The Yoquivo project was owned by Minera de Cordilleras, a wholly owned subsidiary of Golden Minerals.

With the sale now complete, Golden Minerals is set to finalise the transfer of the Yoquivo concessions once Advance Metals establishes a Mexican subsidiary.

The Yoquivo project, spanning 1,975 hectares is an epithermal vein district near Ocampo. The property comprises seven concessions under an option to purchase, NSRs capped at $2.8m.

The transaction involved a series of payments from Advance Metals to Golden Minerals. Initially, a non-refundable cash payment of $20,000, plus VAT, was made on 24 October 2024, granting Advance Metals a seven-day exclusive period for due diligence.

This was followed by a payment of $275,000, plus VAT, on 1 November 2024, and a final payment of the same amount on 21 November 2024.

The Yoquivo property features an erosional “window” of andesites beneath Oligocene-aged rhyolites. Several silver-gold bearing epithermal veins have been mapped and sampled, with the San Francisco and Pertenencia veins being the most significant.

These veins have been traced and sampled along a 2km strike length. Additionally, multiple splays and parallel structures have been identified and sampled.

Golden Minerals conducted a 5,700m Phase III drill programme in 2022 to refine vein-hosted mineralisation at the property.
