Cerro Ccopane to a Pacific tidewater port on Peru’s coast via a dedicated pipeline or rail was feasible and did not entail unique logistical challenges. The report considered either a 5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), 10 mtpa or 20mtpa project over a 20 year mine life.
