Goldgroup Mining Closes Its Acquisition of the San Francisco Gold Mine in Mexico
Goldgroup Mining (GGA.V) on Monday said it closed the acquisition of Molimentales del Noroeste, S.A. de C.V. through a Concurso Mercantil process, giving it control of the past-producing San Francisco gold mine in Mexico.The structure of the "plan of arrangement" allowed the company to receive ownership of Molimentales, the San Francisco Mine and its associated assets, including mining concessions, processing plants, and related infrastructure, free and clear of all liens and liabilities. The San Francisco project is fully permitted for a rapid restart of mining operations and is comprised of two open pits together with heap leach processing facilities and associated infrastructure, it said."We intend to move quickly with infill drilling to tighten historic drill spacing, optimize the mine plan, and advance the project toward a potential restart of mining operations and gold production in late 2026 or early 2027," said Chief Executive Ralph Shearing.The company is also advancing the proposed business combination with Gold Resource Corporation (GORO) which holds a 100% interest in the producing Don David gold mine in Oaxaca, Mexico as well as the Back Forty gold/silver development project in Michigan.Shares of the company were last seen up $0.04 to $1.49 on the TSX Venture Exchange.Price: $1.49, Change: $+0.04, Percent Change: +2.76%
