Baja Mining Signs Option Agreement

26.06.2013  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/26/13 -- Baja Mining Corp. ("Baja") (TSX: BAJ)(OTCQB: BAJFF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") whereby it can earn up to an 80% interest in Cinto Colorado S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Cinto"), a private Mexican company. Cinto's main asset is a surface lease (the "Lease") which entitles Cinto to process and/or sell tailings and slag now stored on the lands (the "Lands") subject to the Lease. Baja's preliminary due diligence review indicates the tailings and slag contain significant residual copper and cobalt.


The Lands are situated within Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, Mexico and are adjacent to the existing Boleo Project of Minera y Metalurgica del Boleo, S.A.P.I. de C.V. ("MMB"). Baja has a significant knowledge base in this area as it already owns a 15.7% interest in MMB and was a prior operator of MMB. However, Cinto and MMB and their respective projects are not related.


This region of Mexico has experienced considerable mining activities dating back to the mid-1860's. A prior operator of the Boleo Mine created the slag from 1866 to 1947 from blast furnace and copper reverb operations. Low grade stockpiles from the Boleo Mine were processed by a third party between 1962 and 1972 using a LPF (leach/precipitation/flotation) plant to create the tailings. The slag and tailings are on surface and are easily accessed by road.


"This Agreement represents an opportunity for Baja to generate positive cash flow relatively quickly," said Tom Ogryzlo, Baja's Interim CEO. "Baja can use its knowledge of the region and its extensive process expertise to advance this project as a low risk, low cost mining project."


Under the Agreement, for Baja to exercise its right to acquire the interest in Cinto it is required to:



-- Pay US$72,000 to Cinto (already paid);
-- Deliver an NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS"), on
or before October 27, 2013;
-- Deliver an NI 43-101 compliant Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") on
or before eight months following the delivery of the PFS; and
-- If needed, complete a financing on or before six months following the
delivery of the DFS, equal to the minimum amount estimated in the DFS
needed to implement the DFS' recommendations.


It is anticipated that as part of the PFS, the Company will evaluate production and marketing alternatives, with the goal of identifying the most economical and lowest risk alternative for development of the project. Baja has commenced work to conclude legal due diligence pertaining to title, licenses and environmental issues.
