Canadian precious metals producer Primero Mining has acquired a 30 192 ha concession that covers a greenfield swathe of prospective and 18 km between the San Dimas concession and the Ventanas exploration property, from private vendors.
The TSX- and NYSE-listed company on Tuesday stated that the mineral concession acquisition built on the about 10 000 ha added by the company in the second half of 2015, and reflected Primero’s strategic goal of acquiring concessions outside of the original San Dimas mining area and the silver purchase agreement with metals streaming firm Silver Wheaton.
