LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON--(Marketwire - Dec. 4, 2012) - Hunt Mining Corp. (the "Corporation") (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce that it has signed an exploration agreement for the La Valenciana project located in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. The La Valenciana project is contiguous to the Corporation's flagship La Josefina project. The Corporation also signed an amendment to its La Josefina contract.
These agreements were finalized with Fomicruz, the provincial mining authority for the Santa Cruz province of Argentina. With the addition of the La Valenciana project, the Corporation added an additional 328 square kilometres of land situated contiguous to the east of the Corporation's flagship La Josefina project. Contiguous to the south of the La Valenciana project is Mirasol Resources Ltd.'s Joaquin silver-gold discovery. The La Valenciana project lies approximately 100 km north of the Mina Martha silver mine operated by Coeur d'Alene Mines. Mina Martha was discovered by Mr. Matt Hughes, President and CEO of Hunt Mining and Danilo Silva, President of Cerro Cazador S.A., Hunt Mining's 100% owned Argentine subsidiary("CCSA").
Exploration efforts to date at La Valenciana have focused on due-diligence sampling of high priority targets with mineralization exposed at surface. Results from this sampling will be released when all results are available.
The La Josefina amendment allows for an extension of exploration and development for an additional six years until 2019. Particulars of both contracts will be disclosed once certified English translations have been completed.
The La Valenciana contract and La Josefina amendment were accepted and signed by Fomicruz Vice President, Mr. Jorge Valvano, effective November 15th 2012. These agreements recognize that mineral exploration is an activity that demands flexibility and adaptability to unique circumstances and provides that the development schedule for the projects may be modified from time-to-time by mutual consent of Fomicruz and CCSA.
