  Project in Colombia on a 50:50 basis, with Agnico as operator of the Joint Venture which is named Monte Aguila.
• Initial funding of approximately $650k was received by Minera Anzá on October 2, 2020 from Agnico to restart the exploration program. This funding is to be directed solely to fund exploration on the Anzá Project for the 12 month period starting September 7, 2020 and is the first contribution of the required US$4m of expenditure for this 12 month period per the terms of the Exploration Agreement.

Strategy and outlook

During the first quarter ended August 31, 2020 the Board has continued to apply its strategic plan to recapitalize and transform the Company by advancing its Anzá Project in Colombia (with Newmont and Agnico as partners), whilst progressing other opportunities, as well as finding a fair solution in Uruguay for all stakeholders.

As explained above, Newmont, and its new partner in the Anza project, Agnico, will need to spend $4 million on the Anza project between now and September 2021,to maintain its earn-in rights in the project, which should lead to an acceleration in the exploration and appraisal of the project in the coming year.

In Uruguay, the Company wholly owned subsidiary, Loryser is well advanced in the sale of its assets in Uruguay and with the reclamation and remediation of the tailings dam.
