Golden Arrow Announces, Puna Operations Has Received EIA Approval for Development of the Chinchillas Project

 -- Published: Thursday, 28 December 2017 | Print  | Disqus 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (GRG.V) (GAC.F) (GARWF) (“Golden Arrow” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Puna Operations has received approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) from the Argentine regulatory authorities in Jujuy Province, Argentina, and therefore is now permitted for exploitation.

“The EIA permit represents a very important step for the Puna Operations joint venture partnership, paving the way to extract Chinchillas ore integration with the Pirquitas mill for processing in 2018,” stated Joseph Grosso, President and CEO. “2017 has been a significant year that saw the combination of assets that has decades of production potential. Additionally, as a second shareholder value stream, Golden Arrow will continue exploration on the permitted Antofalla Project, a Chinchillas-like project, and on Pescado – all funded by new risk capital through New Golden Explorations Inc.”

As reported in SSR Mining News Release, December 27, 2017, “SSR Mining Receives EIA Approval For The Chinchillas Project.”  Development activities will commence with first ore feed to the Pirquitas mill expected in the second half of 2018. Priority development activities include initiating the earthworks projects at Chinchillas, releasing construction contracts and commencing construction activities at Pirquitas, as well as pioneering works for pre-stripping at the Chinchillas deposit.

Puna Operations Inc. is a joint venture comprised of the Pirquitas property and the Chinchillas property, owned 25% by Golden Arrow. Chinchillas is a silver-lead-zinc deposit located approximately 42 kilometers by road from the Pirquitas property. The pre-feasibility study on the Chinchillas project, filed on SEDAR on May 31, 2017, evaluates the development and construction of an open-pit mine and supporting infrastructure to supply ore to the Pirquitas processing facilities over an eight-year active mining period. The operation is expected to produce a silver-lead concentrate and a zinc concentrate with an average annual production of 6.1 million ounces of silver, 35.0 million pounds of lead and 12.3 million pounds of zinc at cash costs of $7.40 per payable ounce of silver sold. The Chinchillas project has low capital intensity with an estimated $81 million capital cost, based on initial capital expenditures and utilizing certain property, plant and equipment from the Pirquitas property. The project has an attractive post-tax net present value of $178 million, based on a 5% discount rate, and post-tax internal rate of return of 29%.
