In 2017, Golden Arrow concluded a long-negotiated joint venture with SSR Mining Inc., which resulted in the formation of Puna Operations Inc. This establishes one of two significant value streams for the Company. This joint venture formation resulted in the combination of the Chinchillas project with a full processing plant in operation at the Pirquitas property with an experienced production team. It includes production from stockpiled ore from the Pirquitas Mine until ore can be supplied from Chinchillas. In addition, Puna Operations’ other near term targets include a potential underground mine, which would provide an additional ore source for the Pirquitas mill. The regional...
