The consideration for the sale includes a cash component of $2 and a variable price of up to $10m (37.89m sol), contingent upon the commencement of commercial production at Santander Pipe.

The Santander Mine, acquired by CDPR in late 2021, faced operational curtailment in June 2023 due to economic pressures impacting zinc prices.

The mine’s assets feature a 2,500 tonnes per day sulphide milling and flotation plant. CDPR’s consolidated mine plan for the Santander mine includes the current resource at Magistral and all known resources at the Santander Pipe.

The transaction between CDPR and FIC03 is classified as an “arm’s length transaction”.
