VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to provide an update on the 1.5% NSR royalty the Company holds on the Caballo Blanco project (“Caballo Blanco”, or the “Project”), located in Veracruz, Mexico.
On September 22, 2021, the operator of the Caballo Blanco project, Candelaria Mining Corp. (“CAND”), announced that it had closed the first tranche of a financing in the amount of approximately $7.9 million. Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico”) subscribed for approximately $6 million of this tranche, taking Agnico’s ownership of CAND from 10,120,000 common shares to 23,453,333 common shares and 6,666,667 share purchase warrants, representing approximately 19.59% of the issued and outstanding shares of CAND on a partially-diluted basis.
As reported by CAND on September 1, 2021, the entirety of the Agnico investment is allocated to the Caballo Blanco project, subject to receipt of necessary permits.
J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex, stated “We are very encouraged to see such a vote of confidence from Agnico in this project, which clearly has implications on the value of our 1.5% royalty. It is also worth noting that Almadex owns a 1.75% royalty on the El Cobre property, which adjoins Caballo Blanco to the south and is operated by Azucar Minerals Ltd. We are pleased that exploration is continuing in this area of great mineral potential.”
