Highlander Silver, a mineral exploration company, agreed to acquire the San Luis gold-silver project from SSR Mining, a gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc producer, for $45m. “We are delighted to be bringing the high-grade San Luis gold-silver project into our portfolio, and are very impressed by the size and grade of the historical resource contained within the Ayelen and Ines vein structures. We believe this deposit may be one of the highest-grade gold-silver deposits of its size that is yet to be mined in the world. Additionally, there may be exceptional growth and discovery potential on this large, but only partially prospected and explored property. There are numerous compelling exploration targets based on previous field mapping and rock chip sampling, and we believe that the district has potential to yield much more. This acquisition has the potential to be transformative for Highlander Silver and aligned with our vision of building a portfolio focused on world-class silver gold projects to the benefit of all our stakeholders,” David Fincham, Highlander Silver President and CEO.
