The Company completed an extensive surface trenching program at its Ninobamba property in Peru and expects to continue its efforts to identify significant silver and gold mineralization at the property. A strategic acquisition of an adjoining 2200 hectares from Newmont/Southern Peru Copper Corp., provide potential for extensions to the mineralization outlined to date. Recent staking of contiguous concessions has expanded the property to 4490 hectares. In mid-2016, the Company partnered with Magellan Gold Corp. whereby Magellan was obliged to make a series of investments directly into Rio Silver and expend the next US$2 Million of exploration expenditures at the Ninobamba property to earn a 50% interest in the project. Magellan agreed in early 2018 to terminate their option and the project ownership is 100% wholly owned by the Company. Rio SilverÂ’s experienced Peruvian exploration team will be instrumental in planning and conducting the work program at Ninobamba. Management will continue to add shareholder value through effective and efficient exploration, strategic property acquisitions and sound financial management.
