Condor Resources president and CEO Lyle Davis said: "We would like to acknowledge the excellent work by Casapalca since concluding the Ocros earn-in agreement just four months ago.
“Subsequently, the local community approved a long-term exploration and exploitation agreement, and that community approval has led to the timely issuance of the DIA. Casapalca continue to impress, as a company that gets things done."
In April, Condor concluded an agreement with Compañia Minera Casapalca on the Ocros project.
Under the deal, Casapalca may earn a 51% interest in the project by completing 6,000m of diamond drilling and making payments of $250,000 over the next three years.
