Commenting on these developments, Michael Kurtanjek, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In an economic environment where financing small resource companies such as ours remains a considerable challenge, we are pleased that existing shareholders continue to realise the underlying value of our Company and its Cerro Blanco project and have provided financing necessary to take the project to final engineering feasibility. With this financing in place, management will be now able to focus on implementing the work schedule as detailed in the Company's news release of September 17, 2013. By agreeing to the terms of the MOU, the Company has maintained full ownership of all of its assets for the benefit of all shareholders, rather than an external entity." Mr Kurtanjek went on to say, "Once the EIS has been completed, the Company will seek to expand corporate development opportunities, principally in Asia, for strategic partnerships, additional off-take agreements, technical and supply agreements and construction finance. To this end, the Shareholder Group is well positioned to assist the Company with identifying and realizing corporate development opportunities."
