UK-based mining and exploration company Patagonia Gold has concluded the reacquisition of the COSE property from Pan American Silver (PAAS).

On 27 February 2024, Patagonia signed an agreement to reacquire COSE in return for assuming PAAS’s costs and liabilities in relation to COSE.

Under the reacquisition agreement, Patagonia had then stated it would not make any monetary payment to PAAS, but instead it has agreed to assume the remaining closure costs of COSE, which are related to the ongoing environmental monitoring.

The deal’s completion was contingent upon meeting or waiver of conditions precedent associated to Patagonia’s acceptance of the current net smelter return royalties.

In 2018, Patagonia divested COSE to PAAS, and later in 2022 PAAS closed the COSE mine after mining the known main COSE mineral deposit from the site.

The reacquisition of COSE by Patagonia Gold is a strategic move that consolidates the company’s holdings within the El Tranquilo concession block.
