CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/08/09 --
Tara Gold Resources Corp. (PINKSHEETS: TRGD)
(FRANKFURT: T8N) announces that it has exchanged its 20% Net Cash Flow
interest (NCF) in the Lluvia de Oro mining property, located in Sonora,
Mexico, for cash and NWM Mining Corporation equity. By eliminating the NCF,
NWM is better positioned to secure the resources needed to begin full scale
commercial production. NWM has invested a total of CAD $22.5 million into
the project and expects to begin commercial gold and copper production in
2010.
Tara has exchanged the NCF for US $200,000 upon signing, 2,500,000 shares
of NWM to be issued January 2, 2010 and an additional 2,500,000 shares of
NWM to be issued upon NWM producing and selling 3,750 ounces of gold over a
3 month period.
NWM has combined two distinct gold deposits which can be served
simultaneously by a central processing facility. The two deposits are the
past-producing Lluvia de Oro gold mine and the nearby La Jojoba gold
resource. The combined properties currently host 315,210 ounces of Measured
and Indicated gold resources and 253,373 ounces of Inferred gold resources.
In addition, NWM holds exploration rights to 5,074 contiguous hectares of
ground surrounding and along trend of the deposits. The Company's other
properties include the Sierra Pinta high-grade past-producing underground
gold mine located approximately 25 km northwest of La Herradura, Mexico's
largest producing gold mine and the PII Colorado exploration project
located 6 km southwest of the historic Llano Colorado gold camp.
Mr. Francis Biscan Jr., President of Tara Gold Resources, stated, "This
exchange is good for both Tara and NWM shareholders as it moves the project
towards commercial production. In place of a 20% interest in just the
Lluvia project, we now have an interest in a district level gold
development project and NWM's other properties in Sonora State, North West
Mexico."
Tara Gold Resources signed an agreement, dated September 12, 2006, with NWM
Mining Corporation (formerly known as Columbia Metals Corporation), whereby
NWM Mining acquired 100% interest, subject to Tara's ongoing 20% Net Cash
Flow interest, by making payments totaling $4,337,500, and issuing
1,000,000 shares to Tara Gold.
