Prospector
Files NI 43-101 Report for Candamena Property, Proceeds With Acquisition
March 4, 2008
Prospector Consolidated Resources Inc. (the "Company") is
pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted the Company's
filing in respect of its agreement to acquire the interest of First Majestic
Silver Corp. in the Candamena property, Chihuahua State, Mexico, and that a
NI 43-101 geological report for the Candamena project has been filed on
SEDAR.
Under terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company will acquire
100% of First Majestic's interest in the Candamena gold-silver prospect by
issuing 2,000,000 shares of the Company to First Majestic and assuming all of
First Majestic's obligations under two purchase agreements with the
underlying property owners. The Company originally paid a $50,000 cash
deposit to First Majestic to secure the rights to the project and has now
paid $825,000 US plus VAT to the underlying property owners. The total
remaining cash payment obligations total $5,550,000 US, to be paid in
instalments between now and November, 2008.
The purchase agreements cover 5,215 hectares that make up the
Candamena Mining District, including the Nuevo Dolores historical deposit, La
Blanca, La Verde, the La Prieta mine and the flotation mill and other assets
located on the property. The Company's initial focus will be on the Nuevo
Dolores zone, a volcanogenic-hosted epithermal gold-silver zone. In
addition, the Company intends to carry out work programs at La Blanca, a
similar highly prospective area, and two old high grade silver-lead-zinc
mines called La Verde and La Prieta.
The management team of Prospector is very excited about the
opportunity in acquiring an asset of this potential size. The Company's
objective is to proceed as rapidly as possible to confirm previous estimates
as reported on the Candamena property and to compare its potential outcome to
existing mines within the region.
The Candamena Mining
District is located some 250 km WSW from the city of Chihuahua, Mexico.
