Los Andes Announces Approval of Acquisition of Water Rights and
Studies for Hydroelectric Generation Facility
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 23, 2014) - Los
Andes Copper Ltd. ("Los Andes", or the "Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:LA)(PINKSHEETS:LSANF) is pleased to announce that the
Company has received approval from the TSXV for the acquisition by
the Company from Turnbrook Mining Ltd. ("TBML") of the
non-consumptive water rights over a section of the Rocin River,
Putaendo, Fifth Region, Chile, together with the engineering and
other studies and reports for the development of a run-of-river
hydroelectric project generation facility (collectively, the "Hydro
Electric Project"). The Company received written consents for the
acquisition from a majority of shares held by disinterested
shareholders of the Company representing 61.5% of the disinterested
shares.
As consideration for the acquisition, the Company will issue to
TBML 37,500,000 shares in the capital of the Company. At current
market value for the Company's common shares, Los Andes is
effectively purchasing the Hydro Electric Project at a discount of
approximately 48% to the Cdn$14,450,000 deemed value supported by
the fairness opinion obtained by the Company.
Mr. Eduardo Covarrubias, President and CEO, stated, "We are
extremely pleased to have received the votes of disinterested
shareholders holding more than 62 million shares approving the
acquisition of the Hydro Electric Project. As we have already
stated, Los Andes management believes that the acquisition of the
Hydro Electric Project will bring a number of important benefits to
the Company, including the potential to not only provide a portion
of the power requirements for the Company's mine, but also cash
flow until the power is required by the Company. Funds generated by
the Hydro Electric Project could also help fund the mine's
pre-construction development and other ongoing costs, and
potentially reduce the need for future dilution of the Company's
shares."
