Precious metals producer Argonaut Gold has acquired the necessary land to develop the San Agustin openpit and heap leach gold/silver project, located about 10 km southwest of its flagship El Castillo mine, the company reported on Monday.
The Toronto-based company advised that the land agreement allowed it to file for the required ‘change in use of soil’ permit, which it expected to receive without difficulty by the third quarter, paving the way for a construction decision before year-end.
