Astra Exploration exercised an earn-in option on Patagonia Gold’s La Manchuria project in Argentina, securing an 80% interest.
Earn-in followed more than USD 3 million of exploration and development spending, with Patagonia retaining 20%.
Parties plan to form a joint venture via a new Argentine company holding La Manchuria and nearby claims, owned 80% by Astra.
Patagonia’s 20% stake is carried until an NI 43-101 resource defines at least 1 million AuEq ounces, then costs pro rata.
Astra can lift ownership to 90% by paying USD 5 million within two years; dilution below 10% converts to a 1% NSR royalty.
