Orosur receives exploration funds for Newmont/Agnico-backed Anza

Monte Aguila – the new name for Newmont Colombia, which is 50:50 owned by Newmont and Agnico-Eagle – has paid P$2.52-billion (about $650 000) to dual-listed Orosur Mining to fund exploration at the Anza project, in Colombia.

Orosur says its Colombian subsidiary, Minera Anza, and Monte Aguila have developed detailed exploration plans to restart field work at Anza once restrictions and risks associated with Covid-19 have subsided sufficiently.

The parties hope to get geophysical surveys and drilling under way by early November.
