VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2022 / St. Anthony Gold Corp. ("St. Anthony" or the "Company") (CSE:STAG)(Frankfurt: M1N)(OTC PINK:MTEHF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a right of exclusivity agreement (the "ROE") to acquire the Mallay Mine in Peru.
The Mallay Mine is located five hours drive north of Lima and three kilometers from the community of Mallay. The 10,562 hectare Tres Cerros Au-Ag Project, mine and processing plant are currently in care and maintenance mode. The existing 600 tpd plant was constructed in 2010.
The Mallay Mine was developed, capitalized and permitted by the multi-billion dollar, globally recognized mining company Compania de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (NYSE: BVN), a company that adheres to the highest of industry standards. Buenaventura sold the property to the third party with whom the ROE was entered into with.

The market is aggressively searching for projects quick to cash flow with district scale mineral potential in globally recognized jurisdictions."
The Company intends to conduct a thorough review of the existing resource base and mine development plan to bring the historical resources and reserves into current estimate status under National Instrument 43-101 and create a new mine plan that will incorporate bulk tonnage underground mining methods.
During the 90 days exclusivity period the Company shall complete further due diligence on the project and, if satisfied, negotiate terms of a definitive purchase agreement.
