In March, 2008, Estelar signed a Letter of Intent for a strategic alliance with the Fomento Minera de Santa Cruz Sociedad del Estado (“Fomicruz”), the Santa Cruz Provincial Mining Company, whereby that company may hold a 5% equity interest in Cerro Moro upon the receipt of all permits and authorisations required for production. In parallel, Exeter may earn-in to an 80% interest (resulting in a joint venture Fomicruz 20% and Exeter 80%) in a large block surrounding Cerro Moro by spending US$10 million. The Fomicruz JV Block covers a total area of 63,000 Ha (630 square kilometers), and includes a possible northwestern extension of the Escondida vein.
Area covered by Extorre’s Cerro Moro Property and the Fomicruz Joint Venture
The Union Domes gold project is located 18 kilometers south of the Company's Cerro Moro discovery, within the Fomicruz joint venture exploration ground area. Union Domes is a bulk tonnage gold-silver target related to a rhyolite dome complex. As of March 2011, Extorre completed 8 diamond drill holes on the property. Assays are pending and drilling continues on the property.
