Ann: Option underwriting and second drill rig at Bramaderos, page-11

It's a project generator model not uncommon in Canada but pretty much unheard of in Aus. Management team has been in Ecuador for years and has covered a lot of ground. Solgold (Malcolm Norris MD at the time) farmed in to Cascabel. Cornerstone owns 9.2% of SOLG as well as 15% of the JV. CGP also has two JVs with Newcrest, 1 in E & the other in Chile. MN told me at Noosa that CGP has the best in-country team in Ecuador proven by the fact STM got a drill permit for Bramaderos when many others are still waiting. CGP has more ground but I think it may be rethinking the PG model and will do some initial drilling itself. My guess is that Newcrest will make an offer for the 9.2% of SOLG & the 15% of the JV in the not too distant future. The endgame as far as I can tell is that Cascabel will end up a BHP/NCM JV.
So as far as Bramaderos is concerned, it's MN's relationship with CGP that got the deal done. He has great respect for them & vice versa and there is a good working relationship. I assume Malcolm & Bruce had a good look at all of the CGP concessions and picked B as having the most promise. It certainly has a multitude of targets, all of which could be a company-maker.
I followed MN into SOLG in 2011/12 (can't remember) after success at Tujah Bukit, sold some last year and swapped the rest into CGP. I have been buying more under $4.
So you can see I am a big fan of MN & BR.
I also own some Aurania - ARU on the TSXV - which has a massive landholding in Ecuador, 208,000ha! Keith Barron is another legend. The videos on the website are awesome. If you can understand what the Kupferschiefer is, how it formed etc. you will be a long way to understanding why I think this is one of the red hot exploration plays for 2020.
All the best.
